Have you discovered Ashley Maury Jewelry yet? It is sculptural and organic, simple and elegant. Not to mention just plain gorgeous. Every time I wear one of her pieces people compliment me on how beautiful and unique it is, and I love being able to say that a friend made it.

Maury Annual Studio Show and Open House
I mentioned the Maury Annual Studio Show and Open House last week (I hope you got a chance to go!), and stopped by for a visit this weekend. It’s one of my favorite early winter traditions, and I never fail to leave without something beautiful to take home. This year I picked out a bright turquoise bowl that is the perfect accent color for my living room bookcases.
Because Toni, Ashley, and Scott are some of my favorite local artists, I’m going to do a separate post for each one of them. First up, Toni!
Fashion is for the Dogs
Or at least, it was last night at Second Run.
Grover and I missed the 7th Annual Dog Fashion Show, much to my disappointment (and probably his elation…if only he knew what I someday hope to subject him to, he would never cuddle with me again!) but I did swing by before it started to snap a quick photo of Gizmo, resident Second Run dog, and master of fashion (you don’t think he posed next to that color coordinating feed bucket bag from Dooney & Burke by accident, do you? He is one clever canine, and such a cutie!).
Pottery for Sale, Tomorrow!
I love pottery. I think it’s the perfect blend of function and art. The best part is using it every day and admiring the colors, patterns, and textures, knowing that someone made it by hand. I have a collection at home of mugs from various places around the country (mostly Alaska, from our local potters) and beautiful plates and bowls that were wedding gifts.
Cozy Toes with SmartWool
It’s been COLD outside.
But today, I tromped around in cute leather boots (designed for said cuteness, not warmth) and my toes were warm the entire time. I fully credit my awesome SmartWool socks.
Spenard Roadhouse
Spenard Roadhouse is one of my favorite restaurants. I love the food, the décor, and pretty much the entire warm, lively vibe of the place. Plus, it’s all served up with a huge dose of fun.
Pure Alaska Mellifera Honey
Now that I’m basically a honey expert (hah), I’ve been seeing honey everywhere! And tasting it whenever I can.
Love Note: Free Hugs
I was walking home the other night, and encountered these two, offering free hugs.
