Looked out my window this morning. 

We've got about 2 inches and steady falling. 

Happy Weekend!

Thinking about fall foods

I don't know if i mentioned this, but a few weeks back i discovered that i reactivated an allergy i had as a child to citrus fruit and citrus acid. As a wee one, there was a time when i couldn't eat any citrus fruit because it caused erosion of my stomach lining. LO and behold...after eating a little too much citrus in the last few months my body has begun to say 'no thank you' in the form of allergic reactions. So i've been thinking a lot about food. You may not know it but citric acid is in lots of things...i'm slowly experimenting to see what i can still eat and not upset my stomach too badly. 


These photos just made my start to salivate!

Sunday Thoughtful

My Creative Space - My NY Inspiration Journal

This week I have really needed inspiration. When there are a ton of deadlines approaching and events on the horizon I sometimes need a little extra juice to get me through the stress. Hence this week for Our Creative Spaces I present: My inspiration Journal.

 I posted a while ago that one of my goals for the future is to move to NY next year. A few months ago i went through a really low sort of hopeless feeling time. So i started this collage journal of things that excite me about NY. Here are some of them.

What do you do when you are feeling completely overwhelmed? 
I have so many projects happening right now i barely know which way to turn. 
I feel like i'm in some vicious work cycle. I am stressed out by what i have to do (most of which makes me happy by the way) but the only way to cope with the strange things that seem to just keep happening around me is to work. 
I'm worried.

My Creative Space- postcards

Wow. Its been so long since i've done one of these! I'm excited to have something to share. 
I've been working on some fall themed book marks. These are prototypes. I wasn't 100% happy with the picture quality...but i'm found a great printer to work with and i'm excited for the next round. 

Alabaster Coffee Roasters- Willamsport PA

I discovered Alabaster Coffee Roaster and Tea Company in the cool autumn of tour last year. We were in Williamsport to perform Macbeth (there were electronic billboards about it as we crossed the bridge into the city...so cool!). We were blessed to have a little bit of down time and the days were beautiful when we got to roam about in downtown Williamsport. My friend Brad and I were roaming and i suggested we stop in for some coffee since it wasn't quite dinner time. Read: I am always hungry...perhaps this will hold me over. 


And what a cool place.

For the home

Can you imagine waking up to so much light? 

Monday Blogtoberfest walk

I love it when you discover something new in old places. Today i was walking down a road that i've walked more times than i can count. 

And i turned to my left and saw a sign i had never notice: Please stay on path. 

This is what i found. 

Monday Blogtoberfest Thoughtful

So far i've had an adventurous day outdoors and I'll have a photo story about it later today. But. 
I've been thinking a great deal about what i want from my future...what i want to be doing and what i hope for. A friend of mine told me i needed to watch this and i thought i'd share it with you.

Blogtoberfest -Oct 4

So soon I've fallen off the horse! But i blame how busy i was most of yesterday. 


I've gotten to visit a bunch of people since i got to NY, saw a movie, had a fantastic dinner, walked around in Prospect Park and on the High Line, and eaten more than my fair share of ethnic food.  


I saw Midnight in Paris last night over at the Kennedy Center. My favorite part about it were the scenes of Dell walking around Paris.  There is something wonderful about perambulation. Oddly enough i've tried since i've been here on my mini-vacation to spend as much time outside as possible. i say oddly enough, because it seems strange to me to come to a city to be outside.  But i've been taking great joy in walking around and looking around, feeling the breeze in my face. 

Blogtoberfest Day 1

Hey guys! I'm in the midst of packing and cleaning and getting ready for my trip (I head out tonight after work) when i discover this! Blogtoberfest! Hosted over at {tinniegirl}, Blogtoberfest is a marathon of daily blogging. It sounds like AugustBreak but with words. 


I am very excited about this. Yesterday i was wishing that there was some sort of Blog event i could participate in since it really keeps me motivated to post. Lo and behold. Ask and ye shall receive. 


I hope you all have a spectacular Sunday! Hopefully i'll have lots of fun stories and photos to bring home. 
Best, 
Ta
