A couple of weeks ago, this blog post from my friend Nell, made me realize that I ought to go out and take some pictures of my field. There is a time of year when it is at a certain peak of beauty. Really it looks pretty amazing all the time – in all of it’s different [...]

When I was a little girl, I had this shirt. I guess you’d have to call it a blouse. Even if you’re not the sort of person who says “blouse” (and I’m not), that’s really what it was. I was seven – so that would make it 1979 or 1980. . . The blouse was [...]

Well, despite all of my misplaced anxiety about what to wear to a conference, the night before I was set to travel to Atlanta found me not in a salon getting my nails painted, or even up in my room, putting together snazzy outfits, but rather out in the garden, till well after dark. There [...]

I’m back! I’m back home and I’m back here at breida with a b. I feel like I haven’t checked in with you in years. Okay. I exaggerate. A little. But it does seem like a very long time since I left for the Haven Conference. Thank you for checking in again to see if [...]

Hello Everyone! I’m joining up today with Laura from The Ironstone Nest to present a list of a few of my favorite things. What a great idea! I’ve already learned about a few interesting products that I’d like to try from reading other people’s lists on the link party. Plus, I’m coming to realize that I [...]

See? Last week when I did the Pinspired and Produced feature and said it was #9, none of you noticed that it was really supposed to be #10. And honestly? One of us should really be paying attention. Maybe you did notice and you were too polite to say anything. I’ll try to keep track [...]

Seriously. I spent a bunch of time out in the garden this week and I was thinking about how tenacious the weeds are. We work and work and worry and bend ourselves over backwards to keep the flowers and the vegetable plants alive (often with mixed results), all the while we are fighting and toiling [...]
