What I'm reading
Joie de Vivre - I first saw this book at the new MFA Paris fashion exhibit, but didn't buy it u
ntil a couple months later when Border's was running 40% off coupons in The New York Times. Gotta be a bargain hunter! Anyway, I have a major obsession with Europe and having never been to France I thought this book would give me a chance to bring a bit of France into my Brighton studio. The simple pictures that accompany the recipes (assiette de charcuterie , pictured left)and stories of France are almost a mini-escape within the pages of the book. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Mark your calendar!
Boston Fashion Weekend
I'm on the planning committee so I had to mention it! More details to come. . .

Crafty Showcase
Some of you may remember that I posted about Spark Crafts a while back. Well good news: I finished my 6-week knitting intensive and I am now a knitter. I had taken a sewing class at the BCAE, but I like knitting better because it's portable. Take a look at the hats my sister and I knitted while I was home for Christmas. Let me know if you'd like one and I'll make one for a small fee, of course!

Now why didn't I think of that???
- No lie, just last week I was thinking:“I wish I had an easier way to transport my laundry detergent.” Well, I guess our friends at OxiClean had the same idea. . .
- Now this almost looks like a "special" toy, but it really is clever: Banana Bunker

Tech buzz- Gadget I NEED!!! This cool self-adhering, travel-size tripod let's you take pictures from any angle. It's almost as good as having your own photographer.
- Google Buster? I adore Google, but there's a new browser on the block: ChaCha. What makes it different/better than Google? Well, it's realtime searching by an actual person based on lifelike speech aka human-powered search. Confused? Read this.
