Valentine's Day

Better late than never right? Brunch at  Spitzer's - an old favorite in the Lower East Side, and then just wandered around the East Village, enjoying a Sunday in the city. 

Tompkins Square Park at dusk:

One of my favorite photographs.

Tulips & Morning Snow

so crazy to wake up this morning & look out the window and find it snowing like crazy. and then by like 2pm it looked as though nothing happened. loving my purple tulips from trader joes!

Snow!

Love these photos from Flickr: The Half-Blooded Prince. 

A perfect Sunday

While yesterday was the rainiest its been since this summer, 

it turned out to be such a lovely day. A college friend was in town so we had brunch 

at Ulysses in the financial District. 

Worked on some design things and then later had dinner with a friend at 

Roebling Tea Room - one of my favorite restaurants in the city. 

Then went for drinks at Hotel Delmano - I've never been but it was 

the most delightful place I've been in ages. Had one too many St. Germain cocktails 

relishing in the beautiful atmosphere.

The Selby

Holy Moly!! After a crazy crazy week at work, I came straight home this freezing 

Friday evening to make dinner & curl up in bed to catch up on my blogs. 

I stumbled upon the blog to end all blogs: the selby Call the car, its over for the rest 

of us. I can't get over how amazing their site & projects are. As described 

on the site: "the selby features photographs, paintings and videos by todd selby of 

interesting people and their creative spaces" Take a peek for yourself.

Budding Photographer

My younger sister Cole is a senior in high school in Savannah, GA and is taking her first photography class. Her prints are gorgeous and I have to brag on her. I love reminiscing about my first photo classes and just the magic of watching a piece of photo paper turn into a velvety print.

Eco Dorm at Warren Wilson

I looked at Warren Wilson back when I was a senior in high school. The community lifestyle really appealed to me but I ended up going to a more traditional academic school that I loved. However, I'll always have a warm spot in my heart for ole Warren Wilson. My new guilty pleasure - the New York Times Home & Garden Section recently featured the new eco-dorm. As always from the Times, the photographs are gorgeous. They truly capture a sense of joy & peace.

hello world

oh hi there. so yeah, i discovered the whole blog world this summer and love 
the daily inspiration i receive. its really helped me see the beautiful in the everyday. 
i've had the idea for some time to start one of my own. when i first had the idea 
for a blog, it was to collaborate with a friend and have less of voice and more provide interesting sites and artists.. well that never blossomed into anything so now i 
want to try again, on my own, my story though photographs, design, recipes, wants, 
and inspiration. really this is more or less an online record for myself, but i'd love to 
share - the more the merrier!


all the best,
macon
