Let there be Light
2007-07-19 16:33:00 Kevin and I are almost done remodeling our house. Yay!! Our floors have been refinished and we're just waiting for the polyseal to dry. Once that's done, they'll put in the baseboards and we can FINALLY move in. It's only been almost a year.Now that the main stuff (new walls, new floors, trim, etc.) is almost done, I'm having a lighting dilemmia. We have a lovely new fireplace, and a place for a sconce on each side. I can't decide if I want some ornate crystal affair, or a sleek modern look, or maybe this lovely little birdie from Circa Light ing. You can see some pictures of our remodeling here. Any suggestions??

Happy 4th!
2007-07-04 14:31:00 John James Audubon was an ornithologist and painter best known for cataloging the birds of North America. Each of his paintings depicts the bird set true-to-life in its natural habitat. He published several books of his works, including Birds of North America, which is often regarded as the greatest picture book ever published. Christie's sold a copy in 2000 for $8.8 million and set a world record for most expensive printed book.The National Audubon society was incorporated in 1905 and named in his honor. Today, on this most patriotic of days, we are celebrating the Bald Eagle. More About: Happy
Freshcut fabrics
2007-07-03 17:53:00 A few months ago I came across an adorable little doll blanket on Flickr. I followed a few links to find out what genius had created this precious thing, and discovered my new favorite fabric line, Freshcut, by Heather Bailey.If you like fabrics, you should definitely take a peek. Her patterns are so beautiful, it would be impossible to pick a favorite. For those of you who have used Freshcut fabrics, please post a comment and tell us all about it. Oh, and if anyone wants to make me a purse out of this one, I would be much obliged! More About: Fabrics
paper rock scissors
2007-07-02 21:51:00 How many pairs of scissors do you own? I'm a firm believer that you can never have too much cutting power. On any given day I own between 2-8 pairs. (The fluctuation is a direct result of my lazy unwillingness to ever put anything back where it goes. ) Perhaps I would take better care of my scissor collection if it was made up of these quirky yet cute bird cutters from Neiman Marcus. The handles are magnetic, so I don't think I could lose them even if I tried. More About: Rock , Paper

Now Seeking Sponsors
2007-06-29 16:12:00 I tried adding google adsense to my blog this morning, but the pictures were terrifying and not at all lovely. So, I decided it would be better to allow my readers to become sponsors and submit their own beautiful ads. In honor of this new endeavor, the first 5 readers that respond to this post will be given free advertising for two weeks. Yay!! All you have to do is leave a comment. I will email you the information and you can get your image to me as soon as you want. I would really like it if your ad had a bird in it somewhere, but it doesn't have to.Update: I have five people, but only 3 ads so far. I you weren't one of the first five, but you email me an ad before they do, I will put up your ad until I get all the others in. And I might rotate you in from time to time.my email address is in my profile!! More About: Sponsors , Seeking , Seek

Bird of the Week
2007-06-26 15:48:00 On Saturday, Kevin and I were out estate-selling when we noticed this very unusual bird. It was black except for some bright neon orange patches on the wings. I had never seen a bird like that, so of course I drifted into the other lane while craning my head to follow it. Luckily, Kevin yelled at me before there was an accident. Moral of the story: I don't know! I just wanted to give a little background on the Bird of the Week .If you guys ever see any unusual birds and want to submit them just leave a comment or email me.

New York Public Library
More articles from this author:2007-05-25 21:07:00 I love the library, especially on a rainy Friday like today. There's nothing like browsing through rows and rows of books, smelling all those wonderful musty library smells, and listening to "Love in the Library " on my ipod. Mmmmm.If I happened to live in NYC, I would be heading to the New York Public Library right now. While I was there, I would pick up a set of these beautiful bird magnets from The Library Shop. Aren't they sweet? There are 24 different magnets featuring birds and nests printed on vintage images of London and Paris. If you don't live in NYC, don't despair! You too can live out this fantasy afternoon by simply heading to your local Public Library and ordering them over the internet. More About: New-York 1, 2, 3, 4 |
