'Tis the season

for pumpkins!  This colorful assortment spotted at TJ's (where else?!) for $6.99 each.

Back to the Grind

First day back to the office!  Tired, but overall not so bad.  Good to dust off the ol' brain again.

an interesting specimen

I've always wanted to display these creatures in my home.  I might be the only person under 80 to be craving taxidermied butterfly home decor, but hey, i dig it.  Arting it up in this nest!

Campy

What a great summer print for a dress!

The Maine Event

Baby's first vacay!  She loved every moment.  We'll always have Maine...

MDO

Mommy's day out!  I had a lovely day at Dia Beacon to recharge my brain.

yum

These and these are on the fantasy wish list.  Too bad I don't have a lot to dress up for this summer, but I'll be back in the adult world soon enough!

cheese envy

I haven't had dairy for 2 months for the benefit of the little one.  Once I'm back on an all cheese diet, this Brooklyn shaped cheese board will add a festive kick to the inevitable pig out.

sum sum summertime

These days I'm much more likely to be toting a diaper bag around (as if I leave the house at all!) but if I were up for something dressier, I'd opt for this lil number.

So Meaty

I completely agree.  I'd take eggplant over any meat if I were stuck on a desert island!

It's nice to be a Beastie

Especially loving the art and airiness of Mike D's Cobble Hill brownstone.

Thank Heaven For Little Girls

Carys Eve is here!  So much love!

friends forever

This is an awesome grown-up version of the friendship bracelet.

the big idea

I'm making some progress getting the essentials of the house together.  Now I need a wow factor.  This screen would do.

farewell for now

I'm officially on maternity leave!  The office is on hold for now.  It's a strange feeling, but I'm happy to have time to get things in order and nest.

design beyond reach

Damn, how hard is it for a girl to find an affordable sconce around here?!

Harlequin Multi

A little Jonathan Adler to brighten up this gloomy Monday.

plus

I've really been feeling plus patterns lately.  Maybe this should rock my wall.

cheeburger, cheeburger

Any gift would be more delicious if presented this way.  Related side note- I just had 4 sliders for lunch and I think my belly button might pop out.  Yum.

Finally!

Park Avenue perks up after a loooooong winter.
