I know I’ve gone on and on about how much I love rhubarb, but this week I’ve got proof, in the form of two different rhubarb recipes. The first is this rhubarb liqueur. It was actually inspired by one you can buy, called Rhubarb Tea. I say “inspired by,” but what I really mean is […]

This floral crown is super pretty, and it would be perfect for summer music festivals. I also like this lavender version, and this wrist version. This suspended wood and leather shelf is really clever. If you were a fan of The Princess Bride as a kid, this free printable eye chart might be right up […]
10 Things to do This Summer
Though it doesn’t feel like it around here, tomorrow is the first day of summer. I’ve been keeping a mental list of things I want to do this year while the weather is nice, and in honor of the beginning of the season, I thought I’d share some ideas. 1. Visit a local amusement park […]
Outfit Post: Mood Swings
When I went outside to take outfit photos the weather looked fine. Two minutes later it started pouring so hard I gave up and went back inside. Then the sun came out and it looked like the rain had stopped, so I tried again, and got this. You might also note that I’m wearing boots […]

My Handmade Travel Bag
After my most recent trip, I realized that I needed a better travel bag. Since I’m flying down to California this weekend for my sister’s wedding, I decided to whip one up. I thought it would only take a couple of hours to design and sew a large, fully-lined bag. This was a vast underestimate. […]
DIY Jello Mold to Plant Pot
For the longest time, I thought that those thin metal molds that are common in thrift stores (often in a lobster shape), were cake molds. Turns out that copper doesn’t make a great baking mold, and they’re actually for gelatin. I guess they’re left over from the era when Jell-O concoctions were chic dinner-party side […]
DIY Inspiration: Fancy Friendship Bracelets
Left: Shopbop Center: Anthropologie Right: Nasty Gal When I was a kid I made friendship bracelets, but I never managed to finish any with complicated designs. They seemed to take forever to make. A couple of years ago I made a few, and to my surprise, they didn’t actually take that long. All you’d need […]
