It’s been so hot here lately that this stock tank pool looks heavenly. Add one of these, or these hammocks and some frozen treats, and it sounds like the perfect summer backyard setup, doesn’t it? What cute little DIY circle shelves. They look like they’d be great for plants. Get your hair off your neck […]

This week, I made a lot of mistakes, and while they were all potentially avoidable, I was doing what I thought was best at the time! I started to get down about it, and then I realized that unless you never try anything new, you’ll make rookie mistakes. And that’s ok. In fact, screwing up is […]

Happy Friday! Today I’m off to a wedding of good friends in Oakland, California, for the weekend. It’s so nice when your friends and family find the right person to settle down with, isn’t it? I used to be cynical about marriage, but over the years I’ve become much more sentimental about it. Plus, when […]

If you follow my instagram, you already know this, but I recently came home to a nice surprise in my mailbox. I’d been contacted months ago about some of my photos appearing in Idées Déco, a francophone magazine published in Quebec, Canada, and when I pulled a copy of the magazine out of my mail, […]

Funny story: As you might be able to tell from the above photo of my living room (and projects like geode jewelry boxes, framed rock art, mineral tote bags, soap rocks, and many others), I’m a big fan of rocks and crystals. When we were at the Sou’wester over Valentine’s Day, we chatted with a lady in […]
