Fresh starts, fresh pages
As I was saying to my sister earlier today, New Year’s Eve is not a holiday I love—too anticlimactic, too couple-y—but there’s something to be said for New Year’s Day. While the 80 degree weather here doesn’t quite facilitate quiet, cozy contemplation in the way a crisp snowstorm might, I spent the day relaxing and […]
Bye bye 2016 (you were a trip)
I’m going to wrest myself away from old episodes of The Great British Bake Off long enough to bid farewell to 2016. If I had to use to just one word to describe the last year, I’d say: tumultuous. There were some highs and some lows, but mostly it was just unsettled and, truth be […]
This week’s to do list (- hot water)

Denver airport was full of camped-out travelers and the line at the United customer service desk was long long long, so I had my moments of doubt, but all went pretty smoothly and […]

There’s more to life than decorating.” —Albert Hadley After all of the drama and exhaustion of my move in August, I hit a wall about three days after move-in.

I thought about skipping a calendar this year, but now I’m having second thoughts. There’s something really pleasing about the monthly ritual of flipping a beautiful calendar to a […]
January is my favorite magazine month
I feel like I have so much I want to tell you! It’s been hard to decide where to begin. This sort of echoes my general, near-constant state of attempting to “catch up,” but seeing as how the majority of my most recent posts have been random updates, and random updates aren’t all that interesting, […]

Bye bye, 2008
I have to admit, I’m not much of a fan of New Year’s Eve. Any event that includes a countdown seems to be anticlimactic, I think. But I’ll go out with some old friends, meet my friend’s fiance (fresh off the plane from England), toast them with some free champagne at midnight, and look forward […]
I like writing, photography, reading, music, design, typography, paper products, days in the seventies and sparkly snow, Spanish wine and cans of PBR. I spent a year in Córdoba, Spain, working as a
