saturday

today early morning a friend and i headed to boston just as the fog was breaking. we made our way to tatte's bakery ( will surely become an addiction) in brookline then walked all over the city. there was so much going on a little bit of everything to tell you the truth. Got home to the quietness and the stillness that is needed after such a full morning. when i come home and am greeted by my dogs who have not eaten any of my shoes or books( sophie is like her mama she like's both very much) well when i am greeted with such a reception by them i feel like a rock start in my own living room.

p.s. speaking of rock stars guess who i will be seing in a few weeks with my sister in montreal! i will be thinking of alll of you as i listen to them sing the winner( i hope they sing it)

delicate things

it has been raining here for days.. weeks, perhaps
a few days in between of pure sunshine. my grass is long enough to braid and my colorful accessories are my variety of wellies! I also have been finding myself watching (okay obsessing) Rome the fall of the roman empire reenactments, so much betrayal and blood shed. oh the male ego dangerous thing! but back to the rain all though i am sure most people have had enough, when i finally lay my head on the pillow i have to say listening to the natural symphony that the rain plays is very beautiful.

Tatte and conversation

last friday i posted that i was headed to meet a famous party chef, stylist and photographer and some of you guessed it was aran from canelle and vanille and you were right. I met Aran as she patiently waited for me on a bench in brookline. I have to tell you that she is lovely a glow to her that would be hard to describe. we walked on newbury street ate at a tapas( i realize now how silly a suggestion that must have been) but i enjoyed it. Her friend ariana joined us as we made our way to Tatte bakery. I came across tate bakery while visiting simplsongs blog and have been wanting to make my way there for a while now. How great that my first experience would be with aran, our cameras came out as we all took pictures of this beautiful bakery( just my style) then we each pointed to something delicious and continued our conversation about many things while we sipped our prepared drinks and nibbled on our treats. The night ended as ariana and i hopped the trolly then jumped into a cab realizing that we had only minutes to make ariana's ride back to ny -we ran to the station out of breath we made it and just like that the day came to a close. It was very nice meeting you both and aran is as wonderful as you would imagine her to be.

viva la couleur!

k, the dogs and i are off to the cape for the day! hope to get sand under my feet while wetting my toes just a little bit! have a great day everyone!


oh look here hope to fill it's pages soon!

she found things not as she left them

thank you all for your kind comments! it is great being in the studio. I used the flood to my advantage in this shoot. broken glass, things turned on their side. How is everyone, tell me the one thing you want to fix, change..

when it begins

I have had a wonderful weekend hope you did too. so much to tell you about! i am writing this post from my studio and after a fun shoot. my camera was giving me trouble so i used one that was a little unfamaliar to me. my model and friend sheila is lovely and gracious. i feel as the seed of ideas begins to bloom in this place.

if you do not mind i would like to post more of this shoot at a later time.

le studio (Giveaway)

a confession. january first ten thousand gallons of water flooded my studio, sprinkler system froze. I had not been to my studio in month. somehow i had trouble finding the motivation to go. i was stuck. i have been stuck for a long time. when it happened i felt bad for the tenants below me. i thought i deserved what had happened for not using this space. I have done that a lot in my life.

the last few days i have spent many hours cleaning it. i remember all those plans i had made for this space. it is lovely, it truly is. i am lucky to have it, but sometimes i think that the space is unlucky to have me as a tenant. i would like to change that, make it, make k and make me proud of it. pictures are taken yesterday while trying to clean it. i lost my red piano, it got soaked, it plays sad notes, one-day i believe it will live again.
