somebody stop me!

Hi, my name is Annie and I am a blog addict. It seems I just can't stop adding new ones.

After admiring so many others' I gave in and started a catalog of my favorite home-related photos, ideas, recipes, and quotes. It's really just a digital place for me to put all those things that I used to tear out of magazines + put into files + then forget. The tumblr platform doesn't even accept comments but feel free to visit if you'd like to see the clips.  Or not.  It's called Gather.  And it's all about hygge and you know how I like my hygge.

You're probably wondering "what's next? a blog documenting Annie's breathing patterns? a catalog of her grocery receipts? her ideas for sculpting with dryer lint?" and to that I say, Maybe.  I don't rule these things out.  (I really am considering one more: a child development-dedicated site. What? I can stop anytime I want.  Really.)

Meanwhile, I'm heading off to meet a lovely friend for lunch. {Actually Chrissi was my sister's friend growing up (and Matt's, too)} We caught up with each other again when we lived near each other in DC a few years ago and now she and her family are in Connecticut at Yale for a year.  She's an amazing photographer (see below); if you live in the area & are looking for someone to take some great photos, send her a note.  And her husband's a psychiatrist in the military so--who knows?--maybe they'll be headed close to you next.

Should you ever start a collection of your dryer lint sculptures or amass your grocery store receipts, have no fear that someone would be there reading every day. Me.

Gorgeous photos. Love the train one especially. Have fun at lunch!

Luckily I'm addicted to reading blogs. I'm always looking for new material.

Gather is like a cool new magazine

Blogs make the world go 'round. Instead of a 12 step program, I'll just add 12 more blogs to my reader.

I just kirtsy-ed Gather, because it is lovely and everyone should stop by. I hope they do!

Oh, Annie
I just caught up on all your recent blog entries and they just make me: happy, contemplative, laugh, cry, meditate, hungry for more, appreciative of your gift with words, grateful that you are MINE! I'm a luvaluvaluvaluva you.

I will follow every single one! Really.

I would love for you to start a child development blog. Please?!

[Anna]

When I grow up I hope to write a very interesting blog like my friend Annie. I will always be back to read your inspiring words.

Wow, that second photo is magazine worthy. Love it!

LOVE IT. But it's killing me that I can't leave comments. I'll just comment twice here everyday.
