Hella Wicked: January 2013

Uh. How about this? How about my 2013 resolution is to better about blogging.

Ok, now that that's been said. I'll do it: I'll be better about blogging. But not before I apologize for being absolutely awful at it for the past four months.

Let's start with the fall in New England. I have to admit that this little quaint region of the world is starting to grow on me. Autumn brought new decorating to the apartment and a trip to go leaf peeping. Both of which caused me fall deeper and deeper "in like" with Boston.

The apartment redecorating was a huge step in my making Boston as much of a home as possible. It's now filled with art from SF AND New England, lots of textures and different materials. My sense of style is a hodgepodge and my home now reflects that.

Stripes! Chevron! Wood! Metal! Glass!

OH MY!

The 48 star flag was a gift from my brother.

He found it at the Alameda Flea Market in the Bay.

Here's a sampling of my bike posters.

All of these came from ArtCrank - an poster party I showed in for three years in SF.

Don't call me pumpkin, Pumkin'.

So now let's talk about Leaf Peeping (yes - we're gonna make this a proper noun)! My parents came East for a week to explore New England during the fall with me. It was wonderful. We drove north to Vermont, stopping and exploring in little towns along the way. We then looped back via North Adams and the Mass MOCA, staying at The Porches Inn. Between the museum and the absolutely adorable hotel, I'd say Western Mass has a lot to offer. We then scooted down to Stockbridge to visit the Normal Rockwell Museum and soak up a little Americana.

The leaves were a little disappointing, but the scenery, food, pumpkin beer and company all made up for it. Can't wait to do it all again next fall.
