Sparrows & Spatulas: July 2014
http://sparrowsandspatulas.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 30, 2014. Travelogue: portugal pastéis (pastel) de nata. Let the boys spend quality time with their grandparents and extended family for 8 days, while Matt and I traveled to Lisbon. Though the frequent-flier-non-direct route to Portugal seemed a little bit silly and a smidge inconvenient (NY. Lisbon), the multiple stops without. The boys really didn’t seem like a big deal. Besides, I had so many magazines to catch up on and books to read too! It sounded like the perfect plan. Though there...

Sparrows & Spatulas: friday favorites: wallpaper, 2.0
http://sparrowsandspatulas.blogspot.com/2015/07/friday-favorites-wallpaper-20.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. Friday favorites: wallpaper, 2.0. Our home is an historic structure, built in1895, the year Grover Cleveland was President and serving out his second non-consecutive term. I often find myself thinking about the people who lived here. I wonder about the Colorado women of the 1890s who occupied our space. What did they read? Did they spend time in mountains over long weekends? Gather around the fireplace? Look up at the stars? Garden or discuss politics? Raise a family here? Urban Ch...

Friday, October 24, 2014. I'm not sure if it's because I'm the daughter of two mathematicians, or because I'm fascinated by honeycombs, but my obsession with hexagons (the coolest geometric shape) is at an all time high!

Sparrows & Spatulas: denver's avanti food & beverage (it's a winner!)
http://sparrowsandspatulas.blogspot.com/2015/07/denvers-avanti-food-beverage-its-winner.html
Monday, July 13, 2015. Denver's avanti food and beverage (it's a winner! There was this game I played when I was a teenager. It went something like, “If you were stranded on a desert island, name three things you would take with you.” Everyone always included something to eat, which made sense because you wouldn’t want to starve, would you? I haven’t been asked that question in years, but if I did have to come up with an answer, a Venezuelan arepa from Quiero Arepas. Which bills itself as: “. A noddle an...

Sparrows & Spatulas: November 2014
http://sparrowsandspatulas.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 7, 2014. Friday favorites: glass objects. That I'm a huge fan of glass, so much so that 7 years ago I enrolled in a glassblowing class at Urban Glass in Brooklyn. Unfortunately I never really got the hang of it - trust me, it's harder than it looks- and all I was left with, after months of practice and hard work, was a few sad looking vessels that have almost no practical functionality. 1 Matterhorn Glasses by Tale Design. 2 Table by Glas Italia. 3 GlassMount for Bomma. 9 Luxe Carafe Set.

Sparrows & Spatulas: Bio
http://sparrowsandspatulas.blogspot.com/p/bio.html
Thanks for joining me here…. A little bit about me. I love traveling, photography, hiking, street art, design, architecture, food trucks, gardening, the cosmos, cooking with the seasons, politics and wallpaper! I know, my interests span a variety of categories. I’m a New York City native (5th generation! The writing is odd, my "voice" is off, and the photography…yikes, bright sunlight! Where does the name come from? I chose Sparrows Spatulas because, well, I love birds ("put a bird on it! And I think of ...

Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Saguaro national park ( hello again). I know, it’s been a really long time. About 7 months, give or take.a lengthy absence, which in the online world usually translates into blog death. But what can I say? Anyway, here we are and 2015 is already halfway over….
