morning light.

it is the best spot to sip my coffee in every day.



now if only we had a kitten. i'm sure it would enjoy this spot.

coming together.

too bad for him.

new items added to the shop today. and don't worry. katy perry photos are coming right up!

no big deal but.

me and my bff are going here this weekend:



to see her:



jealous? thought so.

smart man.

lobsterman has a very good eye. we were camping in rangeley a few weeks back and stopped at a yard sale. he found this old hunk of junk camp oven that was for sale for $1. it was in rough shape. so what does he do?





turns it into a wine holder. the man is a genius!

success.

wanted to make a cushion for a storage bench for ages and i finally did last night. it looks pretty good considering it took about 20 minutes. success! onto the next apartment project.



please ignore the dishes i have yet to put away in the background. thanks.

home.

we surprised my dad by driving all the way to ct on friday afternoon. we had a lovely weekend filled with food. i am not kidding. i am three pounds heavier.

i love going home.

happy birthday.

to my dad.



a great father. a great chef. a funny man. a dapper dresser. a good swearer. and my fave guy on earth.

The Watson Shop is open!

Friends. Please check out my new vintage clothing shop - The Watson Shop !



I only had time to upload my first batch of items last night - but there will be lots more of vintage goodies to come! Hooray! So happy to be a part of the etsy community.

things i forgot.

but recently realized once again.

1. Mr. Goodbars are so good and highly underrated. I think they sprinkle them with crack.



2. Walking into town without my debit card means I won't buy things. Genius!
Except when I see my favorite antique store literally tossing things out the window at insane discounted prices and I am without wallet. Dumb!

3. Wearing backpacks are comfortable.

4. Knowing how to sew a button is probably the best home ec still I could have ever held on to.



that is all.

i really need it to be friday.

lobsters.

lobsterman is going to be hauling traps soon - in two weeks. he will be mostly on the midcoast while i'll be busy redecorating our apartment in his absence. you know. to keep busy.



what are your summer plans thus far?

get excited!

i am launching my etsy shop this weekend. hip, hip, hurray!

any guesses on what i'll be selling?

write to do list. check.

national best friends day. was yesterday.

i am lucky to have a lot of best friends. but she's the one that started it all!

also, we're seeing katy perry in two weeks. jealous? thought so.

The Bronx

Just some photos from my favorite neighborhood in New York. If you live in NYC and haven't walked down Arthur Avenue - you are missing out.

too much fun.

I am playing catch up since my whirlwind reunion weekend. I miss my friends already. I have the best friends.

A Few Snaps.

heading back.

this weekend i'm headed to my alma mater for a college reunion. five years since graduation. phew. i am old.



though i must admit, i'm excited to be back on campus much older and much wiser.
