sportello

one of the greatest things about having a studio here in fort point channel is the fact that we have some great spots where we can go to get yummy treats..I mean what beats a latte and a croissant with homemade preserves from sportello? nothing.

skating at the frog pond

yesterday we had the unique pleasure of skating on the Frog Pond on Boston Common found smack dab in the center of the city. Not only is it an incredible bargain, (free for kids and 5 dollars for adults), but they make it so easy with rentals right there at the rink and snacks available also at very reasonable prices. don't let a long line intimidate you as it moves along pretty quickly, and you can send the kids next door to the playground while you wait on line listening to the fun music from the 80's and 90's. what a great asset in the center of our city!

perch design

i discovered perch through domino magazine a fewyears ago when i saw their fantastic basket design. i made a rediscovery this week when i was nominated along with 50 or so of my fellow ceramicists for a Poppy award..check out some cool pottery through all of Poppytalk's great finds.

rodarte

the mulleavy sisters are an interesting pair. they make objects of desire that have left the fashion world a bit discombobulated. anna wintour love love loves them..and that can't hurt. i can't tell whether i like the clothing to wear it or to hang it, but most certainly it is different than what has come before. i am particularly fond of the tribal style arm tatoos the girls have chosen to decorate their models with.

glee

i was so ridiculously excited to see MY show glee win a golden globe the other night..don't you just love it?

holly golightly

i mean what can you say other than sheer perfection? right? i watched audrey the other night and it was a complete treat. i am seriously considering running out for some wayfarers and the blonde highlights on the dark hair..on her it was fabulous!
