books, and where they live.

I was lucky enough to grow up in one of those houses where there are books in every corner of every room.  Books piled so high, in some instances, that the old ones were relegated to boxes in the attic.  Everyone in my family reads, and reads a lot.  Whether it is making them, writing them, or reading them, it's become clear in the past few years that books are amongst my most prized possessions.  Which brings me to my point: I need new more bookcases.

favorites.

from one of my all-time favorite stores, ABC Carpet and Home.

my perfect dress.

this little sonia rykiel number is perfection.  sadly, it is like $800 too expensive.  but a girl can dream.

my book, "the daydream."

it's a carousel book, made out of three layers of paper that get sown together with thread, on the front edges.  I wanted it to have a real handmade feel, since it is a personal story.  the images are all taken by me, or by someone in my family.  the text depicts a dream I used to have about my father building a flying car.  we'd float across the air and ocean, and be able to travel anywhere.  click on larger versions of the photographs if you want to read it.  it was a lot of work, as always, but worth it in the end!

happy feet.

 

 

with my back the way it is currently, I do not expect to be wearing heels anytime soon.  but that can't stop me from daydreaming about these sexy, sexy shoes from chie mihara!  they all feel very vintage to me.  happy feet, indeed.  she also does make flats, so there's always that.
