This is not necessarily her personal style guide, but it might as well be: contained herein is more shiny than you can shake a stick at, and she adores the avant garde, the quirk, and the offbeat. Sometimes she may talk about aesthetics, refinement, the beauty of the handmade, and so forth.Meredithnoreply@blogger.comBlogger131100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300709761087884662.post-10132087282243944122008-07-25T12:50:00.000-07:002008-07-25T13:19:01.913-07:00

Ann Arbor, MI is an extremely arty, interesting town. I moved here about a month ago, and I have yet to be disappointed in doing so (well, except on the job front, but that's another story...). Last week was the annual Ann Arbor Street Art Fairs (pictured left), which is four days of hectic artistic craziness spanning blocks of multiple streets. It is one heck of an experience, and a lot of

Alright, I'll admit it: I'm a huge fan of vintage ephemera. There's something fascinating and, I have to say, something a little eerie in looking at popular art and advertising trends from decades past. I always wonder what everything from today will look like in twenty or thirty years. Will we be nostalgic? Will we cringe at the sight of Paris Hilton hawking hamburgers in a skimpy swimsuit

I first came across the work of Teri D. of midnightbluadorn in the Livejournal group craftgrrl, and I was in awe. Her ingenuity in her use of polymer clay and shrink plastic (materials near and dear to my heart) was apparent, but what really stole the show in her posts were her 4-in-1 frame pendant necklaces, like the one at the left.Here are a few more choice picks from this wonderful jewelry

Hello all! Molly here. I'm excited to be posting here at w.y.g.h., so let's get started!For my birthday back in March, my sister gave me this adorable wood card. When I asked her where she got it, all she could tell me was that she bought it in a stationery store near her college. I loved it to bits, and it's currently framed and hanging in my bedroom.This morning, I was surprised to see the

I really love the colors and subjects in Lauren Minco's work, it's adorably fun and cute. For some reason, I am on a cat & music kick today.

Maybe it was Luna Lovegood's fault, I don't know. But there seems to be a rising popularity or celebration of one of nature's most neglected veggies: the radish. And perhaps a nod to Tom Robbins, I also happen to be craving beets. Or at least fun things featuring the red, typically Russian veggie. In search, I instantly fell for Sweet & Imperfect's Radish Jar, pictured here, along with her other

My landlord finally agreed to let me paint the apartment, and I am extremely excited. This is the first place I have ever lived that I truly feel is my home, regardless of past roommate fiascos and the occasional weird happenings like my recent episodes of stolen mail. I love being exactly where I am, I am comfortable here: between the quaint bookstores, art galleries, and coffee shops of Capitol

Someone from the Good Eats LiveJournal community went searching for Lenore, a glorious round chicken featured prominently on the episode Fry Hard II, and just hanging around Alton Brown's kitchen thereafter. It turns out that hybrid cousins to the great giant chicken Lenore are made by a company called Squishables, and while my kitchen doesn't quite have room for a giant chicken named Lenore,

Since it looks like I'll finally be able to paint this apartment, nearly two years after moving in, I've started looking at options for paint, wall coverings and the like (I'll also be hanging faux-fabric panels, a la Candice Olson). Design*Sponge introduced me to Amy Butler textiles and patterns, and I have since been scouring the internet for her fabrics, as well as fun things made with them.

It's not a secret that I am not the most organized person in the world, nor that I cook very often. If it's just me eating dinner, I can settle for a hot dog. I know, terribly unrefined. But I've started making strides to cook, especially now that my boyfriend has moved here and we can cook together. We've been cutting recipes out of magazines, printing them from web sites, and now that we've

Another Etsy round-up, this time featuring the Russian nesting dolls, aka matryoshka, and garden gnomes. I blame the fact that Amelie is the midnight movie at The Egyptian this weekend. Why yes, we are going, and I am excited! :) I missed the movie's initial theatre run, and shows at the Egyptian are always a blast.Other matryoshka items:  Pear Girl Nesting Doll Note Card Set of Five (bubbledog

Being unemployed gives me a lot of time to shop. Being unemployed gives me no money to buy things, but ah, surfing is the new window-shopping isn't it?
