So happy to start the new year out right with an interview on one of my favorite blogs, <a href="http://la-mignonette.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-conversation-with-siri-thorson-from.html" target="_blank">La Mignonette</a>.

On Monday, as the nation shivered and cussed its way through a hard case of the blues, I celebrated not being in New York and ordered four bare-root rose bushes. Haters are going to hate, but say what you will about David Austin - the man can name a rose. "<a href="http://www.davidaustinroses.com/american/showrose.asp?showr=4251" target="blank">A Shropshire Lad</a>", "<a href="http://www.davidaustinroses.com/american/showrose.asp?showr=6835" target="blank">The Lark Ascending</a>" and "<a href="http://www.davidaustinroses.com/american/showrose.asp?showr=3486" target="blank">Tess of the d'Urbervilles</a>" made it to the top of a list that also included "<a href="http://www.davidaustinroses.com/american/showrose.asp?showr=4902" target="blank">Eglantyne</a>", "<a href="http://www.davidaustinroses.com/american/showrose.asp?showr=6026" target="blank">Fighting Temeraire</a>" and "<a href="http://www.davidaustinroses.com/american/showrose.asp?showr=5928" target="blank">Lady of Shallot</a>" to mention just a few. "<a href="http://www.starrosesandplants.com/plants/look-likes-bougainfeelya" target="blank">BougainFeelYa</a>" and "<a href="http://www.waysidegardens.com/golden-showers-yellow-rose/p/45017/" target="blank">Golden Showers</a>" may smell just as sweet, but I'm a lady who enjoys a little romance in her life.

In summation: my dear friends, I couldn't possibly say it any better than Georgie Boy, so why don't I just let him <a href="http://youtu.be/T9hSpijwWCY" target=blank>do the talking</a>.Ringo, have a banana!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06486488683677625984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636775030742211546.post-6621461560422626782013-02-04T00:10:00.001-05:002013-02-06T17:29:41.286-05:00THE SUN IS COMING<img alt="18560003" height="530" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8427/7654786300_33ce62b9fb_c.jpg" width="800" />

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">It was 10°F when I landed in New York. That was almost two weeks ago; it was cold then and it is cold now and I have had just about enough, thank you but no thank you. More than the temperature though, what I am missing most right now is color. All these soft, watery winter sunsets have lost their charm. Entire meals have become based around ghostly white vegetables produced from the bowels of my refrigerator: turnips, kholrabi, daikon, shriveled parsnips and pithy knobs of celeriac.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Give me a fresh Rainier cherry and a bundle of glossy, fragrant tarragon and summer squash filled up with sweet yellow sunshine. Give me a fat chicken and a red pot and a bottle of cold white wine. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">P.S. I've done an interview with Zoé, and it's on her wonderful blog <a href="http://sheswildatheart.blogspot.com/2012/12/west-coast-born-and-bred-siri-thorsons.html" target="_blank">Wild at Heart</a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">We made it!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'm off home to Washington for the next two weeks to recuperate from a December that knocked me senseless. Going to see my mountains and my ocean and all the best beasts of fur and feather. I'm bringing along some black and white film for a change - it's been a long while since I had Tri-X in the chamber, and I'm excited.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I had so much fun styling the Fall 2012 lookbook for <a href="http://www.bowsandbandits.com/" target="_blank">Bows & Bandits Vintage</a>, shot by <a href="http://jacobpritchard.com/" target="_blank">Jacob Pritchard</a>. A mix of new, vintage and pieces from my own wardrobe, I like to call this look "outfits I wish I was wearing right now." Many thanks to our gorgeous model Rachel who brought us amazing gluten-free chocolate chip cookies she had baked herself, and to the whole fantastic team who let me play dress-up all day and call it "work."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Ok so maybe I'm procrastinating. Dragging my feet a little. Eking out the summertime memories here. I don't think anyone would blame me, but just in case, I did have some excuses planned for you (last weekend I was in Connecticut, the weekend before I was in Istanbul. Truly strange but truly true!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">But forget all that. Because honestly, in my mind's eye, I hope I will always be right here on this beach, on this gentle August evening, ginger beers that would become dark and stormies gently rolling in surf, with <a href="http://rootstrata.com/rootblog/?p=1554" target="_blank">this on the tapedeck</a> and sand up to my ankles and nothing left to do but build a bonfire and watch the sun going down, over the ocean, as it should be, for ever and always.</span>Ringo, have a banana!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06486488683677625984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636775030742211546.post-85103427864345731392012-10-03T02:52:00.000-04:002012-10-03T02:56:22.046-04:00UP THE MOUNTAIN<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/whenwewereyoung/8049545409/in/photostream/" target="_blank" title="Untitled by ...whenwewereyoung, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="497" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8037/8049577949_715a179fa7_b.jpg" width="750" /></a><br />

