welcome

fleurishing-blog

 

I am so thrilled to introduce you to my new site! After three years of blogging, it was in need of a major makeover. Thanks to the talented team of Curious + Co. Creative, it now better reflects my aesthetic and highlights my content so beautifully. I hope you will take a moment to check out the new features, including long overdue social media updates, and a new services page showing what I do beyond blogging. I want to express my sincere gratitude for those who have followed my journey along the way, and to new readers…hello! Thank you all for sharing this new chapter with me! I just have to mention my latest vintage acquisition shown above…a 1948 Royal Quiet DeLuxe. It just so happens that this model was one that Ernest Hemingway had an affection for, and I look forward to its analog inspiration! Be sure to check back on monday for the first of THREE huge giveaways next week…there will be something for everyone. Bon weekend!

blogshop prelude

blogshop-philly

I am SO delighted to be participating in Blogshop this weekend…and look what I can do! What may seem simple to many of you is new to me, and it’s about time I learn. At times I wonder how I’ve been blogging for 3 years without having this knowledge. It’s only day one and I am bursting with excitement-I just had to put some of my new skills to use immediately (yes, I’m a NERD). Stay tuned for a full recap!

the paris journal

paris

The Paris Journal is the latest sensational project from the talented duo Nichole + Evan Robertson, aka Obvious State. A visually stunning photographic journey through the city of light, the first volume takes you through Montmartre, from morning to night. It feels as if you are there, and images delightfully come to life! It’s a dream for any francophile, especially a diehard one like me. You can download the free preview HERE. I’m wiping the drool off my iPad, and cannot wait for volume two-well done guys!
