This morning I’m off to hear the founders of Typesetting speak at a CreativeMornings, and I can’t wait. We were feeling a just a wee bit overwhelmed this week, so Jamie Wieck’s #the50 Things Every Creative Should Know was worth a review. We’re also really enjoying this clever candle, a new sketchbook video from Seb Lester, and a […]

As a kid, egg decorating with my great aunt Nita (“Nina” to me) was always a highlight of spring. No ordinary dip-and-dye would do for Nina, the retired art teacher, and me, meticulous art teacher’s daughter that I was. We poked pins into pencil erasers and dipped the pin heads into melted parafin to draw […]
Today, Jack’s making an appearance over at Cycle Style Boston. Jack and I are both big fans of bicycles, but even I can’t match Jack’s dedication to commuting by bike all year long – I just get sick of the slop sometimes. And lazy. Nathaniel Fink, the local artist and photographer behind Cycle Style Boston, hopes […]
Today has been a little hectic, but who doesn’t love lunch at 3:00? Still, photo booth photos have been edited and uploaded, posters have been shipped and I have a date with Elizabeth to catch up at Design Salon Boston tonight, so all is well.
This weekend, one of the surprises I was responsible for in Pennsylvania was the bridal shower photobooth. With all of the photo fun we have at New Years every year, I knew it would be easy enough to set up, and offered to do so as a bonus shower activity that didn’t involve making gowns out of […]

It’s looking more spring-like from my vantage in Pennsylvania than the Instagram photos I’m seeing coming out of Boston, but it’s still colder than this time last year – when highs in Boston were in the 80s and Jack and I had a lovely warm run and dinner al fresco. (Thanks for that reminder, Timehop. […]
Artist and architect “Red” Hong Yi has been known for her large portraits constructed with unexpected media: Yao Ming with a basketball and Ai Weiwei in sunflower seeds, among others. This month, though, her focus has been on creativity with food. Sharing a new piece on Instagram every day, Red has been constructing masterpieces with […]
Jack and I have been feeling a bit of wanderlust – with so many nuptials to celebrate as of late, and so many friends who have moved away, it seems like it’s been forever since we dropped ourselves into a city where we know no one, and have no agenda. We love a good party, […]
Spring is coming to Boston – just not yet. In the meantime, amid all this slop and bluster, it’s been high season for un-brellas: you may recall my fascination with abandoned bumpershoots from this post last year. It was a long, safe winter for Boston’s umbrellas, but March came in like a lion and brought widespread destruction. […]
