Miscellaneous Miscellany, wherein YOU + ME* grows by one!

Happy Wednesday! No, no, Elisabeth is still pregnant, but we would like to introduce you to our fabulous new addition, Mary Ellen (another ME!)! Mary Ellen (but you can call her Mary if you want to) wrote us an email a few weeks ago asking if we needed help at about the very second that Elisabeth and I were talking about how we needed help. Her email was witty and well-written, so you can imagine how when she told us that she has a background in both textile design (that's one of her designs above) and culinary arts, we were smitten. She is jumping in to our projects with unparalleled gusto, and friends, I am sure you are going to adore her just as much as we do. Here's a little introduction from Mary (she'll be knockin' your socks off tomorrow with a recipe for those teeny tiny cookies over on Brooklyn Bride!):

I love textiles, patterns and anything in repeat. I'm a pretty big fan of scandinavian art, liberty fabrics and the vibrant colors of central & south america. I am currently trying to overcome my fear of sewing, and attempting to try my hand at embroidery - (and not get pricked in the meantime). I enjoy browsing the new york public library digital image files and various photo blogs. Will travel far out of my way for a good cup of joe, but find it difficult to walk three blocks to do a load of laundry. I ride my bicycle everywhere I can - except when it's this cold out, brrr. Am a native New Yorker but I consider Copenhagen, London and Barcelona to be my adoptive cities. Obviously, I enjoy cooking and baking. Very passionate about foreign languages and cultures. I spend an hour every week volunteering at the International Center, teaching conversational English. Both rewarding, and fun!

I KNOW, right? She's the best. Here are some other things that are making me happy this week:

Oooh, and be sure to check out this month's internet crushes, which is our version of a well-curated blog roll. Because let's face it, if we listed all of our internet crushes, we'd have to include all of you! Have a wonderful day, friends, and we'll see you back here again real soon!
