My darlings, does anyone know of an available desk at a shared workspace in downtown Manhattan? I've been going a little nutty working from home (and miss having co-workers), so I'm searching for an office to share with other freelancers. Instead of a place where a bunch of different people come and go (like Paragraph or In Good Company), I'm hoping to find a shared office in Manhattan where the same small group of creative people work everyday and have their own dedicated desks (like Swissmiss's great office in Brooklyn).If you know of a shared workspace in Manhattan that might have an available desk, I would be THRILLED to hear (and very grateful to be considered)! Thank you SO much!!! hellojoannagoddard at gmail xoxo
When our friends Jake and Elizabeth started dating, she seemed very guarded, and he worried that she might never fall for him. Looking for encouragement, he asked three of her friends about her, and here were their crazy answers...
Her first friend's answer: "Dude, she's a tough nut to crack."
Her second friend's answer: "She's an uncrackable egg."
Her third friend's answer: "She's an impenetrable fortress."
How hilarious is that? And he had asked them all separately!
Well, against all odds, Jake did woo her, and when they got married last year, my sister gave them a present of these three original commissioned prints by Erin Jang. (See how the nut is cracked, the egg is cracked, and the fortress is open?) How cute is that?

My jaw dropped when I stumbled across this color comparison series, where Miss Moss matches street style photographs with old-school artwork. Bravo!(See many more here.)

Happy New Year, my darlings! I can't believe it's already 2011, can you? It's the future! :) I hope everyone has a wonderful, wonderful year in store, full of unexpected surprises and delights.I'd love to take a quick look back over the past year, which has been a big one...
Last year at this time, we had just announced that we were expecting a baby, and we were only a few days away from finding out that it was a boy. How our lives have changed since then! If you're in the mood to read back through the archives, here are a few posts, which I hope you've enjoyed, about...
Pregnancy, like belly shots, breastfeeding and our birth story...
Babies, like nursery inspiration, baby portraits, and all about Toby...
Photography, like Mick Jagger, bubbles, Paris and kissing...
Food, like banana bites, grilled cheese and cookies...
Weddings, like the perfect ponytail, a backyard affair, and white overalls...
Home decor, like an indoor trapeze, back gardens and our apartment tour...
Art, like an espresso print, painted people, and frame walls...
Design, like book covers, map quilts and animal boxes...
Fashion, like grey trenches, tomboys and autumnal trends...
Beauty, like a Maine perfume, choppy haircuts and tattoos...
Funny things, like tourist lanes and napping adventures and the Leaning Tower of Pisa...
Travel, like an Iceland escape, sea lions, a treehouse hotel, and bicycle rush hour...And a smattering of random other things, like personal posts about my family and marriage, The Shining (re-imagined), Halloween costumes, and a short film that will break your heart.
Thank you again for a wonderful year! I'm so grateful that you're here. Very much looking forward to a fun 2011 together. xoxo
