Um. Om.
Like many people, I am trying to remember to breath and be conscious of life and the world around me. Like many people, I enjoy stumbling on reminders.

From recent travels on both coasts of the US. I think I'll be adding a bust to my shopping list.

What did you have for lunch?
Today was a nice change of pace from the typical takeout lunch. The team had a potluck to say thanks to one of our friends who is particularly awesome at his job.
For awesome team potluck I baked bread using the basic recipe from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: http://www.artisanbreadinfive.
Tons of kudos for something quite delicious and easy to do. Shake up your table - you can do it! (Get the book at Amazon.)

Shoe Spotting: Cambridge Edition
With several members of the Digitas Women's Forum, I spent part of my afternoon visiting Cambridge College to participate in the YearUp mock interview program. We spent a few hours interviewing and coaching students who will soon graduate with certificates in finance and IT support. We met smart, talented and driven young people with bright futures ahead.
On the way to the Red Line I encountered these FABULOUS shoes by Poetic License on a very nice young woman named Britta, who laughed, but consented to having her shoes posted on this blog. Sunny day, great pedi, an iced coffee and a random and pleasant shoe encounter. A great day all around!

Shoe Spotting: Special Guest Edition
Special Guest Shoe Spotter Jeff S. sent along this studded gem from the East Village in New York. I was hoping to find out that there was an adorable dog at the end of the red leash which would have reduced my urge to have a Godzilla-sized dude rant about those shoes. Wow, wowza, whoa little buddy - those are a serious no-no for Sunday strolling shoes (unless you are Adam Lambert and there is a re-run of Idol on.) NO. Just no.

Shoe Spotting: Spectacular wedge edition
I generally get heart palpitations when I see high wedges, but co-worker Kate was totally rocking these faux-snakeskin Steve Madden's at bagel table on Friday. I'm not sure I have the coordination to float as gracefully as Kate - but they totally made me wish I did!
And this is why a nice pedi matters! Super sassy!

Shoe Spotting: Alex getting married edition
It's been a while since a pair of shriek-worthy shoes passed my way in the office, but co-worker Alexandra is getting married this summer and her fabulous shoes arrived today. LOVE the color. LOVE the sparkly accessories. SUPER LOVE the classic style. Excellent choice young lady! (And nice pedi too!)
Oh Badgley Mischka, you are so beautiful!

New Bronze Work
Some new bronze work using antique designs from India. These pieces were fired last night and received a light polishing. I haven't finished the polish or applied a patina (or even decided what some of these pieces will be - but the first image is a pair of earrings for me! Bronze on sterling silver wires. This design will definitely make its way to Etsy by this weekend!
A pendant that will probably be hung on a Garnet chain, perhaps some other earrings, a bronze Lakshmi - the others? I don't know yet! Speak to me new bronze!

Music & Happiness
Six months and seven days after I ordered it the Elfman-Burton 25th Anniversary Music Box is finally in my hands. 13 films and a whole lot of history and notes and laughs and photos and foolishness is finally here. It will take a long time drink it all in, but today I am a happy girl.
