Home Is.

by Anastasia on August 12, 2009

HOME ISAREN’T WEBSITES THAT END in “project” and are devoted to building community awesome? (You better say “yes!”) Well, I think so. Accordingly, I’ve been loving This is Home Project–a site filled with visual representations of the many ways we identify home. It’s quite simple, really. Complete the sentence “Home is _____.” and send it along to the project. A winning phrase will be selected by readers and made into post cards. I’m ruminating on my entry, but it’s hard to feel inspired when my current home looks like it had a violent run-in with an IKEA truck. How would you fill in the blank?

With a Little Help from the Sisters

by Anastasia on August 2, 2009

2808974119_8907dffc62IN ANTICIPATION OF MY TREK southward, I’ve been nesting like nobody’s business. In my head, I see my soon-to-be new apartment as beautiful, clean and cozy, smelling like fresh-baked muffins. (While trying to not envision all the hard work it’s going to take to get me there. Eep!) But my vision just may come true now that I’m a part of a sisterhood with such creative and generous women. [click to continue…]

OKAY, SISTERS, IT’S TIME FOR ME to confess something: I am secretly terrified about my impending relocation to North Carolina! (Did you hear? I’m about to start graduate school.) There’s so much to do! And so much to leave! The video above (which I found thanks to the lovely Capucha) pretty much sums it all up. Thank goodness I watched it the whole way through, because how could I forget: There’s also so much to discover. Whew.

A Sisterhood of Lovely Packaging

by Anastasia on July 27, 2009

package-exchangeIF I WASN’T IN THE PROCESS of packing up everything I own, driving 1,000 miles, and then unpacking everything I own in the next two weeks, I’d be all over the Lovely Package Exchange going on over at the blog Oh, Hello Friend. I adore pretty paper and ribbons and bows, not to mention mailing by the post. And this package exchange with an emphasis on packaging has all those things and more (namely a cute gift from a total stranger). So, alas, I missed this one, but hopefully another lovely package exchange will roll around soon. (In the mean time I’m drooling over these pretty parcels.)
