I recently sold my 4000th piece of jewelry on etsy (I can hardly believe it) and I'm celebrating with a giveaway!
What you can win: a nova trio set, which comes with three pairs of tiny gold-filled stud earrings: white topaz, blush cubic zirconia, and black spinel. (It's perfect if you're indec... Comment - Like

Maddy had read a short story about it in some magazine, although now she couldn't recall which one. What she did remember was that you had to bake two pies – one with, and one without. She baked them both on the middle rack, placing the one for herself on the right side, nudging it gently into... Comment - Like

Yesterday afternoon, I hopped on a ferry to Bainbridge Island to visit my best friend, who moved there just a few months ago. We walked around the little downtown area (Winslow), wandering through the bookstore, fabric store, the bakery, and the yarn and tea store, then had a yummy dinner in a quiet... Comment - Like

It's been a little over a week since the opening of Mignon Kitchen Co., and I owe a huge thank you to everyone who visited, blogged about, and placed an order from the shop! I'm so flattered by the response.
A lot of people have asked me who designed the site and what service I'm using. I desig... Comment - Like

What's the best fortune you've ever gotten? Earlier this week, Stefan and I went out to celebrate Chinese New Year and these were in our fortune cookies. Oddly similar but opposite: mine said You will have good luck in the winter and his said You will have good luck in the summer. Comment - Like

I'm thrilled to share that Mignon Kitchen Co. is now open!
Over the past year, I've become increasingly in love with spending time in the kitchen and giving homemade food to others as gifts. I knew I wanted to make something bigger related to that process, but I wasn't sure what. Then, slowly, ... Comment - Like

On clear nights, the creature came out of the woods and wandered through our town.

"Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, Moonrise Kingdom tells the story of two twelve-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness."
I can't wait for Wes Anderson's latest movie, Moonrise Kingdom. Comment - Like

Without the instruction manual, she was having a hard time getting the time machine to work.

I wasn't sure any of the videos I shot in Paris were going to turn out, because I'm used to filming with a tripod and multiple takes. But, somehow, I had just enough workable clips to stitch together the above video. (The music is by Les Chauds Lapins.)

Hi guys. I'm back! We had a great trip but I'm exhausted from all the traveling (I slept for about twelve hours last night and am still tired).
