No Comments#Best09 – Best Book
It’s day four in Gwen Bell‘s 2009 Blog Challenge, and already I’m a little stumped. The problem for me with today’s topic is that I read so many good books this year, I can hardly imagine choosing one. But if I have to say, “Read this, it will change your life,” and variables like whether...

No Comments#Best09 – Best Article
I read and bookmarked an outrageous amount of articles this year, so choosing a “best” seems impossible. However, this article about Banksy’s Bristol exhibit definitely tops the list. It provided me with a better understanding of who Banksy is as an artist and his particular style than the other research I had done. Check out...

No Comments#Best09 – Best Restaurant Moment
My favorite restaurant moment of 2009 was meeting another couple while having dinner with Chris at a new-to-us restaurant in the Heights district of Little Rock. The restaurant is called So, and the couple’s names were Skip and Alice. We became instant friends and talked for the next three hours. They insisted we try the...

No CommentsThankful
I realized tonight that I’ve barely posted here four times this month, while I’ve posted some thirty-plus times over at Creative Perch. My energies have been so divided, and I apologize. Chris and I celebrated a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends this past week. We missed being with our families so much and vowed never to...

No CommentsEtsy Shop Update
I added two new vintage Polaroids to my Etsy shop this week, including a lovely, steel Polaroid called “The 800″ that requires roll film and is a beautiful collector’s item, and an Automatic 335 Land Camera that appears to be in working condition. It has film in it, so I tested out a few shots....

1 CommentChange is Gonna Come
We’re finally enjoying a season of beautiful, sunny Fall days here in Central Arkansas. This is my favorite time of year and why I love Fall so much – not the wet season that was October. Oh, so much to share and not sure where to begin… ! The change in seasons is bringing change...

1 CommentFamily Favorites: Apple Butter & Pumpkin Butter
I made apple butter for my family last Thanksgiving, and it was a big hit, especially with my niece. So, I decided to make it again this year. I canned it properly this time, and added labels. I also bought a pie pumpkin from Conway Locally Grown last week. We have a ton growing in...

No CommentsA Narrow Space
In August my full-time job was cut back to part-time, and I have to be honest. In spite of all of the writing I do on innovation and all of my trend-watching and market-watching, I was completely taken by surprise. I’m over that now, and for the last two and a half-months, I’ve been working...
