I’m in Toronto, checking off a few Lovely Life List items. Crossing the Canadian border… check. Giving a keynote speech… that’s happening tomorrow at BlogPodium. I’m excited (and a smidge nervous)!
I’ll be taking Monday off to spend some time with my family after being away this Memorial Day weekend, so I’ll be back here Tuesday. In the meantime, here are the things that have made this week’s Honor Roll.
-
Vanity Fair has rereleased their Impossible Interviews from the 1930s as on online exclusive.
p.s. I feel like this series is their modern counterpart: short imagined dialogues. -
This garden shed designed by Orla Kiely is as cute as you’d expect.
-
What’s that you say? You haven’t yet had your fill of Orla? Oh, all right. Here you go!
-
Comma rules rule. I like to think that my grammar is pretty solid, but I picked up a few things.
-
“You only need one confetti [ring] to remember the party.”
-
I want two Clump-O-Lumps. One each for Eleanor and August.
Plus, two is just way more fun. Gotta mix ’em up! -
Turn your recycling into truly recycled toys. Clever!
There are some cute stickers to be had here, but I also got a lot of crafty project ideas.

May 26, 2012 at 10:12 amI appreciate the grammar lesson! I’ve left a comment in the past commending you on your outstanding grammar. It’s very refreshing! There’s nothing more distracting than reading an otherwise good blog that is littered with grammatical errors (from both the blogger and readers). It’s so important and it’s increasingly becoming a lost art!

May 27, 2012 at 1:20 pmOh that’s funny, we’re just back from Toronto … also ticking a few things off my life list!!! Really wish I was still there a) we’d still be on holiday, and b) I would looooove to have seen you speak at BlogPodium – I’m sure you rocked it :o) … maybe one day you’ll make it over the pond to the UK to keynote here (perhaps you could add that to your life list ;o)
