crochet for spring

saying that i love anything that is embellished sometimes makes it sound like i love gaudy beaded tops from the 80's. not at all. sometimes embellishment just a beautifully simple detail. love this top from anthropologie. 

get it here.

for my roommate...

my roommate has filled our apartment with flowers. and it is lovely. yesterday and today she has been under the weather. so when i saw this picture which reminded me of her i wanted to post it as a little get well shout out. 

garment district

i have to share this beautiful video by the new york times about garment district workers. i am always trying to explain how amazing the factories are that still exist in new york. these are not sweat shops, they are highly skilled people working for families that have owned these companies for generations.

please check it out here.

rain

it's raining in brooklyn today...and probably other places too. i ventured outside for that interview (which was disappointing) but now i am home safe and warm. these first weeks of spring are shaky...rainy and cold is not fun. but unlike rainy and cold in november there is hope for warmer sunny days coming. i am going to make myself a green tea and work on my quilt. a perfect rainy afternoon.
