Craigslisting

Patience is a virtue — one with which I was not blessed. I imagine I'll spend much of my day at JA wondering whether this beautiful campaign baby will still be available when I get home from work...

Someone Get Married!

I'm far away from getting married myself but I've been dying to attend a wedding. Won't someone volunteer? I want all the fun of picking out dresses and flowers and decor without the commitment of actually tying the knot myself. Mostly I'd just like an excuse to take a spin through J.Crew's new Bridal Boutique at 769 Madison Avenue in New York.
Top-to-bottom gorgeousness. The styling of the bookshelves, the clean lines of the brassy desk, the amazing floor detail...
More beautiful built-ins and fabulous flooring.
How stunning is the fur vest over the wedding dress on the left? Genius!
Unexpected blue paint creates a fun little vignette in what appears to be a dressing room. Take me there!

...each with enough room for six or eight to eat comfortably and a fabulous piece of statement artwork that gets the conversation going if the wine doesn't. Which is your favorite?
