What did you collect when you were a child? Barbies? Rocks? Matchbox cars? I collected creatures in jars. My jar collections included tadpoles, frogs, toads, crayfish, minnows, fireflies, spiders, caterpillars, butterflies, praying mantises, and lady bugs. Once a lizard narrowly escaped me but left behind his tail. It wiggled for 3 days in its jar before [...]

I’m delighted every time I ship my products to places I’ve never been, because it’s like sending a piece of myself out to travel the world. To record my “travels” I got a metallic silver map, a bunch of map tacks, and a cork board. I pinned the map to the board, and marked each state, province, or [...]

I think all magazines should be offered digitally. Then I’d have no more stacks of old magazines to recycle, no piles of torn out pages I want to keep, and best of all they’re free (at least the ones I’ve seen are). I kept hearing about Rue Magazine, so I finally took a look. It’s [...]

Our bed needed some pizzaz. It’s hard to add pizzaz when your husband has vetoed the purchase of new throw pillows, but I’ve gotten around that problem before, so I knew I could do it again. I love the patterned sheets at West Elm, but the sets are expensive, and the thread count isn’t nearly [...]
