went: little red lighthouse

6/26: 18 miles from carroll gardens to the little red lighthouse, dinosaur bbq for lunch, blueberry beer and some world cup-watching and then 18 miles home. my boo surprised me with a perfect bottle of white wine with a biciclette on the label to round out a perfect day.

soft pretzel, july'10

not sure how i'd use it, but i do know i need it.

4/30: little red lighthouse, june '10

this place exists and i finally went yesterday. an 18 mile bike ride to a secret little lookout was exactly what i needed this weekend.

pictures to come!

will you still love me? june '10

i've been away a while, please don't hate me. life has been so so busy lately and finally this weekend i've had a little time to play catch-up. in an effort to win back your hearts, i give you some lykke:

alice supplies, may.10

now these are some tools i can really get behind

3/30: new bicicleta

happy long weekend! i just crossed a huge 30 before 30 item off my to do list- i bought the beauty you see above. she is lightweight, sleek, smooth and will take me a little further than my trusty schwinn cruiser. i love her. now i just need a name for my new friend.

2/30: handprint a tablecloth and napkins

i bought lena corwin's beautiful "printing by hand" book a few months ago and am finally ready to give it a try. most of the projects involve having a custom rubber stamp or screen made, so i thought i'd ease into it by carving a rubber block stamp and hand printing a tablecloth and matching cloth napkins. the hope is that they'll turn out looking like that blue page above...

wish me luck!

la petite volière, may'10

3 little dreams come true...

1/30: plant an herb garden

this has been on my list for a little while...now its too late in the season to plant baby seedlings so i'm off to the nursery for some mint, thyme, rosemary and sage plants. aka pimm's cups, lemon thyme lemonade, rosemary shortbread and crispy sage leaves. mmm mmmm

30 in a hurry, may.10

i have a pretttty big birthday comin up in approximately 108 days. given that this is my space to share with you my ever expanding to-do list, i thought i'd come up with a high-speed bday version...

30 before 30: places to go and things to see while i'm still in my twenties
