Goodbyes...

Feeling a little sad about my last week in this amazing building. When I first started working here I made a promise that I'd never forget to look up when entering the rotunda each morning. I'll miss those little AM jolts which made me feel lucky to work in such a beautiful place. Hall of Justice... you will be missed.

Gypsies, tramps and thieves....

We're heading to Hocking Hills for a weekend and while searching for rustic cabins I found this adorable little number. This is what my backyard is missing. A gypsy wagon is a nice little bohemian twist on the traditional guest house.

Doggie Pool Day

End of the season swim with my little Lincoln Logs!

Murakami @ Versailles!

Our trip to Versailles had an extra twist with Mirakami's sculptures scattered about the palace and gardens. We were the only tourists taking more pictures of his work than the Parisian grandeur. My favorite part? The carpet!

Cats and Parasols

Chance encounter with some lovely graffiti art on our rainy first night in Paris.

High Society

While traveling we discovered a delightful book shop in the home of a retired couple. The timing couldn't have been more perfect because it began to rain seconds after we entered, allowing for plenty of browsing time.

My selection was, The Late George Apley, a charming novel that's written as a memoir and gives us a slightly voyeuristic (but lovely) glimpse into the lives of a privileged New England family. After finishing, I had a sudden urge to watch Philadelphia Story and would walk around the house proclaiming, "my she was yar" in my best Katherine Hepburn accent.

Eyes on You

Spotted this lovely sign in Barcelona on the way to Gaudi's Sagrada Familia.
