this weekend has been jam-packed with activity. i guess the nice weather does that to me- i want to take advantage of ever moment of it. after last week’s heat wave, the lovely 70something degree weekend energized and motivated me.

i spent friday night in the studio working on a new project- finally! my prototype is done, but i’m not ready to unviel it yet. i will say that it involves old slide film and some sterling silver. have you heard of www.what-you-make-it.com? a great new online zine. i’m going to document my creative process in the making of this new piece and submit it for the next issues of the zine. wish me luck!
also, i’m back into the gym habit. i’m trying to find different ways to keep it interesting (so as not be a gym dropout yet AGAIN). from group classes, to watching sitcoms while on the elliptical, to listening to wild 150bpm workout podcasts and pretending i’m a heroine in some video game! (the latter proves to be the most fun).

have you ever made tea from fresh cut mint? it is astonishingly delicious. a tad of honey and a lot of ice and . . . yum

i have a serious magazine fetish. it’s always so exciting to see artists that we represent at imogene on the glossy pages. have you seen dwell this month? if not, i would turn to page 70 if i were you . . .

currently reading: the stranger by albert camus

currently listening to on repeat: death cab for cutie, summer skin

more to come soon . . .

p.s. don’t forget to check out “friends” over to the right ————->

uh-oh. it looks like we’ve lost some posts here due to a computer malfunction. oh well!

i’ve been a slacker on the blogging lately (the desk job has taken its toll), but, i swear, from this day forward that i will make an effort to post at least once a week. cross my heart.

i wanted to give a shout out to all the fabulous fans out there. we’ve been featured in some great shopping blogs including:

juniper designs

and

lucky seeks love

as the temperature reaches 102 this week in baltimore, i will be trying my hardest to photograph some much overdue new items; i have two words for you: underpants & kimonos.

favorite new activity: listening to KEXP streaming radio on the sly at the aforementioned desk job

favorite new book: a gift from the lovely melissa noonan: Crap Hound #5: hands, hearts, eyes
