We Went Camping!

and I played with instagram...



We had so much fun! The wild flowers were unbelievably beautiful. I hope you've had a happy weekend too.

Four Bucks Lolling in the Yard

Happy Friday. These four boys have been relaxing in the neighbor's yard for an hour and a half now. Fun!
Happy weekend to you and thank you for visiting this week!

Cabin in the Woods

A new Summer week! I hope you're having a great Monday. The other day, Sandrine linked to this cabin in the woods...It's a one-room escape in upstate New York with no electricity or running water. What a perfect hideaway. Read more about it in New York (from 2007!).

Still LOVE this home- Minnie Mortimer in Vogue

Happy Friday! I loved Minnie Mortimer's home in Matchbook a while back, and now it's featured in Vogue. I love it as much today! The colors, the light, the art, the Saarinens, the zillions of books, her CLOSET... that dress! All of it. Love. I hope you have a beautiful, colorful weekend!

Art Camp

Happy Thursday to you! Eddie loved his art camp last week...They studied Jackson Pollock and Alexander Calder among others. I love what he created.

Beautiful Weekend

We've been spending a lot of time at the pool.Not this pool, which would be nice, but the pool nonetheless! I hope you have a beautiful weekend that includes outdoor time and refreshing dips in the water. Thank you for visiting me here!

From Wright Mass Modern

Happy Friday to you. We're having happy summer days around here and I hope you are too. I want to show you the pieces I like from Wright's Mass Modern Auction coming this Saturday...A hammock after Calder, a George Nelson wall cabinet and clock, and Gucci salt and pepper shakers. I hope you have a great day whatever you are doing!

The Mountains We Climbed

It's Friday! Happy weekend. I've been looking through my pictures of Tuesday's hike. We had so much fun, I wanted to show you some more...Doug and I woke up at 3:45am to be at the trailhead at 6. We wanted to be up and down the mountain before any bad weather, in case any thunder clouds were to roll in in the afternoon. We could clearly see our first goal, Mt. Democrat, in front of us...We hiked for three hours up the valley and then the side of the mountain to the summit. The views were marvelous the whole way and especially at the top...After a lovely half hour alone on Democrat's peak, we made our way over to neighboring Mt. Lincoln. It's good to be able to summit two 14ers in one day...
We saw only a handful of other hikers. This guy was my favorite, in his coolie hat and his five-finger shoes. Clearly a natural...I hadn't hiked to the summit of a 14,000 ft peak since 1999. It was just a great day and I feel so happy about our accomplishment! It's good to be out in such vast nature and feel very small. It puts many things into perspective. I hope you have a beautiful weekend!
