this chair rules

i recently came across this desk chair made from vintage rulers and yardsticks! it's completely sturdy, using a chair frame, which is then covered in a collection of old rulers from local companies. what a great way to display a favorite collection. i love how the various kinds of type and colors combine to make this one-of-a-kind item a work of art.

coming soon!...

just staying put

sometimes i find something that i have all intentions of photographing and listing immediately, until i get it home and realize that it's just too cool to part with right away. such is the case with this antique apothecary drawer. it's currently residing on my desk filled with spun cotton partridges and autumn gourds. love it!

hello, to one of the prettiest months! let's hope for less rain and more filtered sunshine, less heat and more cool afternoons, less wind and more colorful leaves - still on the trees, not the street. xo

neighbor

a few weeks ago my mom and i happened to run into liz gilbert walking one of her dogs. after i was done crawling around on the ground with her dog, we chit-chatted about life, books, and our hometown. she happens to live right up the road from my house - of all the places she has traveled and loved, she recently found her way to the place that we both seem to love most. totally down-to-earth and wonderful (plus a fellow animal lover!) she's just a very cool person. after reading this wonderful book years ago, we're excited to watch it this weekend! (eat, pray, love photo)
