Sheer Joy-Maira Kalman back at the New York Times

Somehow, I missed the fact that Maira Kalman was back at the New York Times. Yesterday morning, I discovered her again and with sheer joy shared her work and read numerous passages out loud to my husband. ( who i might add, was trying to do his own share of Sunday morning reading during 15 minutes of unusual peace & quiet ) With him focused on the NYT, and me falling in love with each of her posts the day was off to a wonderful beginning...Cuddly, sleepy babies and now this!


Enough of your time taken with my intro, it should be used to enjoy this and this
I LOVED her visit to the Supreme Court and talk with Ruth Bader Ginsburg...and her divine trip to Monticello...and...

Anyone know where and how to get one of her prints...I shall save forever to aquire!

We're Moving!

As you may have noticed, have not been blogging much. Not that many thoughts, ideas and a ton of inspiration is not swimming around in my head but....
We are moving!
Now that the girls are 10 weeks old and our family of seven has more then outgrown our current space, we are thrilled to have found a new place to call home. Moving just a mile away, but the purging, prepping and packing has been all consuming. In addition to the physical move, so many transformative thoughts and plans that we've been working through.

So , stay tuned, missing the blogging world, but eager to get our family and home set up.

Will be back by month's end. Can't wait. So much to share.

PS Love these letterpress announcements from simple song. Still treasuring the holiday cards and gift tags that we got from her!

Gathering Places

Came across this beautiful barn/dining area on Skona Hem.
Everything about this image says relax and gather round...love the comfort and ease of such a spot in the home for nightly family dinners and casual moments with friends.

p.s. Wouldn't it be glorious to have a big old barn to hang out in?

House Love

Loved reading the June issue of Elle Decor and almost died when I saw Rita Shrager's home.. love everything about it. The playhouse and pool are pretty fab as well.

Enjoy!

Who Knew? Urban Outfitters furniture

Doing a little blog reading this weekend, and thanks to Jen of the fab Made by Girl, I discovered that Urban Outfitters has some pretty amazing furniture. I immediately fell in love with these chairs. Hmm, perhaps when we move I can find a spot for these.

Ok, our friends at Madsen are having an amazing giveaway....I am dying to win this stylish bike. Can totally see us cycling aroud town and heading to the farmers market each weekend. Check it out!!
