Travel Turtle

I’m leaving on Friday for a short little trip up to NYC with my husband and one of our friends from Germany. We’ll be staying in Brooklyn, which I’ve never really experienced in the day-time, so that’ll be fun. At least I hope it’s fun. I’ve heard people are really fond of Brooklyn these days. [...]

I was reading one of my favorite travel blogs, intelligent travel. Their post about the endangered Piping Plover on NC’s Outer Banks was accompanied by a picture that was so gorgeous. I followed their photo link to the flickr account belonging to William Dalton. Here are some of my favorites:

I have a lot of journals, but for now I’m going to post one I made between late 2001 and early 2002. It was inspired by the journals of Dan Eldon. Before I write about my journal, I have to write a little about Dan Eldon.
There’s a lot to say and I will try [...]

I’ve been inspired recently to create an inspiration board of what I want my future home to look like. I’ve created a new page on this site called “changing shells” which is where I put some of my favorite finds on the web. Check it out, the link’s on the left hand column.

I’m currently reading the book A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian. Have you read it? It’s by Marina Lewycka.

BlissByHeather’s Bella Wallet in Navy Blossoms is another beautiful addition to any purse. And it’s beautiful out of the purse as well. I love the Japanese fabric. It has a lot of nooks and crannies: 6 pockets for credit cards, a zippered pouch for change, a place for cash, and a place for the checkbook [...]

Today, I’m going to start by showcasing BlissByHeather’s beautiful wristlet, The Modern Patchwork Wristlet Purse (Camera or Gadget Case) in Pretty Pinks. I love the color combination and I wish I had the courage to mix fabrics the way she does. I think the wristlet, as suggested, makes a great camera or gadget case. I’ve [...]

First, yesterday I interviewed Bliss By Heather and this whole week I will start each post showcasing some of my favorite items from Heather. It’s hard for me to pick out only one item, but I do love this bag. It’s called The BlissByHeather purse in Light Bright. I love the colors and the [...]
