Last Friday I went with two friends to celebrate my belated December birthday. We lunched and then headed over to Parfum des Beaux Arts, which is so simply stated on this ordinary door. But when I walked through this unassuming door, the world shifted slightly and I was in a wonderland of scent, fragrance and … Continue Reading
For those of you who celebrate, Happy Passover!
I’ve had precious little time to devote to my creative side this week. My hour in the garden on the freakishly warm day. And a little time at my work table revealed the beginning of this new page.

Really? THIS is why yesterday was so special.
We had a freakishly warm day yesterday. I had the lovely opportunity to sit outside (yes outside at 8:00 a.m. in my pajamas) in my favorite outdoor spot.

The kids made these banners for Martin Luther King Day back in February. Today seemed liked the perfect day to share it. If … Continue Reading
Journal cover – please note that I DID NOT do this lovely cover, it’s a postcard by Doron Fishman. I love the loose watercolor style and thought it captured the spirit of the city. I’m back from spring break in San Francisco and thought I’d share photos of some of my journal pages and a … Continue Reading
