Anyone who has visited our home knows that neons are not really our thing; we’re a black, white and grey with textures and a splash or two of UJC purple kind of household. Still, when I happened upon Diela Maharanie‘s works at RageHaus, I was mesmerized. The sharp angles, the bold colors – I couldn’t […]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We’re off to celebrate the birthday of a friend who shares her day with Pat, but I’ve been collecting festive Guinness-based confections all week and at least one of these might be in our future once the group tires of Penguin. (If I can track down my mother’s baileys recipe, that […]
We almost had a peek of real, honest-to-goodness Spring this week! Alas, this morning was as cold as ever. I actually couldn’t bear the thought of pulling my winter bike coat back out of the closet, and I took the T instead. (I’ll regret this choice around 6pm.) As long as I’ve been in Boston, […]
I love a good video, and there seem to be quite a few popping up in my google reader feed this week (like this one – how? why?), but I’m especially a sucker for lettering in moving pictures. I follow type designer and calligrapher Seb(astian) Lester on Instagram for his beautifully lettered snark, but the […]
David Schwen’s #pantonepairings photos have been making the rounds on Pinterest, but only this morning did I finally track them down at the source. What fun I’ve been missing! Schwen, as it turns out, is a very talented Instagram user – and Instagram is where you can find all of this pantone-inspired series, along with […]
How neat are these illustrations of iconic buildings from Portuguese artist André Chiote? The silhouette of the Niterói Museum of Contemporary Art is what first caught my eye – its shape is unmistakable, and Jack and I visited when we were in Brazil too many years ago.
It’s a typical Sunday scene: our first order of business on any morning that doesn’t involve a day job is coffee, followed shortly thereafter by my spreading out work to be done in the dining room, and Jack retreating to the office. Last week, Erin’s post got me contemplating mugs. We tend to favor all-white-everything […]
As we approach the one year anniversary of some dear friends, another 2012 project throwback is in order. We shared a sneak peak of Bob and Grace’s marriage announcements last year, but never the final project. The couple had a small, intimate city hall wedding in Cambridge, just before graduating from their respective graduate programs […]
Most Fridays, I would really like to kick things off with a love letter to coffee. Nantucket Blend, you are the light of my life, though I sneak around with Pleasant Morning Buzz on the weekend. Leaving our caffeine addictions out of this, we’ve had a couple of sleepless nights this week; I’m very much […]
Yesterday was a hectic day for us, and a blustery one at that. By the time we found ourselves walking home from Canary Square post-poutine, we were plotting stops along the way to get in from the cold – and then we happened upon OGO Gallery. Occupying what has lately been vacant retail space in JP, the […]
