Here are some shots of the work-in-progress for our family’s costumes. I made my very first one—a parrot!—for Skyler this year, so I really hope it stops raining soon so we can all go out downtown together again. (Davis has such a nice Halloween tradition. Here we are dressed up there, last year.)
Regardless, I can’t wait to see both kids in their costumes! I’ll be sure to share some photos after the weekend.
“The Work We Do” is an interview series that asks creatives with daydream-worthy jobs how they got where they are—and what it’s like to live a day in their shoes. This week, Brooklyn-based artist and textile designer Rebecca Atwood shares her story.
As someone who managed to translate her interests (and considerable talents!) into a successful business, Rebecca is exactly the sort of entrepreneur I am eager to hear from.
In “5 Things,” I ask some of my favorite bloggers in cities all over the country to share insider travel tips on where to eat, shop, stay, and play in their neighborhoods (plus, what to pack to make the adventure complete). This week, Nicole Dula of Dula Notes shares insider tips on Detroit, Michigan.
5 Things: Detroit
Nicole Dula of Dula Notes
It’s hard to put into words what exactly makes Detroit so special, but when you’re there, you just feel it. The sense of community, entrepreneurship, grittiness, hard work, and overall positivity has me visiting as often as I can. Its checkered past has inspired its citizens to take action and start to develop a different story for the city—urban farms, great restaurants, charming shops and creative businesses are popping up seemingly everywhere these days. If you’ve never been or have been away longer than a year or two, it’s time for a visit!
