Off to the Races

I am a lover of craft. Amazing attention to detail on the small stuff is really what I get into. The small tangible things that have an ability to strike a cord are really worth looking into.

Here are some homemade game pieces ... quite beautiful. I can only hope to remain this crafty as life progresses. I've held onto it for quite some time, but I must admit, it can fall by the wayside if not properly watched after.

Midtown Brunch

Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day in the city. I had a morning appointment followed by brunch, followed by some time in the park, vintage shopping and the museum. Talk about a full day!

I'm so excited that the weather has warmed up (not to mention spending the day getting to walk around in it)!

Shower Present


I finally finished my the gift for my sister. Here is a sampling of the baby onsies I made. I decided to bring a little of the Delaware Valley to good old Tennessee for her. It was a fun project and had been quite a while since I got to do something like this!

Doors?


I had to survey some doors at work. Gotta love the scenery, walking campus throughout the day is amazing. Although it is very different than working in the city, being in a walkable environment it what is important to me.
I don't think I could survive working in an office building in the middle of suburbia that was surrounded by a parking lot.

What's Old is New Again



My new fav necklace is created from salvaged materials from the 1930s, including the crystal from a Spanish chandelier.

It is truly unique and I've worn it quite a bit lately.

Vrapple!?!?

Having grown up in the Delaware Valley, I must admit Scrapple was part of the experiance. While I never bought it myself, I was always open to eating it when offered.

Vrapple, however, is AMAZING! It's vegan scrapple and quite delicious. All ingrediants are identifyiable and locally sourced.

Everyone should try this, you can find it at Reading Terminal and Essene.

Resurfacing

She's alive?!?! Well now that I have surfaced, we need to catch up with lost time...there is soooo much going on!
