    Last weekend we celebrated the arrival of Miz Emily back to the east coast with a retreat at her parents house in Western Connecticut.  Sadly we were missing one crow, Riane, who was busy in California hunting for a new nest in the Bay Area but we all got a chance to chat with her [...]

    I’m super jealous of my sister’s creativity. For Mother’s Day, my sister Erin turned a vintage baby carriage into a planter. She decoupaged the outside with images of nature and filled the inside with soil, some flowers and a little ceramic watering stake shaped as a mushroom. Cute!!
