I'm excited to introduce Cara, of Chewy Tulip, to you. She's a self-proclaimed artist since the age of five, textile designer since college graduation, general merry-maker, letter enthusiast, kind of a weirdo. Read on to find out more about what inspires her, how to...
Happy Thursday, everyone! Life is good, and I've only got a couple pages to show you this week. This one is inspired by one of my favorite scenes in Arrested Development, where Gob finally swallows a key for a future trick. I'm a professional magician, too. In fact,...
The 90's weren't just about awesome music fads. There were also some pretty incredible toys, like Trolls. (I realize that these things were originally made decades ago, but they definitely had a recycled spotlight in the 90's.) I collected them as a kid, and had a...
Have you ever been a part of a floating dance party? They've been going on for a long time. What The Float hosts these events for people who love to have fun. We all downloaded the same tracks to our iPods and phones, and met in the dark on a humid Saturday evening....

Every month, I take you on a tour of the street art in Baltimore. This month, I'm going to share some of the magnificent work I saw in Brooklyn during my trip to New York. I enjoyed Brooklyn much more than Manhattan, as I expected I would, and a big part of that was...
I love all months, but not equally. My love for September will always surpass my feelings for August. I'm so excited for the weather to get cooler, the color schemes to change, and for me to bring my accessory game full force. Not to discount August, though! It was a...
