We finally made it onto Jerry Yoon's Blog, yo!

Did you forget I had a real humdinger beauty of a wedding? Shiz is real. See more at www.blogjerry.com.

This is Rude.

So, I have been giving myself a little blogging vacay, trying to get registered for some classes with our fave friend TroveCove (formerly known as GRE BM), in some way hoping that using my brain on the regular jump starts an academic renaissance in my life. In other exciting school news, Sissy has started classes and that has been great and on the casa front we are researching new appliances for updating our SF kitchen. Hence, the vacay from blogging until like Stats told me, I have developed something else relevant or new to say, "like political or more commentary" or something.

But something so scary has jolted me back into Bloglandia, where I must share this with you. You know that I just love me some Martha and that usually I defer to her in all things decor, but this might just stop me forever.



What is this?!

Happy New Year! 2010, You have been a long time comin'.

I have eagerly awaited the beginning of a new year! 2009 was HARD, y'all! Although we got married (or maybe because of getting married), many parts of our lives were stressful and I especially am so happy that I can now focus on something besides the wedding. Like maybe, my marriage? I am working on a list of resolutions, any suggestions?

I am not the only one feeling the GOLD this month.

Take a saunter over to I Suwannee, where you will be presented with a "Solid Gold Gift Guide". All of these gifts are things I would accept for my birthday which is in about 17 days.



How much do you love the number 3 Golden Driving Mocs from J Crew?

We are baaaack! SF, I missed you.

After stopping in Miami for the beginning of Art Basel and then continuing on to Medellin, Colombia for family time we are BEAT! So many things to say, but mostly the best part of any vacation is seeing new things, sharing new experiences and then being infinitely grateful to come home to our corner of the world.




Coming soon, a list of things that I am grateful for. You would think that would have happened around Thanksgiving but it really take a visit to a third world country to get your Gratitude Meter in gear. How much do you love toilet paper??!

Piratey Wedding!

While we are honeymooning please feel free to peek at these photos from a woman who really took her penchant for Pirates to the next level. As you may recall I was married on Talk like a Pirate Day (September 19th) and we rocked an informal Pirate Hotel Suite for our after party that the BM's graciously decorated. Now, I wish we had sort of pirated out the whole wedding. After all you Must appreciate that kind of commitment. I, for one, am thoroughly jealous.

Golden Birthday List!

This isn't even something that I have coveted for the last few weeks, please believe that this is a life time kind of desire. I love the idea of art that you live with, and I am really taken with domestic art, art that is created most commonly by women and that hasn't always been given much credence in the established art world. Things that you could use in your home and yet infuse with your own sensibility and point of view makes me content. And so I would LOVE a quilt for my birthday, but it doesn't have to be for the golden birthday. My darling gf has given us a lovely card as our wedding gift in which she promises to make us a quilt as our gift. Here are a few that she sent me over as inspiration ideas.

Spring Rain


Iced Coffee


Color Conspiracy.


Library Books.


Chorus Line.

I love that they are not the same little house on the prairie version that you see everywhere, I imagine that they are true reflections of modern and interesting women creating their own visions in this medium. I love them all, which is your favorite?
