Well, I’m both happy and sad to report that we have officially moved away from Cambridge/Boston. We are living in Dover, Delaware for about a year while my husband clerks for a judge here – then off to Manhattan as planned.
Delaware is beautiful (especially the beaches) and the people are genuine. I think it’s going to be a great year.
My husband is busy studying for the New York bar, day and night. The girls are obsessed with the family of bunnies living in our new backyard. And I am equally obsessed with unpacking boxes, organizing and decorating.
I’m also busy preparing for a big blog update. I can’t wait to show you all. I think it will look great and I’m confident the aesthetic changes to the blog will inspire me to post more often again!
Speaking of decor posts – my friend emailed me pictures of some furniture and things she inherited from her Grandmother recently. She wasn’t sure what to do with some of the items.
Look at all these cool glass bottles she got! I think these would be great candidates for this Martha project, where you use a squirt bottle to coat the inside of bottles with glass enamel (available at all craft stores). I suppose you could use any color enamel, but using white really makes for a beautiful mix of pale blues and greens depending on the color of the bottle’s glass.
Makes me want to go to the thrift store this minute to look for random glassware.
Welcome to your new home! love the assortment of bottles… and the Martha flower ones are fantastic!
Welcome back! Can't wait for the update and what a cool project!
Hi. I've never commented before but I missed your updates and hoped that all was well with your move.

Check out Longwood Gardens in PA, it shouldn't be too far from where you are. It's beautiful! They do themes throughout the year and the holidays are pretty spectacular.
I'll be studying for a bar exam myself in about a year, so I can understand how frenzied your husband's studying efforts must be! Sounds like you're settled in to a lovely new hom, and I love the Martha bottle project idea! Fun blog!
Congrats on everything! And how exciting that you will be moving to ny in the near future.

I'm so glad to see you on the blog! I can't wait for your future Delaware posts. I am still trying to cope with you guys being gone. It is such a blow to the neighborhood. Josh and I agree that a trip to Dover is definitely in the works. I love that bottle painting idea. The blues and whites look so pretty.
Hi! I am so glad your move went well and you are enjoying Delaware!! You seem to have the ability to make any where you are wonderful. I have been to a number of European flea markets lately and always thought of you! :)
