Butterfly in a Jar

Posted by Amanda (wit & whistle) on February 10th, 2011 under Personal Tags: , , , , , ,  •  6 Comments

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 [...]

Mapping It Out

Posted by Amanda (wit & whistle) on February 9th, 2011 under Wit & Whistle Tags: , , , ,  •  25 Comments

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 flipped through the latest J.Crew lookbook and thought this outfit was great, but not great enough to cost a whopping $556. So, I rummaged around the internet for a while and came up with a look-alike ensemble for only $126.85. In your face J.Crew! tank from J.Crew $68.00 jeans from J.Crew $115.00 blazer from [...]

Rue Magazine

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 [...]

Pillow Case Pizzaz

Posted by Amanda (wit & whistle) on February 2nd, 2011 under Home + Garden Tags: , , , , ,  •  1 Comment

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 [...]

Color Phases

Posted by Amanda (wit & whistle) on February 1st, 2011 under Shop Tags: , , , , , ,  •  5 Comments

Do you go through color phases? I do. Never ask what my favorite color is. It’s too confusing. In high school I wanted everything to be blue. My walls were blue, my bedding was blue, and even my wardrobe was blue. In college I was just a mess (come on, there’s only so much you can [...]
