It’s getting rather chilly in Boston. Some days are perfect crisp autumnal wonders. Others just plain cold. While I will surely be dreaming of Caribbean getaways come February, I had this post put together already, so I thought I’d share it now. I am crazy crazy with work. Will catch up here with many thoughtful [...]

Food: Farmer’s Market in Stowe, Vermont
We went to visit friends in Stowe a couple of weeks ago. It was sort of drizzly, but still magical. I adore Vermont. The rolling pastures and golden leaves calm me. It’s so unlike the untamed landscape in Cape Cod, where we spend the summer, which actually leaves me a little unsettled. It was a [...]

ARTmonday: Jacob Kulin
I first came across Jacob Kulin through a publicist for D Scale, designer Dennis Duffy’s furnishings showroom in the South End. She had emailed me images of an amazing tree branch, glass, and steel table that I was able to include in an article for the Globe, and in my post Get the Look: Trees [...]

Montage: Eames Lounge
At first glance, if you’re not (gasp!) a connoisseur of the mid-century modern, the Eames lounge may look frumpy. I’ve heard from a couple of women that I interviewed for articles, that their husbands “didn’t get it” at first, but then went on to love and live in it. I would so love one in [...]

Designer Spotlight: Mod Green Pod

ARTmonday: Anne Packard
Anne Packard is the quintessential Cape Cod painter. She creates beautiful, luminescent landscapes in oil. Unlike a lot of examples in the genre, her works are skillfully exquisite. The best place to view Anne’s work is in Provincetown at the Packard Gallery, a charming converted New England church. She shares the space s with her [...]

Beauty Break: Silky Smooth Hair
Publicists send me a fair number of beauty products. A lot of them I simply have no use for, like sparkly blue nail polish (though Coraline did tickle my fancy), lavender foot balm (who has time?), pink floral flip flops (if I lived in Florida), and thong tape (don’t ask). Sometimes I make a good [...]
