Saturday night we watched a movie. That doesn’t sound all that exciting, but what I mean is that we sat on the couch with the pup and some snacks and just watched a movie. None was hunched over her sewing machine. None was typing feverishly at his thesis. It was wonderful. We watched Submarine, a movie [...]
Saturday evening we were feeling accomplished after putting in a nice long day finishing up projects and getting the house back in shape after our CA trip. And so we met up with friends at the movies. Nothing like some well-earned popcorn and a night out! We saw Super 8 and I loved it! I [...]
This Saturday I had a little downtime and noticed that No One Knows About Persian Cats is finally available on Netflix. I’ve been wanting to see it for ages so I sat down with my knitting and watched it. Every moment since I’ve been wishing I could run into someone else who has seen it. [...]
I have lots of lovelies to share today so let’s get right to it, starting with photos! One of the great things about Joel’s grad school program is that it’s so bloody interesting (to me)! I steal his textbooks and tag along on homework assignments and sometimes try to make my own versions. This semester [...]
I am a complete sucker for British period dramas. A truly perfect rainy day (for me) might look a little like: morning coffee and Bright Star, an afternoon viewing of Brideshead Revisited, knitting and five hours of Pride & Prejudice, and maybe squeezing in an episode or two of a gorgeous BBC series like Downton [...]
Happy Friday! I am so excited for this weekend! I have lots of fun projects to finish up and share and a good bit of baking and cooking and relaxing to do, too! But there are still a few hours between me and quitin’ time so to pass the time here are two sweet things [...]
I’m changing things up a little today so instead of Music Monday, welcome to Movie Monday! The older I get the more happy I am to embrace the spooky aspects of my favorite month. (October, you’re the best!) I love the pumpkins, ghostly tree branches, and blood-red candied apples. And there’s nothing like snuggling up [...]
This morning I was typing away, composing little emails to answer little questions that were popping up in my work inbox, when my iPod decided to play the Paris Je’taime soundtrack. It’s been ages since I watched that movie! I was instantly transported to a humid summer night with crickets chirping loudly, condensation on cold [...]
Today I’m working on a custom order that’s going to be so cute! And I’ve been watching The Darjeeling Limited, again. I love the colors in this movie! I think it might be my favorite Wes Anderson film, plus it always reminds me of fun times hanging out in St. Louis with friends. Do movies stir memories [...]
Hi again, here’s a little inspiration for your Monday evening. The sky here was such a lovely combination of deep robin’s egg blue and black, I just had to share! I saw this lovely video from the Louis Vuitton Journey Competition on Lily & the Muse. I love the movement of the ink.
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
