Continuing my favorite Pinterest board series, my pick this week is the “Fascinating Animals” board curated by Stephanie Bollinger. Beautifully put together, the board showcases some of nature’s amazing creations, from the cute to the colorful to the simply jaw dropping (can you believe those nudibranches?!). See the rest here. Also check out some of […]
Winter Wonders: My Favorite Pinterest Board Of The Week
Winter wonders… whether you like the cold season or not, snow and ice and Christmas decorations make for very pretty pictures. Are you as smitten with Pinterest as I am? I have to confess that I am a bit of a Pinterest addict… I’m on both Facebook and Twitter (well, I signed up on Twitter but have […]
Adorable Scottish Terrier Treasury
I was doing a bit of cleaning up in my Etsy shop and happened to come across this adorable Scottish Terrier Christmas treasury that was put together by Marc of efinegifts (a vintage shop on Etsy) back in August. Marc says two of his greatest obsessions are Christmas and Scotties, and they are sort of perfect […]

Well, it didn’t (not yet..). But […]
Spring Is Here – Time For Outdoor Photography Portraits
While it’s pouring outside (again!) here in Boston as I’m writing this, we can all take comfort in the forecast for the upcoming weekend: 70s, 80s, sunshine – Yes! This time of year is perfect for outdoor portraits. It’s warm enough to dress nicely, and the trees and ground are still pretty colorless, making them […]
