I can't remember what instagram rabbit hole led me to<a href="http://brooklyntowest.blogspot.com/"> ariele alasko,</a> but i'm thankful i've found her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is an artist and woodworker in Brooklyn who uses old lath to build beautiful art and furniture. Her workspace and home are so inspiring to me, a peaceful tapestry of earthy colors and antique textures. i would love to one day own one of her pieces. </div>

I found this project by Richard Renaldi to be breathtakingly beautiful and thought provoking. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Richard Renaldi cajoles complete strangers to pose together in an intimate way. (the video is short and worth watching).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mr. Renaldi Has been working on his portraits series since 2007, and one of his goals is to encourage people to think past the divisions of ethnicity, religion and socioeconomics that often go unexamined in urban life. "for a lot of people, its an exercise for them to be able to push their own comfort level" He said. The result is beautiful. </div>

Sometimes I see a photo of myself and think, "is that really what i look like? " or i'll see a way that Steve and I are posed and think, " that looks really awkward, we must have been really nervous."<br />
<br />
These wonderful family photographs by<a href="http://amymessenger.com/"> Amy Messenger </a>and <a href="http://chrismessengerphoto.com/">Christopher Messenger</a> feel like one beautiful day in my <i>real</i> life. when i saw the first photo of my hand grazing asher's head, i thought, "oh, i do that a hundred times a day." it conjures up a <i>feeling</i> in me; one that i hope i remember when my boy is 21 years old, and his head towers above my own. I can look at that photo and remember what it was like to reach down and caress those tight little curls.<br />
<br />
these photographs represent things i know deep inside me; asher snuggling his chin into my shoulder, steve and i burying asher in a hug, watching airplanes together, discovering treasures in the grass.<br />
<br />
i am so thankful for photographers who can make you feel so at ease and capture a simple few hours at the park in such a breathtaking way.<br />

I found a don freedman weaving at an antique mall before i knew what a "don freedman" was, and i didn't' buy it. i just took a picture of it, so i could fall in love with it and lament later. it will always be the one that got away....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
anywho, I have become quite taken with these woven textile wall hangings. These three are by Freedman, as well. I love the natural colors, and the textures that he created. they just feel so organic to me. I think they are stunning. What do you think? do you know anyone who does work like this today? What's your "one that got away" that you wish you would have snapped up? </div>

so you know how i'm always saying you can totally find dresses similar to anthropologie dress on etsy?... well, this time i didn't. i totally succumbed to the loveliness of this dress and just bought it from anthro. it was everything i was looking for in a summer dress. its super comfy, it hides the stuff about my body i hate, and it has neat embroidery.<br />
but at least i wore vintage shoes!<br />
we vintage sellers sometimes feel guilty when we buy "new" clothing. isn't that weird?<br />
i thrifted these shoes and they are the most comfortable sandals ever. plus they are perfect mom sandals because let's be honest, my toes haven't been painted in like 6 months.<br />
<br />
Asher learned to walk and i'm enjoying it immensely. holding his hand and walking together is one of my favorite feelings i've experienced. He loves being outside and i secretly think he wants to just live outside. he cries almost every time we have to come in. i think its going to be a lovely summer.<br />

one day this guy ^ comes home from San Francisco and says, "Hey! i had these amazing brussel sprouts at a sushi place and i want to try to make them for you. " </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and i'm all like, " Hey! are you sure you don't want to make your caramel corn instead? " </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and then he made me like brussel sprouts more than caramel corn. with this recipe...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they're really wonderful and now I beg for him to make them every night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
1. wash the sprouts, dry on a paper towel so they don't have secret pockets of water that pop and burn your face off.<br />
<br />
<br />
2. slice off the bottom nubbins , then if they are smaller brussels sprouts just halve them, if a bit larger, i quarter them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
2. Fry in half an inch of oil in a cast iron skillet until a little brown and crispy on the outside and tender in the middle, but not too tender. i think steve uses canola oil.<br />

<br />
3. make a mixture of 2/5 lime juice and 3/5 soy sauce. (so juice a lime, then add that much and a little more of soy sauce)<br />
<br />
4. put the yummy sauce on the brussel sprouts. (we just put the sauce on our own helpings so that you can ration it to your taste, instead of dumping the sauce all over them in the bowl.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #57585d; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">I've just discovered Ossie. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #57585d; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">It all started when I found a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/129182078/vintage-1960s-coat-ossie-clark-for?ref=shop_home_active">brown velvet coat</a> at our local vintage market and started researching the label. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #57585d; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Ossie Clark was a leading designer in London in the 1960s, a very exciting and magical time for fashion in London. He became known for his airy Romantic garments. He was inspired by the past (especially the 30's and 40's) but always made the designs uniquely his own. He often collaborated with his wife, Celia Birtwell, who was a talented textile designer. I love this quote from Anna Sui about his designs, "He dressed the woman we all wanted to be: the rock star's girlfriend." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">His Clothing is now very rare and highly collectible. </span></div>

the <a href="http://www.adoredvintage.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_65&products_id=928">Dress</a> on the left, is from the beautiful shop, <a href="http://www.adoredvintage.com/">Adored Vintage</a>, whose proprietress is named Rodellee. The one on the right will be listed in my shop later this week.<br />
<br />
when I saw the picture of the Rodellee's Dress on facebook, I squealed and immediately commented, "I have the sister dress! "<br />
<br />
I don't know what thrills me so about finding a match like this. In some strange way, it feels to me as if Rodellee and I are like archeologists working in different places but colleagues. And we have brushed the dust off of two old bones, part of the same body, but somehow separated. Now they are reunited; if only in the sense that they will both find happy homes, instead of being hidden in a musty closet or dilapidating in a warehouse.<br />

When I got to dress my friend <a href="http://greenweddingshoes.com/missouri-handmade-wedding-amy-christopher/">Amy, for her wedding</a> , i realized what a special thing that is; providing the wedding dress for a bride. So I've been curating a small collection of dresses for the shop. I hope you enjoy<br />

<br />
A few weeks ago we traveled to illinois to visit our families. The flooding river pushed us onto roads that we hadn't traveled before and we found ourselves in a a small town called Plymouth, which just happened to have the most delightful antique store.<br />
<br />
Illinois pastures make me peaceful in a way that some people become calm when staring at the ocean, or standing beneath redwoods, or gazing at mountains. I love all those places too, but they do not conjure a feeling of "home."<br />
<br />
Asher nearly got swallowed up whole in all the love from his grandparents, and aunts and uncles and cousins. He reveled in having people cheer for him as he learned to walk. He got to feed a cow, and pet a goat and hold a tiny frog by a pond.<br />
