Good for the Sole

The strangest things have been happening in my life this past month. Coincidences upon coincidences have been piling up and I can’t help but wonder if a true calling is revealing itself to me. I’m feeling pulled like a wave to the moon. On my last day in India, I left a pair of shoes...

Home

I’ve sat down to write this post at least half a dozen times since arriving back home from India on Wednesday. My head is so busy and my thoughts so jumbled that I’ve been struggling to figure out how to share all that I’ve seen and experienced in format of a blog post. I’m still...

Craftsmanship

Last night I ran out of acid-free foamcore when working on a framing project here at Atelier. Ryan and I drove out to Newark (now our closest access to art & craft stores). When I stopped by a “big box” frame shop to purchase enough to get me by until our next restocking, only a...

Voyage to India

Have you ever felt a sea of movement churning within yourself that you feel compelled to follow? There are very few moments in my life that I can describe this way; receiving an odd sort of clouded clarity. Some of the most notable were my first kiss with Ryan, the day I purchased a DSLR...

Candlelight Walking Tour of Granville: Dec. 1st

Ryan and I have already blocked out time in our schedule for the evening of Saturday, December 1st. The village is beginning to look a lot like Christmas…everywhere you go! Live pine trees are starting to line the streets, one mammoth of a tree has been adorned with bulbs and a festive banner is where...

Broadway+Thresher

Projects like Broadway+Thresher are exactly why I’m so in love with Granville, Ohio. I sat with co-founder, Andrew Kohn, over coffee at River Road a few weeks back as he shared his plans for a new magazine scheduled to arrive in 2013. Earlier this month, they launched a website that gets updated daily in multiple...

Rural Society

This weekend is the Rural Society Antique & Garden Show in Mount Vernon, Ohio. I’ve been tempted to attend several times, but it was the invitation from a friend that really encouraged me to make the trip. It just happened to pan out that a couple flying in from Chicago for engagement portraits today had...
