welcome home →  July 28, 2010 14

The thing about going away is that when you walk into your house after ONE MILLION HOURS of traveling, it’s like you’ve cuddled into the lap of the biggest mama ever. If you’re lucky. And I am super lucky, because I have a dreamy house and dreamy boy and dreamy cat to come back to. [...]

This is Dori! She is a witch. A little witch! Dori recently moved from San Francisco to New England – her blog from her new house is perfection – whitewashed walls, wide plank floors, spiral gardens – & bears in the backyard!? She is a spiritual counselor, magic apothecarian (that’s not a word) & I can’t [...]

strawbale house tour →  June 10, 2010 16

Remember Jim & Myra’s wedding? Well, besides having a gorgeous wedding, they have a gorgeous house and new baby! Jim has spent years building all this from scratch, and it’s still a work in progress. Hand hewn beams, strawbale, stained glass windows. This is the front door into the big, airy, warm kitchen. It’s one of [...]

little house in the big woods →  June 8, 2010 17

2 weeks in the tiny cabin! The longest stay yet and it was perfection. I’m pretty sure I could live there for a whole summer no problem — all I really need next is a wood fired hot tub! We didn’t get as much done as we wanted, as usual – but left my brother [...]

No, really! My mama was here for a quick visit, bringing up some things from my grandparent’s house before it is sold. So we cleaned the clean that can only occur on a bright fresh spring day when one’s mother is coming to one’s house for the first time in 12 years!!! (She doesn’t like [...]

secret garden →  March 9, 2010 21

We’ve been spending every weekend in the courtyard garden, sprawled out on quilts in the patches of sun that last from early morning to late afternoon. There’s a routine, lazy mornings making coffee, walking in a loop around the neighborhood procuring breakfast, stopping at the used book shop, poking around one of the many nurseries [...]

Hope everyone’s holidays were wonderful – I’ve spent mine healing and being cozy! I seriously think all the well-wishes and magic energies are helping me – I’m healing so so much faster and can walk around, etc – last time I had a similar surgery, it was weeks before walking easily & feeling weak in [...]

Come in, come in!!  In the midst of all the loss and curious nonsense of life, I’ve been focusing on the holidays & making life as cozy in the chaos as possible. Hexmas shopping with Kate (who has some really sweet cards in her shop – maybe you need thank you notes for all those [...]

wee hoos →  November 28, 2009 21

It’s been a rough few weeks – I’ve written about it in more secret places, but on the 16th of November, Janna, my therapist / magic-spirit-mama / life guide (of 7 years now) took her own life. It’s been one of the most profound losses I’ve experienced, unbelievable in it’s finality. I’m trying to just [...]

what i did on my summer vacation →  July 7, 2009 29

I’m heading back to California today after 3 weeks in Vermont!! It’s been a whirlwind and there are one million projects and activities I didn’t get around to do – but my main goal was to work on my little cabin in the woods. I have a lot of ideas for the land I have [...]
