Charleston, you make me happy

But wine doesn't hurt either...

My first 2010 Christmas decoration!

First, tiniest, sweetest...the perfect holiday trifecta.

Merry Christmas to moi!

It's beginning to look a lot like amateur hour

Good news for Bella Swan, I suppose

Not to get all Mr. Wizard over here, but I came back to my office space today after a week working from home and my roses from December 1 are looking almost as alive as they did 14 days ago: the same roses that died after 5 days in my cozy apartment. Maybe vampires have it right after all!

The good, the great and the really expensive from NYC this weekend

The good:
-Art Nouveau typography on one of my old stomping ground streets. I suppose I was always too focused on Paper Presentation to ever look up.
-Apartment 48 and their innovative sign-hanging techniques. If only there was a little bird perched on that branch...

The great:
-Italian cookies (as always) and miniature black and whites!
-The BUST magazine craft fair that my friend and I stumbled into, and the best. company. name. ever.

The really expensive:
-$18 Baked Alaska at DBGB... ironically a similar hue as the $1.00 rainbow cookie from Brooklyn. Daniel Boulud, I'm onto your inspiration.

A great trip and amazingly warmer than the Southern weather that I returned home to.

Feeling really cool today at work.

I mean, literally. It's 60 degrees. For anyone I'm doing work for today, know that I'm REALLY putting my heart into it. Otherwise, I would be sitting at home in my 72 degree apartment.
