Currently, my house is functioning as a tiny sweatshop. It’s a factory alright – a factory of all things Rainbow Loom. Maybe you’ve seen the sleeves of rubber bracelets or maybe your home is similar to mine with floors littered with microscopic, neon rubber bands and tiny fingers working away taking orders […]
Words fail me when it comes to describing my recent trip to Marrakech, so I will let these images do most of the talking. Certainly there are magnificent sights to be seen – in sharp contrast to the realities of daily life in a hot, dusty, bustling city. The locals […]
Oh Paris, how I have missed you. We’d met only twice in my youth, but how I longed for you. With only a few decades of separation, we somehow managed to find 2.5 glorious days together last week. Your weather was perfection, and my schedule was wide open. Not a […]

As many of you know, I love a crafts. As a kid, I used to walk over to The Hobby Shop on Magazine Street just to wander the aisles for hours. That place was (and still is) filled with so much stuff – so much potential, and I just loved […]
Currently in LA, a fancy design conference called The La Cienega Design Quarter Legends of La Cienega is underway. While it’s fun to see the showrooms all dolled up for magazine editors and design bloggers and attend an amazing variety of panel discussions and presentations, I miss the day to […]
As most parents know, the amount of clutter (er, artwork) a child generates can be just plain mind-blowing. As adults, class schedules, invitations, and recipes are just a fraction of the paperwork we refer to no matter how organized we try to be on our iPhones. I have known several […]
Paris Photo LA takes place this weekend at Paramount Studios. I attended the preview on Friday and was quite simply, blown away. Some of the finest fine art photography in the world is on display (and available for purchase). Take a look at some of my favorite discoveries.
