we had a lovely weekend with family {den's parents came into town for the weekend} and our first walk about the brooklyn botanical gardens - so very beautiful and truly inspiring - my mind is spinning with ideas since our afternoon there.  and after eating an amazing meal at athena - den and i are trying something new.  we both have been so tired and run down - maybe it's our crazy summer catching up with us - maybe it's the over indulgence of exploring the eateries in our new neighborhood.  but we are going greek.  we are going to try and limit our diet to fruit, veggies, nuts, olives, breads, cheeses and fish.  last night i even though about starting a new blog to chronicle our efforts - but i think we'll give it a couple of weeks first.  in the meantime, here are some things that i am super excited about and prove that print is not dead:

~ anthology - a new print {yes, print!!} shelter magazine - can not wait for my first copy to arrive;

~ gourmet is back with a series of special editions - the first is available now - maybe i can still fulfill my dream of shooting for them;

~ you might find a photo of my hand - or maybe my arm - in this book featuring lovely photos by my good friend jen causey;

~ and so excited about the readymade community cookbook - have you submitted yet?

see you soon...

l'shanah tovah friends.  it is the jewish new year and we are reflecting on all that has bloomed before us over the last twelve months.  the adventures, the open roads, the ancient lands, the new city.  and to think it was a missed connection on my way back from stockholm this spring that brought me into the heart of nyc for the first time - fate is a tempting mistress.  walking through central park that afternoon, i knew that i found home - it happened that fast.  i wish you a happy new year - full of your own adventures - dive into the deep end - the water is lovely...

can you feel it?  is it getting cooler?  it is taking it's time here, but any escape from the recent waves of heat is welcome.  though, like so many of you i am sure, i am daydreaming about boots, scarves, and sweaters; windy walks that kiss your cheeks and coming home to savory soups.  the apartment is still coming together - closer to being finished everyday, adie starts school this week - ayla the next - busy, busy, busy.  some things i am loving...

~ i do not wear a lot of color but i adore this dress;

~ mixing it up a bit and listening to:  chromeo, black oak arkansas, faith no more and  jeff buckley right now;

~ as summer comes to a close, i find myself coming back to this photo again and again;

~ and this polaroid that amanda took of ayla and i on the beach in vancouver this summer is one for my favorites photos.  ever;

~ once again gobsmaked by pamela love's latest look book, that cuff on page 14?  yes please;

~ i have always wanted a half sleeve but felt like maybe it was too much for me.  well - i seem to be slowly working towards it anyway - wait until you see what i do next - LOVE brian at hand of glory - love;
