…but it’s for a good reason! When I should have been writing about the great designers I’m coming across, I’ve been working with Joyce — not just a blogger but also a freelance photographer and graphic designer — on designing and programming a new DesignBoston.org. The basic layout is all set, but there’s still much [...]

@ theBrimfield Antique Show Fall 2009 My husband Kevin and I went to the Brimfield Antique Show Sunday on a whim. Sometimes this is ok, but more often than not you get completely overwhelmed with the abundance of so much cool old stuff! For the most part we did all right. We did have a [...]

As I mentioned previously, I’m organizing a fund raiser, called Social Media for Social Change. Here’s the basic idea of it: The social media world has proven that, though still a young and small community within a multitude of industries, we have the power to exact great change.

First off, Happy New Year! Okay, I know it’s a little late. As I’ve mentioned before, my internet connection is spotty at best, but I’ve also been busy job hunting. I need to take some time off from school and concentrate on working full time. As you can (hopefully) tell by reading DB, I’m a [...]

Have a wonderful Christmas.
Earlier today I was walking down Concord Ave in Cambridge. I was happy to find Reside, a store in who’s windows I have drooled many times (because it’s always been at night), was open. Reside sells “original works of great design as well as rare and hard to find pieces by some of the era’s [...]
