Blog Walking Result #1 : Pretty Origami Heart Bookmarks

Blog Walking has been my hobby for a few years now, well basically since I've started blogging in 2007. I blog-walk mostly to the creative arts and crafts, fashion & cooking blogs. There are so many creative people out there with so many creative ideas that always amazed me.
Last weekend I found this very nice blog with a very cute name: HowAboutOrange that posted an origami tutorial making a cute bookmarks (tutorial link here).
So today I made my own bookmarks from left over christmas gift wrapping papers.
Here they are:

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

  I love the bookmarks, they are so cute and functional.

 

I hope you like them too. Thank you for reading!

 

A Visit to "Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture" and A Memorable Dinner

This post was originally written in November 2012. I was writing it when the power suddendly went out due to damages from the hurricane Sandy. Then I was too busy doing lots of thing for the holiday and almost forget about this post. So I rewrote and finished it today. Here it is ...

Sunday before the hurricane Sandy hit the north east, we went to the Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture in Pocantico Hills, NY. We were invited for a special lunch-dinner by my stepson at the Blue Hill at the Stone Barn Restaurant which is located in the same place. He works there as a sous chef.

We came early so we have time to walk around the farm, barn and the center's building. The place is just beautiful.
