From the monthly archives:
I know that we’re all not shopping these days given the economy, job situations, and a general growing sense that we have more to do than shop but, I’d like to think that spring will bring me one of these full of fresh flowers.

Clever and talented Samantha Hahn has put together the sweetest book on everyone’s favorite topic: LOVE!
In the spirit of love I’m giving away a copy of this book to one lucky (in love?) reader. Just leave me a comment about something you love and it could be yours.
LOVE,
Abbey

So I started a new job two weeks ago (doing archival research at a venerable New York institution’s library) and in the hustle and bustle of adjusting to a new schedule I totally forgot to post that dear Joslyn over at Simple Lovely had asked me to participate in her oh so fun feature Blogger’s Favorites. My top 10 ‘can’t-live-without’ items are here and be sure to check out the rest of the great blogger favorite.

Thanks Anne!

I had yummy Turkish food here last night (and the left overs for breakfast).
I’m still hoping for pizza here.
I want to finally see Slumdog Millonare!
What are you up to?

In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.

It’s been too long since I posted a bouquet so today will feature a double header. This is a branch of crab apple blossoms, I think!

Watching the Inauguration and all the cold, but happy people had me thinking about chic hats (since there are a lot of them out there today!). See lots more fab fur hats over at Refinery 29.
If fur isn’t your thing, there are lots of great looking faux versions out there.

I’m inspired by the artwork of Rachel Castle which is made using vintage linens and various materials, in this case felt. I’d love to try my hand something similar to this!
