life outside of the city

I am really about to pull my hair out from getting city stir crazy. It's really pretty depressing this time. My passport has even expired. I have been really poor being in design school for the last three years and now on a designer's salary, it doesn't get much easier to splurge on world travel.
Thank heavens to my wonderful friends with a truck - Suzanne and Sam. Whether it's a simple drive up to Greenpoint or a little further, up the Hudson, I love a chance to get outside of normal life with them.
Here is a custom card that Suzanne made me for my birthday. She hand stitches them. I love this card because she made it, and also because it is a testament to our wonderful day at Storm King...






signs of life

If there's ever something missing in a room for color or vibrance, it's usually plants and books.
It is not a coincidence that they are also both indicators of human vitality and natural life in a room.

Positano

I need a vacation. Traveling back to Positano would be nice. The nostalgic feeling I have for this place makes my stomach queezy.
