Hello again..

Hello to my readers - friends & strangers, and sort of to myself as well. I've neglected this blog project for far too long. As a young assistant & junior designer living NYC, this blog served as a dream catcher - a place to store my inspirations and aspirations, and I attended to it diligiently.  Life carries on, and I have been on many great adventures and followed many dreams since then. As I have a tendency to do, I got caught up in the flurry of life, and kept thinking that I would write a post when I could take the time to do it with intention. My life is still an ongoing flurry, but I've realized I'm happiest that way - many projects and plans brewing at once. I'm taking the blog down a notch from the ideal version in my head, or perhaps taking it back to how it was when I began - simply a catch-all for anything and everything I found interesting, without too much thought over themes and consistency, or great writing/photography for that matter. I can't wait to begin sharing again, regularly, about my travels to the south of France & Peru, my six month trek along the Appalachian Trail, letterpress endeavors, new wedding invitations, and the joys of being domestic in a Southern home. 


In somewhat recent news, I got an iPhone this summer (after dropping my previous phone in a waterfall..) and have been delightfully swept up in the Instagram wave. Feel free to follow along there, as I post much more frequently: http://instagram.com/maconyork.
