Two Chairs Series by Artist Leah Giberson

These archival prints by Leah Giberson say so much in such a quiet way--like they're evidence of awkward conversations that have recently finished. Or the setup for intense talks that are just about to begin.

Taking a Shower

Bite-size grilled cheese sandwiches with shots of tomato soup. Chunky chicken salad on baked mini-pitas. Nutella-infused ravioli. And goodness gracious, homemade lollipops so pretty you almost don't want to eat them (my new obsession!).

If baby showers could receive awards, the one I just attended in North Carolina would be polishing its gold medal right about now. It was in honor of one of my best friends--a woman who is near and dear to my heart for a thousand reasons. And after this weekend, I am counting among those reasons the fact that she has other best friends who can throw a mean--and I mean MEAN--party for a lovely lady who's about to have a baby.

Now, this was a chic shower that meant serious SERIOUS business. But want to know the most gorgeous part of the whole shebang? Every morsel of the food, every inch of the decor--every ribbon on every gift--was prepared with love. And that made this shower one that surrounded my friend with reminders that she really does have everything she needs to raise a little one: family who will travel any distance to support her, friends ready and excited to lend a hand, access to people who've been there before, and a not one, but two, brand-spankin'-new diaper genies.

Four ornaments you’ll have to explain to your grandparents

(However, you can avoid the confusion all together if you simply place them on the back of the tree before Maw-Maw and Pop-Pop stop by.) (Just sayin'.)

Not in THIS house, young lady

If my grandma could work the Internet and see that I am using this post to tell the whole wide world-wide-web world that Glasgow artist David Shrigley's Salt and Pepper Shakers (available stateside at the Future Perfect pop-up store in Chelsea Market) make me laugh, she'd slap that silly right off my face, missy.
