9. Love the French bun/top knot trend? Here‘s the fastest how-to video EVER!
8. What a lovely doodle!
7. Hey thanks, DESIGN LOVE FEST, I think that salad looks pretty darn tasty, too!
6. While I’m caught up in this quote thing, here’s one from Etiquette for a Lady. Why thanks, madam! I’m feeling inspired already!
5. I know there aren’t too many gentlemen reading my blog these days, but here’s some great advice–”You should date a girl who reads.” Beautifully written by Rosemarie Urquico, in response to Charles Wamke’s “You Should Date an Illiterate Girl.” I want to be this elusive girl who reads. Don’t get me wrong, I do read. Not enough, probably. But I enjoy it and I appreciate the craft. And I happen to love clothes, too.
SERIOUSLY. I know half of you just skipped that link. But don’t.
4. Kathryn Bentley Jewelry. Mosey on over and drool all over your keyboard, and into your empty wallets.
3. Amazing home decor DiY: The Light Bulb Vase. Maybe Jen and I will make some for our new apartment? You know, in our free time.
2. HEY, HEY Alyssa Rae! Why you so QT? Go follow her Tumblr and/or Lookbook!
1. By the time this post makes it up, I will be in a completely different state of mind. That’s what scheduling does for ya! But hey, on the bright side, my posts have been a little more consistent, eh?
#6 – I’m remembering this love, I’m taking this quote to Ghana with me – I believe it after all, just sometimes need a reminder! Thank you x
You linked #5 just for meeeeeeee … and I thank you. As I have again fallen in love with reading of late, I certainly hope to fall in love with a woman who reads, even when she tells me that a favorite book of mine is wrong—because, through her, I will have read it with new eyes. Books, as music, should be the beginning of the conversation. It’s about story, how we interleave those we love and those we find into the fabric we have—fabric that we may rend as needed to make new garments and weave in new bits. [Thus ends my discussion of fabrics; I will leave the overwrought metaphor to you to do as you see fit.]
Fall in love with a woman who reads because she is a woman who thinks, and that mind is what you’ll spend the rest of your natural life loving and knowing.
[That last Old Fashioned may have left me a touch rhapsodic. Also, I finally found a bartender who makes a good one.]
