Shelf life
You’ll have to excuse the grainy photos—snapping pictures in the basement is never ideal. But this shelf sure is—last week the Tailor built me an enormous inventory storage system, and over the weekend I finally organized my entire stock of stationery. It’s hard to see the scale here, but this monster is about 8 x…

Through the front door
Settling back into things after returning from a holiday trip, and thinking of everything I’d like 2015 to hold. Seems appropriate that today is Epiphany. (Bonus for the day: it’s so balmy I can have my tea on the porch.) Welcome, new year. Welcome, welcome.

Their favorite time of year
To me this season is not about a certain day, or even a series of holidays—it’s a collection of moments. It’s those moments that I cherish above anything else—especially when they happen with the people I love best, in this part of the world I call home. I hope your season, however you might celebrate…

Starting with the corners
Slowly but surely, this place is beginning to look like home. Good thing, because the days are absolutely flying by, the weeks passing me in a blur of time. Neither the Tailor nor I could really take any time off from work for our move, so we can only settle in a little at a…

Home sweet home
In a season full of big events, tomorrow is the biggest day of all, because that’s when the Tailor and I move into our new home. I can’t tell you how excited I am about this—we’ve been saving for years and looking for months, and we finally found the house (and studio!) that is absolutely…

Full house
This weekend was the biggest and best Studio Tour yet—and I even remembered to take pictures! Well, sort of, anyway. I managed to document my space for the last time, but then chaos took over. It’s a good thing I bought just about every last organic jellybean in the city of Tacoma, because we needed…

Last hurrah
I know I’ve been a little quiet online lately, but it’s certainly not quiet around my house. This is the state of things right now—at least in the back half of the house. The Tailor and I are moving to a new house/studio in just over a week (still in Tacoma! Just a couple of…

Quelle surprise!
Hey, everyone—Gilles is back! He’s here for Thanksgiving, but that meal’s not until tomorrow—so what do you think our favorite Frenchman would choose to serve up for lunch? Fresh, raw, Pacific Northwest oysters, of course. But I’d better stop blogging and get back to the table—before he eats them all!

A toast
“It doesn’t matter whether you’re black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich or poor, abled, disabled, gay or straight. You can make it here in America if you’re willing to try.” — President Obama, 6 November 2012 There’s a lot of work ahead, and not every…

Pass me a plateful, I’ll be grateful
You know what might just be the best thing about fall? It’s pumpkin pie season again!
