Category Archives: inspiration Happy Friday to you. I’m really excited about this post. I hope you like it. I remember the first time I saw MilK Magazine. It was about four years ago and I was in my local coffee shop – that incidentally has an incredible collection of international magazines. Something caught my eye on the very...

Thanks for the reply, Erika! I just checked the links and they work but perhaps they don’t work because you are in a different language. I used the google translate links. Hmm…Let me find the links for you, sorry! Again, thanks for the comment and lovely work. Your ‘rock around the clock’ video is cute!

oh my! I looove this! I love this magazine as well, so inspiring! Great interview! Thanks for this…ah, the first 2 links are not working ;-( The part which says: “You can meet everybody online, here.” and also the part: “We’ve also got an online version of the magazine, here.”

what a great post, I just found your blog and wanted to let you know it looks great!

It is a small staff by our standards. I think we’d have more magazines in business if they paired down a bit.

What a fantastic article. Such a professional magazine with only 12 people on staff. That is astonding. That would never fly in the states. Right?

My niece would love this line, too. Thanks for the comment, Janine.

I absolutely love her line for kids. There’s a few things I want to buy for my nieces lol.  These are sweet and kids would love them. I just discovered the work of The Giharakeitarou on the Japanese website Gallery Speak For. The have a unique selection of paintings, drawings, clothing, goods, and books. If you don’t read Japanese make sure you view through Google translate. p.s. If you’re in San Francisco or planning... by Sarah 2 comments

Thanks, Hillary. It’s always good to know what worked for people. I’m also printing a bunch of articles from the NYTimes…feels like something my dad would do.

These are my favorites (although I do like wallpaper): http://eatshopguides.com/buy/ The Paris one is from June of last year. I also like this series: http://www.thamesandhudsonusa.com/series/stylecity.htm But I think THAT Paris one is from ’08 – way old.  Happy Monday to you! This past weekend my friend Lauren and I hosted a vintage circus-themed baby shower for our dear friends Tara and Matt in Santa Barbara. Lauren and I are not huge fans of the traditional games and gift-opening that happens at baby showers (sorry!). And we knew that Tara and Matt simply... by Sarah 7 comments

Thanks for the comment, Jody. I’m not sure how fabulous my life is but it’s definitely fun. 
April 12, 2011 - 10:44 am
You seem to lead such a fabulous and fun life. Personally, I’m not a fan of games or present opening. I find it all embarrassing, boring and “forced”. I’d rather just hang out with friends, eat, and drink (well… when not pregnant).
April 11, 2011 - 2:53 pm
Haha! That’s a great site, Hillary! Some of these trends get exhausting. Too bad a lot of them are good ideas. The world is moving so fast though, hard to get genuinely fresh ideas.
April 11, 2011 - 2:50 pm
I think it all depends on the crowd – both in terms of games and present-opening. At some showers, everyone knows each other, but at others the guests are from different groups of friends so giving people something to do is a good idea. Photobooths, fake moustaches, bunting…reminds me of this: http://www.eastsidebride.com/2011/03/pop-quiz-how-many-wedding-trends-can.html
April 11, 2011 - 2:20 pm
Wow. Thanks for the long comment, Hillary! We were going to do a photo booth but honestly I’m a little over the photo booths (at least for a little while). I know they are fun but I’ve seriously done a million of them since 2006 and just didn’t have the stamina. Using an instant camera would have been fun though so it becomes an immediate gift to the parents-to-be.

I have thrown several baby showers in the past year. We opened presents at 2 of those. One wanted to and one’s mom strong-armed them into it. Themes, plus games/activities below… - – - – - SHOWER 1: kind of like retro-kid – a little circus-y we played mini games but they were almost more of a joke: we had a baby toss game (like Bozo’s Bucket Bonanza – buckets with a 1-2-3 on them and a handful of plastic babies); we had pin-the-baby-on-the-Daniels (our friend did an illustration of the couple and you were blindfolded and had to stick a baby on the poster); and a guess-how-many ___ in the jar (there were animal crackers, army men and something else…gummi bears?). we also did this activity: http://www.rachelleonard.com/my_right_brain/2009/09/baby-shower-craft-projects.html SHOWER 2: had a woodland theme we didn’t have games – the only real activities were drawing a leaf (which i’m still supposed to make into a poster) and writing in a little guestbook. we also had plant favors and gave everyone a woodland name (like Hedgehog Hillary). SHOWER 3: was a english tea party (this was for sara and george) we had a quiz where everyone guessed who-said-what between the two of them (bad game though b/c every answer george gave me was SO obviously him and not sara). i think that might be all we did…? they opened presents. I have TONS of good photos of the woodland one (on my flickr) and a few crappy photos of the others (which I’d have to dig up) if you are interested in seeing them. Oh, and we had photobooths at all 3. |

Ah, the video is the “making of” of an editorial that I shot recently! I didn’t produce it, it was a video producer, partner of mine. The complete editorial will be soon on the blog. I’m enjoying shooting editorials, it’s fun right!
