ahhh, new york. it’s such a crazy place.
it’s the land-o-plenty for bizarre opportunities to (re)invent yourself. you come here seeking one thing, and quickly the universe shows you what you should really be going after.
such is the case for louisa shafia. after working as an editor on npr’s fresh air, then [...]
recycled & hand-blown beverage jars
Leave a Comment
spring is here (so the calendar says) and soon there will be garden parties galore. think ladies in sundresses, light filtering through green leaves & the smell of flowers blooming.
makes me want a lemonade, an iced tea, some punch or, ah hell, a cocktail–sangria perhaps.
and for a lovely, self-serve beverage bar you’re gonna need some [...]

my sweet friend–annie churchill–and founder of new yorkers for a green new york*, has just the fix for anyone chomping at the bit to shed some [...]
ikea: outdoor solar lighting
1 Comment
ikea catches flack for being, well–a big-box chain. typically, that conjures up factories in china, pollution & unbridled consumerism.
