i'm here! promise.

Why, hello!

I'm here!  Well, I never really left.  I've been absent for a very obnoxious reason.  When blogger updated a few months ago it lost the links to all of the pictures on this good 'ol blog.  So, slowly but surely I've been trying to recover what I can, and delete what I can't. 

In the meantime, I've been busy.

I went shopping at loop last weekend and took away with me some yarn that I'm itching to knit with.

 

I've also been working on a little something for myself from a Kim Hargreaves pattern.   

Now that blog is back up and working I'll be updating regularly again, so, let's be friends?

goodbye, camberwell

hello.

I know I've been missing from this blog for a while.  Life has been busy with work, traveling, and moving.  Sadly, I had to say goodbye to my old 'hood, Camberwell.  But, I'm excited for my next adventure north of the river!

I'm off to Croatia tomorrow and promise lots of pictures and posts upon my return.

original makers club of louisville

Although I haven't lived there for some time now, my hometown of Louisville, Kentucky will always be one of my favorite places in the world.  For a small city that goes largely unnoticed, there are some pretty great things happening there all the time. 

One of the things I love most about Louisville is the vibrant culture and strong support for local businesses.  So, I'm very pleased to have recently discovered the Original Makers Club of Louisville: a website (and book) dedicated to highlighting the city's local treasures.

I'm so happy to see some of my favorite places on the website, and am also pleasantly surprised to see some things that are new to me.  I'll be back home for a wedding and to visit family next week, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll have some time to go out and rediscover my little city with the help of this website.

Oh, and they have a pretty great blog, so don't forget to visit that too.

henley royal regatta

Last weekend I went to the Henley Royal Regatta. 

I'm a crew novice - I've never been to any kind of rowing event before - and absolutely loved the atmosphere and culture associated with the sport.  I'm lucky enough to have a friend who is not just talented at rowing, but is pretty much as good as it gets (he's on the Olympic rowing team for England).  We got the VIP treatment - tickets to the Stewards enclosure and for the Leander rowing club. 

To the event I wore: accordion pleat skirt - Zara; shirt - Sea NY; belt - Anthropologie; necklace - vintage.

a lowcountry picnic + jack rudy cocktail co.

A very talented friend from Kentucky, Brooks Reitz and some of his creative friends in Charleston, put together this idyllic picnic for Matchbook Magazine.  Cocktails were provided courtsey of Brooks' hand crafted tonic from Jack Rudy Cocktail Company - which I've tasted, and is truly amazing.

around the 'hood

Some pictures from around my neighborhood.

The cafe is one of my favorite places to hang out - it's part of the South London Gallery called No.67.

cats in bars

I may not have properly expressed how much I love cats on this blog... but oh, do I love them.  This ongoing series of pictures from photographer Martijn Savenije is right up my alley, cat.  (Ok, bad joke.)

Found via Miss Moss.

half shirts

I have completed knitting two fronts of two summer shirts.  Let's hope I finish them both before summer is over!

Details about each here and here.
