The times they are a changin’ around my house, and I think I have a new favorite color combination: navy blue and Hermes orange.

montgomery rag

Growing up, I really hated quilts. They smelled funny, were torn and reminded me of my Grandma’s basement. None of which were helping me cultivate what I thought was (and now realize was the opposite of) the coolest high-school room ever. But now as my thirtieth birthday grows closer and closer,* I find myself going…

mr jones watches

I’ve never been much of a watch person. I am, however, married to a major watch-lover. AC loves watches the way I love swatches, so I understand and appreciate the urge to collect them. And if I was going to start wearing watches, these designs from Mr Jones Watches would be at the top of…
