I can’t remember how I first came across Little Brown Pen, the blog of Nicole Robertson, but I remember spending a few hours reading through her archives over multiple cups of coffee. Not a bad way to spend a morning! Nicole’s writing is so witty that I pretty much always end up laughing at the [...]
I spent my undergrad years in a small town in Southern Illinois surrounded by corn fields and a wonderful artsy, musicy community. St. Louis was a 45 minute drive west through rural prairies and across the muddy Mississippi and we went there all the time. I love St. Louis and I consider it my adopted [...]
Hey! My name is Lauren of Blooming Leopold. I met the lovely Jessica through Greenville College, where we both went to school and shared some good classes. And today, I’m introducing you to the best parts of my current hometown…Nashville.
I just realized I never showed you any photos from our crazy whirlwind/awesome road trip we took a few weeks ago! We left Chicago at 2am last saturday and drove through the city. It was funny to see it without its usual traffic. The sun came up in Indiana and we got to Cleveland around [...]
Hello, how are you all? My name is Harry and I blog sporadically at Itsonlyablog. I had the privilege of staying with Jessica and her husband Joel (and Cors of course!), when I visited the US in 2008. I live in a town of about 40,000 called Yeovil, in Somerset, England. There isn’t a whole [...]
We left Chicago Saturday morning at 2am-I know we are crazy people! But it actually made the drive go by quickly and the sunrise in Indian was so very pretty. All that to say my weekend project have all been done in a moving vehicle, but if I had had the time I would have [...]
Hi! I hope you’re weekend is off to a wonderful start! I’m just taking a little break from packing/playing Beatles Rock band with our travel companions. We’re leaving for a long road trip in just a few hours, excited! We’re driving to Cleveland to have brunch with my pretty friend Lauren and then on to [...]
Hello! My name is Liz, and I have a blog called See Liz Run. Jessica and I met in college, and it has been so fun to see her develop her creativity through photography, design, and knitting. Naturally, I was thrilled when she invited me to write a post about my hometown. I am relatively [...]
Hello! My name is Anabela and I blog at Fieldguided. Thank you, Jessica, for letting me indulge in a dream day in my city. I was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and I haven’t lived anywhere else. It’s the perfect size for a city: big enough that you can feel a little anonymous, but small [...]
Hello! My name is Kara. I have a blog called I Just Might Explode and I am so flattered that Jessica asked me to guest post for her oh-so-lovely blog. :) I have lived in Boise, Idaho since I was 9 months old. There is much more this pretty valley beyond Napoleon Dynamite and potatoes(I’ve [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
