Alice Pattullo

Came across illustrator and print maker Alice Pattullo the other day. Her work ranges in use, but always has the same layering and feel. Controlled sometimes, but most of the time she really utilizes every space to create an organized chaos and in some cases, a message. Check out more of her work here.

a nice visit & post by “52 MEALS.”

from the author (emily berman) of the blog 52 MEALS: “I’m going to challenge myself to have one dinner party a week for a year. Starting January 01, 2012, I will cook at least one meal a week for someone other than myself, Craig, and Henry. The “dinner party” can be any kind of meal from breakfast to cocktails, it can be at my house or off-site, from one dinner guest to twelve, as long as I’m cooking.  And there must be at least one a week (hopefully there will be more), and I have to keep it up all…

Cooking at Camp

When I think of camp, one of the first things I think about is packing snacks and treats. Camp is a great excuse to return my childhood days of string cheese, hot dogs, gummy worms and ice cream sandwiches. But I’ve gained some wisdom in my later years. While those candies and snacks are fun and easy, they’re missing out of the fun of actually making the food. My trips to camp now hinge on local farmers markets and delis, acting as fresh food outposts before we head far away from town and into the country. Whether these places are…

Fancy Movie Folks Have Camp Weddings Too!

Pardon me if I’m getting dangerously close to “Celebrities: They’re Just Like Us!” territory, but I saw on the morning news that Matthew McConaughey recently got married and he and his bride did it up camp-style. There were games set up all over their “yard” in Austin, TX, hammocks were hung from trees for relaxing and 47 luxury tents were used for sleeping. The tents were decked out with beds, white fur rugs and outdoor seating with doormats.  While Googling this fancy schmancy camp wedding, I saw that Matthew (in addition to appearing shirtless on camera more often than not) had a vintage…

NEW CAMP FRIEND: Megan Bassett

a couple of weekends ago – at our annual TALKA party-  we were sitting in the camp messhall (kitchen) having some beers. the door flys open and this vivcious blonde bounces and and proclaims ‘i am meghan and i want to be friends with all of you!’. we loved here instantly. turns out, meghan works for subaru, and was on a cross-country promotional campaign that sends her packing, bicycling, trekking everywhere, including in this case- Milwaukee. she said that her 80 year old grandmother had found this blog, sent it to her- and so when i came time to make…
