five little things that made my week.
1. these beans.
{because they were fresh and skinny and still fuzzy from being just-picked}.
2. this article.
{and the others like it. it’s a wild time for life in this tiny apartment}.
3. this queen anne’s lace.
{because it’s my favorite and a favorite of empty lots, which means flowers for me}.
4. this pasta maker.
{because carrie used it to make us white bean stuffed tortellini. so good}.
5. this big screen.
{because when you can watch movies with that view as a backdrop, i say life is pretty grand indeed}.
other things:
these gorgeous bangles.
issue three is out. can’t wait to get my hands on it.
favorite tattly set yet. 50% off through sunday!
these sound wonderful. i’d be tempted to triple the blackberries.

your photos are gorgeous, as always!
thanks, sweet nina.
Ahh! That outdoor movie looks like such a fun thing to do in the evening, you can't beat that view. My downtown has an outdoor movie too, but I still haven't gotten around to going. I really should.
But how exciting is that to have a feature in the paper?! Congrats on your success!
thanks, milynn!
I love the light in your photo's. The flowers are gorgeous. Watching a movie outdoors is on my to-do list! So summery.
totally. such a refreshing change. and so fun to see many other people enjoying them, too!
we get a similar backdrop of midtown all the way to the financial district when we go to movies in the park in hoboken 😀
i used to think drive-in movies were cool, but movies in the park with manhattan in the background TOTALLY top it!!
cheers!
sounds awesome! (and i agree!).
Congratulations on your success by being in the paper! You are quite the inspiring person to be honest. I just read an article about your apartment on yahoo and I personally agree that that is a much finer and eloquent way to live, rather than having a $2 million mansion. As far as your pictures go, they are very tasteful and I enjoy seeing that such simple things, such as flowers found in empty lots, can make your week. This blog is the most inspiring thing I have seen in weeks, if not months, and it definitely put things into perspective for me. I look forwarded to reading through your content weekly to look at the world how you have, in a more simple and easy-going way. The second I saw that you had a blog, while reading the article about your home, i clicked the link and bookmarked it before even finishing the article. Please keep living life the way you are, I hope to do the same one day.
Sincerely, Andy Paro
why, thank you. so many nice words!
So so lovely to meet you last night! You and James are delightful–after parting ways, Tiho said, "They are cool and normal" (ha, a compliment, I promise!). And I agree 🙂
Hope to see you around again at another Thursday movie night.
ha! so nice to meet you guys, too! cheers to happy blogger meetings!
Love those things – I made pasta for the first time last week! My mother-in-law taught us how to make it and now she is going to give us her spare pasta maker. Yep, the woman has two pasta makers. I'm a lucky daughter-in-law.
amazing! and delicious.
Have a lovely weekend!
thanks, lady!
I moved into a roughly 300 sqft apartment last week, and as a fellow lover of minimalist living, I was truly lucky to find your blog the other day. It's safe to say it will forever be open in a tab on my laptop (at least until I make it through all of your archived posts!). Thank you for the beautiful inspiration.
thanks for such a sweet note! i'm always glad to know another tiny space dweller!
a lovely backdrop indeed. and what a lovely blog you have
thanks, robyn!
Yay for To Kill a Mockingbird!
You're so right–those blackberry cakes could withstand another few handfuls of berries! Congrats on all the press, and thanks for the link!
I love all these photos. You always come up with such wonderfully simple pictures and I like looking forward to them.
I love Queen Anne's lace (and your blog) I have a rather large tattoo of it! I've just left from visiting New York and I was shovked to see so much of it in Brooklyn!
