About D, and not writing songs
By Charlotte, on Tue Sep 23, 2008 1:14pm PDTToday I saw D, who is the most insanely intriguingly attractive man I have ever met, although I can't really say I've properly met him, because it's more like I am vaguely acquainted with him by being in the same place at the same time sometimes and saying hello occasionally, and I found...

Expecting overnight guests? Make their stay more comfortable with bathroom amenities -- a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, and cotton swabs -- presented thoughtfully in a monogrammed glass. Leave it bedside with a personal note. Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (2) | Blog

Serving Dish: Site-seeing: Fishs Eddy
By Melanie and Jen, Redbook Magazine, on Mon Jul 28, 2008 12:04pm PDTOne of my favorite home stores here in New York is Fishs Eddy, and thankfully they sell their reasonably-priced dishes online as well. I love their vintage style milk glasses (and they're just $5 each.) I have a set of milk glasses at home that I use for drinks other than milk because of their size -- perfect for water, lemonade, soda (don't tell my mom I actually rarely drink a straight pint of milk!). The shop has some fun kitschy stuff-- and great deals on dishes and glassware with personality.

Art Appreciation 101: Steal this doorway idea (plus check out an unexpected source for furniture)
By Valerie Rains, Shine staff, on Tue Jul 1, 2008 10:01am PDTPart of the Sculptor's Guild's In-Site art exhibition on New York's Governor's Island, this clay-flower-trimmed doorway (at left) by Julie Tesser reminded me of the exuberance of traditional Mexican paper and corn husk flowers, and made me think maybe I should try doing something similar around one of the angled-corner doorways in my apartment.

What do you think—would you try something like this around one of your doorways? It seems like a nice, affordable way to bring some summery cheer into your home. (Can't believe I just said "bring summery cheer into your home," but it's too late to turn back now.) Anyway, as I was clicking around the web trying to find examples of those Mexican flowers in action, I got sucked into paging through the DirectFromMexico web site, and found a lot great handmade stuff there. Pine chests, metal art, pottery, mirrors, and glassware make up the bulk of the offerings; sadly, though, they don't carry textiles—one of my favorite things to buy and rotate through my home throughout the year. Prices seem fair overall (although some items carry an order minimum that doesn't quite make sense—do you really need more than one identical mesh beach bag at a time?), and shipping is free in the U.S. Check out a few of my picks below.

The whole geek chic thing is back—glasses are cool
By shefinds, on Thu May 1, 2008 1:10pm PDT
According to the Wall Street Journal,
wearing glasses is cool again. Now, if I were one who had to wear them
full-time I would be somewhat offended by this latest fad. Last I
checked, wasn't visual impairment a disability? So therefore, isn't
wearing glasses when you don't need... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (16) | Blog
