is to be as aware as you can, every single
minute. Never be bored by anything."

homebodies & card catalogues
while i channel wrapped presents in the mail (outbound),
please go thou & be edified by the exceedingly inspired
card catalog that david john is putting together. & even
though i never make a list, if santa reads this he can run
out and get this book for me. thank you. (in the instant
gratification department, i must note that i don't need a
subscription to liz's excellent blog: i'm signed up. love.)

reading writing & wrapping
besides wanting to thank about six dozen people and send them all notes + get out christmas cards, i have a rather-too-long-in-waiting stack of gifts to wrap & (yes, it's funny, actually; why wait 'til this moment in december?) mail. all of this, honestly, might be easier to tackle if i didn't sort of expect to do a cracker-jack job on each one & have them be worthy of a small space in a bergdorf (sigh) window. anyhow. i'm going to read this (because i need to) and get back to all of you after at least a half-dozen of those gifts have been wrapped. and they won't need to be bergdorfy, they'll just need to be mailed. right? see you soon. happy wrapping to you, too.image: jean prouvé desk via sweet handmade charlotte

sarah melling: pencils & paper
a dear friend of mine recently started a blog;
i think her work is divine. (& i can promise you
that she's divine, too. we completed quite a few
projects together, each one a joy -- thanks to her
good eye and keen skills.) sarah melling, so good
to see you here! you made me smile. coffee, soon?

red bus
by marc johns +
more serious drawings:
highly recommended gifts
(duly noted: a
preponderance
of red, lately. it
seems to have
started with
fell types, buffalo rawhide & trade beads
hey, a girl can dream.
right?

these brilliant tea towels, and it's pretty
clear that they can be highly recommended
for any occasion. click here for more from
studiopatro, and here for links to the market.

Every day you may make progress.Every step may be fruitful. Yetthere will stretch out before youan ever-lengthening, ever-ascending,ever-improving path. You know youwill never get to the end of the journey.But this, so far from discouraging,only adds to the joy and the glory of the climb.
