Before painting our kitchen took over my life, I got pretty lucky in the vintage finds department. Between thrift stores and flea markets, I was bringing home some treasures. Which I’m sure means I’ll soon have a dry spell where I can’t find anything good. Because that’s just how it works–it can’t be all treasures all the time […]
5 DIY Hammock Ideas
Lately I’ve been into the idea of putting up a backyard hammock. My parents had a big rope hammock when I was growing up (actually, they still have it), which they used to hang up between two old trees every summer. Then my three siblings and I would take turns holding on for dear life while the […]
Outfit Post: Stripes and Flowers and Scars
It’s been a long time since my last outfit post. And I don’t have a great excuse. The simplest reason is that I haven’t felt like doing one. I haven’t been inspired by my wardrobe, and I’ve been wearing the same thing a lot. This means jeans and a t-shirt, which is pretty boring, but […]

Thankful
Last Friday I reached a big personal milestone: I started walking again! Since my accident over 10 weeks ago now, I hadn’t taken a single step. Quick recap: I couldn’t bear weight on my left leg until my broken pelvis had healed enough to withstand the forces of walking. Weirdly, out of all of my injuries, […]
Outfit Post: Crutches
Any day now Vogue is going to declare what I already know: This season’s hottest accessory is a pair of crutches. No outfit is complete without them. I’ve been in a wheelchair since I got out of the hospital at the end of September, and I was actually really looking forward to graduating to crutches. […]
Lost Time
Hello friends. Have you been wondering why I went totally MIA for the past week? So am I, to some extent. I know the general overarching reason: Last Sunday morning while on my Vespa my husband and I collided with a car that ran a red light. I literally have no memory of these events, […]
