Currently loving.

This cd:  Some Nights. (And just like the band's name, it's fun.)

Macarons. Thanks to this email. SERIOUS food envy.  

Truvia.  It has really helped me cut down on my sugar (and soda) intake. I even carry packets in my purse now to sweeten my tea when I eat out. Fantastic.

Fab.com. I'm discovering great new products, photography, food... I could go on and on! (The app for iPhone is designed well, too.)

This blog post from Chookooloonks. It totally helped me get through the rest of the week. And it's such great inspiration for photography.

And this picture I took last month.  I'm thinking it'll be perfect if I enlarge it and hang it in the art room. 



And PS -- Happy Leap Day!

Scenes from Valentine's Day

Because Tim is a restaurant manager and normally always has to work on Valentine's Day, we usually celebrate on a different day. So, last Friday we had our Valentine's Day. We started at Terry's Turf Club (which never disappoints) and ended at the Cincinnati Museum Center and it was just perfect.  Enjoy. :) (And try not to get too hungry!)

I Heart: Yuko Takada Keller

Denmark-based artist Yuko Takada Keller is the creator of these beautiful and etherial 3-dimensional installations. She uses tiny triangles of tissue paper to create these amazing works of art. Can you imagine the time and patience it must take to build these? But definitely well worth the time - these are incredible!
