I am a huge Wes Anderson fan. His movies move quietly through my sense of humor, striking a chord (funny bone?) somewhere subtle and doing so ever so softly. Soft enough that I can’t help but giggle. And whether animated with George Clooney and Meryl Streep (The Fantastic Mr. Fox) or on a train (The … Continue reading
In a show of keystrokes… who watched? I dabbled in the live version with a semi-interested husband and a very hungry and latched baby, but recorded it so I could get serious about swooning over some red carpet raves. Sadly, there were but a few. And I don’t say that simply. Best Dressed : Rosamund Pike and … Continue reading
As of today, I’ve got a one-month old. Mac is little (but growing), noisy and so, so sweet and snuggly. He’s also really high maintenance.

Day 12 | What to Get the Christmas Queen Well, you’ve got 24 hours to get that last little name on your list checked off. Or, less! Ordering prints is probably not practical at this time … BUT – you can get them something that totally looks like you bought it well before the season … Continue reading
Day 8 | What to Get the Outdoorsy One …Trade in your golden rings this holiday season, for tree rings. This particular shot was snagged on top of Brasstown Valley Resort in Young Harris. TRees are everywhere, and the forest is as dense on a gray, winter day, as it is in the middle of … Continue reading
Day 7 | What to Get a Man’s Man When you think of that guy – the one with the scruff, the one wearing t-shirts, flannel and workboots or even just the one who prefers hunter green to “a manly purple” – it’s hard to picture (ha! no pun intended) gifting him with something artful. … Continue reading
Day 6 | What to Get… A DIYer So they usually make their gifts, and make everything else in their house. And they show it off to the world via their super-hip Instagram account, so you definitely know they’re not going to love the scrapbook of movie theatre tickets you were thinking about… Or the scarf. Meh. Instead, … Continue reading
