“It’s never too late to live happily ever after.†~ unknown Lauren and Rory’s wedding was in a perfect setting, on a glorious day, with a wonderful gathering of kindred spirits. The betrothed hand made decorations, borrowed linens, and collected hand-me-down mason jars to use as drinking vessels. Meanwhile, numerous friends pitched in for all […]

I’m going out of order since summer life is just full of fun-ness, but here are some scenes from Evanston’s Ethnic Arts Fair July 21 and 22. It was a gorgeous day. Ten Thousand Ripples is an appropriate piece for the fair’s theme. I loved picking up inspiration,  absorbing colors and feeling like I’m […]
I came across some shedding birch trees on my Sunday stroll and was amused. This reminds me of The Point. Squirrels were cooling off as much as they could. Â Flowers are blooming in abundance. Happy Friday to you.

“I collect new books the way my friends buy designer handbags. Sometimes, I just like to know I have them and actually reading them is beside the point. … The mere act of buying them makes me happy– the world is more promising, more fulfilling.” ~ Dora in Literacy and Longing in LA This coming […]

Upon entering I was greeted with signs promising Krazy Fireworks and Showgirls, along with Hoosier references. Further in, however, the scenery changed […]
I’ve followed Megan Hunt since she appeared to me as Princess Lasertron in Where Women Create Magazine in 2009. Since then, it’s been a pleasure to be inspired by her business ventures and to get to know her. Her December Radvent is a fantastic blogging challenge that helps me grow. When she and her friend […]
I grill, therefore I am. ~ Alton Brown The Chillin’ and Grillin’ continues as more barbecues entered my calendar this past week. It’s been nice to go out and meet new people while being cooked for by manly men (even when the women start the grill, the men have a way to gravitate toward it). On […]
Before my Cruise Night excursion (every Wednesday in Lemont through August), I revisited Waterfall Glen to explore the trail further. Last time I only had 20 minutes, which wasn’t long enough to experience this Prairie Gem just an hour from Chicago. So I decided to take 3 hours before my appointment at Aurora Rose to […]
I started posting pendants of the day to my personal Facebook page, which seems to be resonating with my friends. So I’m contemplating shifting that over to the fan page to see if a pendant of the day/week is something people like to see. Clockwise: Seashells in the Waves, Raffia Square, Wrapped Boomerang and Womanly […]
