paris walk no. 4 – the last day →  August 8, 2010 8

I DON’T WANT TO POST THIS POST!!! It means the trip to Paris will really be over, all like a dream! My last 2 trips out of the country prior to this were in 2003 to London and 2004 to Tokyo – all very fast, very intense trips for work. This trip to Paris has made [...]

mermaid tidepools →  August 1, 2010 9

I am slow on blogging! We drove up to the tidepools in Salt Point National Park last weekend.  We’ve been managing to get some wedding things done, so that’s good, but still so hectic. I swear, all I think about right now is “Do wedding things! List Etsy! Get day job projects done!” I need [...]

paris walk no. 3: left bank →  July 23, 2010 26

I’ve been feeling pretty under the weather, crazy migraines and vision problems to the point where I’m essentially blind all day – I see double and can’t focus past a few feet from my face. Apparently it’s stress, but it’s so stressful to be mostly blind that it’s hard to relax. Hooray. So I’ve been [...]

en plein air →  July 18, 2010 15

Hope everyone had a delightful Sunday! This was my first weekend at home to just rest in ohhhh, over a month? A lot of walking, thrifting, a little Etsy-photo-taking, and watching the new Poirot. We’re like old people around here!! Sometimes it’s just nice to be cozy. Thursday & Friday were spent at Flora & [...]

bonn et bruxelles →  July 14, 2010 21

A little break from Paris, and mostly photos. We took the train to Bonn from Paris for our conference. 1st class seats were only 10 Euro more and included free internet and lunch, so it was a nice 4 hour comfy ride, watching the countryside roll by. I’ve never taken a train in Europe (and had [...]

paris walk no. 2: marais →  July 13, 2010 25

Sick of Paris yet?! But I have so many more images!! Maybe I’ll do a Bonn/Brussels post next to shake it up a little. I haven’t even come close to editing all of them, AND I just realized I never finished writing about this last Vermont trip. LIFE. YOU ARE GOING TOO FAST. Did I [...]

paris walk no. 1: montmartre →  July 10, 2010 11

Our first 2 hotels were in the 9th, so I spent some time wandering the 9th and Montmartre. The Rue des Martyrs is a gluttons dream, with a million gorgeous bakeries, ice cream shops, and restaurants. Perfect for exploring. We stayed in each hotel for 2 days, (sandwiched between Germany and Belgium) and this time was [...]

10 things I learned about paris →  July 8, 2010 41

I work as the Web Strategist for Fair Trade Certified, and every year there’s a meeting in Bonn, Germany, to discuss marketing and communications, to brainstorm, and to meet our colleagues overseas. This is the first time I’ve attended, and my first trip to Paris! We flew in and out of Paris because it was cheaper, [...]

letters from paris →  July 4, 2010 6

I’ll have so so so many actual photos to edit and put up when I return (and i’m shooting some film, even! we’ll see how it turns out) but for now, i’m putting up a few iPhone shots on flickr when I think of it. I was fluctuating toward misery for the first week – running [...]

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 [...]
