One of the best things about living in Upstate NY is the proximity to the greatest cities in the North East US. Nothing excites me more than the prospect of hopping in our car and having a huge list of amazing places we could end up in just a couple of hours. And maybe the […]

Have y’all jumped on the lemon water bandwagon? I’ll readily admit that I am a fad follower. If I see something that seemingly takes the internet by storm and it costs less than $10 to try it, chances are I’m running out to get whatever mystery items I need to cure whatever it is that has […]

6 Reasons Why This Should Be a Part of Your Life! appeared first on Palmer Street Press.

It’s Saturday so I’m just one day shy of being too late for this week’s #52handlettered project! The prompt for this week was ‘everyday essentials’ and it didn’t take me very long to pick mine. I think I could get along okay on a desert island as long as I have some coffee and mascara […]

A friend of ours was over at our place on the weekend and he happened to be wearing sweater that was pretty close in color to Marsala, the Pantone Color of the Year for 2015. Me, being the weirdo for these sorts of things, decided I should inform him of how on trend he is. […]

Just stopping in to post my crack at Week 2 of the 52 Hand Lettered Project. You can check out the deets of this project in last week’s submission, or check out pen + peplum for more info! This week’s prompt is a summer love list. This week has been particularly cold in NY (it’s […]

You could almost guarantee that I have a Burt’s Bees product within 5 feet of me at any given time. I have epically dry skin and lips and can get into a frenzy if I’m looking for a moisturizer and can’t find it. Lip chap/gloss also seems to suffer the same fate as pens – […]

Today is the day I finally crawled out of my Christmas haze and have decided to step (one cautious) foot into the real world. Done are the days of no plans, no pants and no nutritional value in anything I eat. That is until New Years where all bets will be off, again. Matt and […]

I realize there are only few precious shopping days left before Christmas and I am wayyyyy behind on this 2014 gift guide. And I also realize I’m like the 203428324th blog to put together one of these suckers. So just incase all the other gift guides out there have you still searching for the perfect […]

Happy Monday! After a busy weekend in Canada celebrating my Mom’s birthday, Matt and I got back home this afternoon with a big pile of work waiting for us. I don’t think either of us are complaining. Busy is good. I’m back to the Weekly Wishes link up after missing out last week. Let’s review my […]

Please tell me that you’ve seen/loved/obsessed over Marcel the Shell. It’s just the cutest web series there is. And probably the only “web series” I watch. This little guy comes to you courtesy of former SNL’er and current Mona Lisa on Parks and Rec, Jenny Slate, and her partner Dean Fliesher-Camp. The long awaited Part 3 […]

Happy Wednesday! I finally feel like I’m back to business as usual after a couple of hectic weeks. Matt and I just got back home after our Thanksgiving celebrations with my family in Canada. (A perk of a Can-Am relationship: two Thanksgivings every year! I will never say no to that.) As always, I have […]

Just stopping in to relay a message about my pants. Exciting stuff, right? I just returned from my weekly daily trip to target and came back with these puppies below: (Note, this is not a a sponsored post and there are no affiliate links.

Count me in as one of the people that agrees that fall is the best season. I think there are a lot of reasons I feel this way. The change in temperature, the introduction of pumpkin into every single food item ever created, adding extra blankets to the bed – it’s all good! And don’t […]

Ah, here it is! Palmer Street Press’ inaugural post. (Are you allowed to use that phrase for things definitely not presidential in nature? Question for the ages.) Let me tell you a bit about why this little blog sprang up and what’s in store. I’m Gillian. (Soft G, like giraffe.) I’m a full-time designer and […]
