Mary McCartney’s Photography

The first book of photography I ever purchased, before I even had a driver’s license, was Linda McCartney’s Sixties. My favorites in the book were and continue to be the family photographs she included, particularly this magic-hour one of Paul and Mary that he used for the back of his album. I am not so...

It’s good to remember that Heaven & Nature still sing

Pink Martini has a new Christmas album that’s a lot of fun. Ben Folds has a new album, too called Lonely Avenue. One of my favorite novelists, Nick Hornby wrote the lyrics. Love this video of them chatting about working together. It’s what art should be: a collaborative conversation where we help each other be...

Unpacking and pausing for happiness

I’m traveling a lot for my real job these days. Here are a few souvenirs keeping me company… *Avec Eric. What a lovely show. You can watch episodes online including one shot in the Caymans. I love the aesthetic of the show – lots of white space, clean logo, simple premise. It’s therapeutic TV. *On...

In The Quiet Hours

I know you are busy and probably sleep deprived so I won’t waste space talking about how I’m busy and sleep deprived. I am so very thankful for work. The nighttime editing for the past few months has been great to catch up on podcasts and quiet, productive time in general, but I’m excited to...

Nourished by the Words of Imaginary Friends

I have been meaning to tell you how much I love Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s Gift From The Sea.  I tried to read it once when I was in college by the sea, but never finished it. I put it to my ear and could not hear the ocean. This time, it seemed to roar. I...

home

So true. It was lovely to have gotten away and it’s lovely to be home. Love this book‘s clever cover art that I snagged from my phone on a rare date-night to the bookstore. It sounds like an interesting premise. {My husband here reading about Hawaii} Other finds from the evening from the spy cam:...

Aces

*Molly Ringwald’s book Getting The Pretty Back is lovely and feels like a conversation with a really genuine, interesting friend. *I’ve worn out the link to this wedding from Leigh Miller. Her work is so inspiring. *I love this post from Hula Seventy: Things I’d Like to Tell My 17-Year Old Self. It’s brilliant and...

Show & Tell: Summer Reading List 2010

This image popped up on Snippet & Ink a while back and I actually gasped. Love it. Heaven must look something like this. Kindles make it harder for me to snoop in airports and pools to see what people are reading.  I still carry around actual books so feel free to snoop away. I’ll make...

Shells from The Beach Bag

I’m still working on converting my Kentucky cottage into a beach house. As we drove around in beach communities this week, I took quick photos from the passenger seat of details that make a house a beach house, like this one. It’s not always the beach, it’s the little things: like starfish, confederate jasmine on...
