First, I’m posting an image… Read more »
I can’t believe we’re in the last stretch of summer. I’m still getting mosquito bites and craving ice-cold lemonade, so it doesn’t feel like summer’s over. Say it ain’t so!! A few months ago, my publisher sent me some Folded & Gathered (F&G) copies of my upcoming book, THE PAPER KINGDOM. Subscribers to my website… Read more »

Three homebodies engaging in three separate activities in the front yard. I’m reading a fun novel (Funny You Should Ask by @elissa_sussman ), @eugene_rhee is bopping to music and @sherwinfrenchie is looking for neighborhood dogs. Haven’t had a lazy weekend in a while, so being at home is wonderful ❤️ Sherwin is in the second photo, and the third photo is my view from the porch 🌸

What a fabulous evening at the Getty last night, celebrating their undergrad internship program. During a college summer many years ago, I was a Getty intern and that experience deepened my love of art & my appreciation for art institutions. What a treat to chat with Professor Mary Miller, who now heads the Getty Research Institute, but was a prof of art history at Yale when I was a student there. Chatting with her & her husband Professor Edward Kamens felt like a “full circle” moment. I was nineteen years old all over again, full of curiosity and wonder. ❤️ #getty #gettymarrow #ilovela...
In honor of #worldchocolateday here are some amazing chocolate concoctions I recently tasted: 1. Pain au chocolat from @ludivine_paris_bakery 2. truffles from @and.sons 3 & 4. choco soufflé on the Big Island + after dinner truffles 5. mint discs from @charbonnel1875 and 6. a video of Sherwin enjoying the croissant part of the pain au chocolat (no choco for him!). I’m a #chocoholic through and through. Anyone else??
