Chicago Apartment

Whenever I go through Chicago I stop to see friends and enjoy the city for a day or two.  I love the apartment where I usually stay; it has loads of natural light provided by floor to ceiling windows, and my friend fills it with cool art, plants, and books.  Plus, it has a spiral staircase and a sweet view of some city-scape.  I always think it should be photographed for the Small, Cool section of one of my favorite apartment design websites - Apartment Therapy.  There are so many cool ideas there, check it out!

Taste of Winter

It has been unseasonably warm for the past few months, and now Christmas is just a week away.  There was some snow on the ground when we stopped in at Bradbury's in Madison, but then it warmed up and it all disappeared.  I am sort of enjoying not having to deal with bitter cold...but, where's the white??

Midwestern Bound

Tomorrow I leave to spend the Christmas season in the land of cows, beer, and cheese.  Oh, and family, too.  Hooray!  ps:  This is a cow toy that my friend sent in a letter from WI.

We go together like...

...a pair of mugs?  One for me, one for Trish, and two lovely additions for the kitchen countertop by a local artist.  Merry Christmas to us!  Anything ceramic that supports the consumption of coffee or tea will always be joyfully given and received in this household :)

Check out those pants!

Totally rad.  Some color for your day :)

Good Morning, Afternoon, Evening

Wherever.  Whenever.  :)

Wanderlust

Ah friend, I feel your presence so strongly today.  You make me itch in anticipation of a new adventure.  (ps: the photo is from this trip!)

Around Town: Red Accents

One year ago...

I was wandering around Costa Rica!  I can't believe it's been that long already.  Ahh, I miss it.
