Easing back into this whole “blog” thing, like an old lady into the ocean or any person into an extremely hot bath. And on the theme of ‘you’ve got to start somewhere,’ let’s look at some photos of our (by which I mean “my”) patron saint/spirit animal/what-have-you—little Martha Stewart. Maybe she didn’t really even care about hosting the most elaborately perfect Easter luncheon yet. I like to imagine that her clothes were balled up on the floor of her closet. Still figuring it out.

PEOPLE Big Shot Movie Club Everything Irish Face-Off

TREEHOUSE Music Volume 1.3
We just wrapped up an unseasonably hot, summery and at times warmly glowing weekend up here at the Treehouse. Meanwhile, I’ve been swept away by a gaggle of friendly ladies, playing ping pong as the aforementioned warmth peters out for the day, and feting a tiny friend-to-be (a note: we should all be so lucky to have a baby kegger in place of a shower).

STYLE Single White Female Art Party Edition
Single White Female is a feature that truly lives by the adage, “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” The first two installments brought you the best of the boob tube and the second, Hitchcock blondes. In lieu of the popular new year mantra “be more creative” I’m taking it to the canvas by bringing you women of the art world. Let us ogle jewelry, fashion’s wearable art, through the imaginary lens of four feminine creators. Kahlo, Bourgeois, Krasner and O’Keefe – meet your metal match. — Sarah Hardt Continue reading
TREEHOUSE MUSIC Volume 1.1
I’ve been hit by that flu that’s circulating, so things are mellow here at the Treehouse today. Here are some January tunes for whatever you happen to be up to. My other/better half helped me pull this list together because of my relentless delirium! Since January is all about shedding dead weight and starting new beginnings, these are all songs off of various artist’s debut solo records. Specific, eh? Hope you enjoy! Continue reading