Time after time I walk down that same dirt road and along the curves of that same well-worn footpath, and time after time, coming 'round that final bend, the view never fails to catch me off guard. You can't help but get a little still, a little stupefied. There's just so damn much of it. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">It is absolutely incomprehensible to me that it has been two whole months since my plane touched down on West Coast soil, two months since the sweetest two and a half weeks of my 2012. Maybe because I think about these places and those people so often each day that, in my mind, I've never ever left.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">In a history of fine island summers, I'd say this was definitely one for the books. The finest visitors, the finest reggae mix tapes, the best berry picking and the very best and most adorable lighthouse docent I ever did meet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I took three big fat rolls of photos this trip, and these are from one of the first orders of business we got down to: our annual boat camping trip. Mom, Dad, Dag, Dog and I all piled into the Albin and set sail for our favorite spot. We ate hot dogs and fried our spuds up with fresh rosemary and garlic and gathered feathers in our hatbands and slept outside so we could watch for shooting stars. Our own Moonrise Kingdom.</span>Ringo, have a banana!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06486488683677625984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636775030742211546.post-79214937084140495202012-09-20T02:46:00.000-04:002012-09-24T06:35:53.759-04:00JUST A SUMMER'S DAY<img alt="Untitled" height="497" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8307/8005359954_6742337434_o.jpg" width="750" />

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Summer is the city is not my idea of a good time, but every once in a while it has its perks. On this particular summer's day, we cashed in a year's worth of collected change and walked out of TD Bank a cool $52.00 richer. We blew it all on fancy French cookies, cold salmon, cucumber salad, and an hour and a half spent <a href="http://www.messingaboutinboats.com/" target="_blank">messing about in boats</a> on the Lake in Central Park. </span><br />

Three days after my birthday, we left for a light speed tour of Scandinavia: Stockholm, Borlänge, Oslo, Trondheim, Bergen or bust in five sleep deprived days. It's all a little blurry, but here's what I remember:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Sunshowers in Stockholm--roses in a churchyard and eating fried herring wraps in the rain. The hands-down best Best Western I've ever stayed in, and fields of wild lupine splashing the green, grassy roadsides in pink, purple and blue. Late afternoon in Oslo, the sun setting slant-wise through the trees at Akershus Castle. Landing at the airport outside of Trondheim and feeling a wild, northerly feeling I've had once or twice before while slipping through some dark Inside Passage-way aboard a ferry boat bound for Alaska. We dined royally that night on roast Reindeer and cloudberry parfaits inside an 18th century smithy, inside the walls of a city that celebrated its 1000th anniversary all the way back in 1997. Glowering clouds over beautiful Bergen, its row of red, white and green wharf houses in a permanent state of Christmastime cheer. Best of all: finally finding a country that's named something truly worthwhile after me. </span>Ringo, have a banana!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06486488683677625984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636775030742211546.post-47422049865244645852012-08-23T13:00:00.002-04:002012-08-23T19:17:17.673-04:00GOT A GIRL CRUSH ON: ERIN CONSIDINE<img alt="Erin Considine" height="497" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8289/7845258868_ce719843fe_o.jpg" width="750" />

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">It's been HOT HOT HOT here, and all I can think about since we got back from our travels is getting OUT OUT OUT of this city again, fast. Instead, I spend the worst parts of each day shut up in the bedroom (the only room in the house that has sweet, sweet AC) seeking refuge from concrete sidewalks that radiate waves of garbage-infused heat and a kitchen and livingroom hot enough to make me weep salty, sweaty tears. </span><br />

I'm spending three days a week as the Web Content Editor for <a href="http://dearfieldbinder.com/" target="_blank">Dear Fieldbinder</a>, a boutique in Carroll Gardens here in Brooklyn. That means I write the copy for their <a href="http://dearfieldbinder.com/" target="_blank">online store</a>, as well as contributing to <a href="http://dearfieldbinder.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">their blog</a>, <a href="http://pinterest.com/dearfieldbinder/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dear-Fieldbinder/118131781530741" target="_blank">Facebook</a></span>--so if things get a little quiet around here, chances are I'm cooking up something over Dear Fieldbinder way.<br />
<br />
On the particular afternoon pictured above, I played dress-up in a few summery pieces from the shop for a little shoot showcasing DF's recent collaboration with jewelry line <a href="http://dearfieldbinder.com/index.php/nettie_kent" target="_blank">Nettie Kent</a>. It took a lot of patience and semi-awkward loitering to get that dang yellow cab in the background of the last shot, but we nailed it (Tommy Ton eat your heart out.)Ringo, have a banana!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06486488683677625984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636775030742211546.post-48038794846141180502012-06-15T03:12:00.000-04:002012-06-15T03:17:59.998-04:00ALL QUIET<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/whenwewereyoung/7374050710/"><img alt="summerreads1" height="566" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8003/7374050710_b2bc2d627d_o.jpg" width="750" /></a>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Where the heck have I been for the last month? ... No really, someone tell me! I don't know, I've been around I guess? Plugging away at work, sneaking off to see a </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=m-8OOvf1NPY" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" target="blank">movie</a><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> or </span><a href="http://www.filmforum.org/movies/more/spaghetti_westerns#nowplaying" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" target="blank">two</a><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">, and pausing now and then to glare accusingly at a grey, gloomy June sky. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I've also been dreaming and scheming about summer travel--and the most important part of any well plotted trip is, of course, reading material. Having the right book in your bag can make or break an adventure, and there's nothing like having just the right thing to read, at the right time, in the right place.

You know what I mean. <br /><br />It's looking like I'll be in Scandinavia at the end of this month for a few days, and I've already put holds at the library on these two volumes. Having missed out completely on Moomintroll when I was a kid (it was all about <a href="http://www.steinerbooks.org/detail.html?id=0863151531" target="_blank">the Tomten</a> in our house), I never gave Tove Jansson much thought. But I keep hearing <a href="http://dearfieldbinder.tumblr.com/post/24076047501/book-smarts-the-true-deceiver-by-sadie-stein-if" target="_blank">such wonderful things</a> about her novels that I figured it was high time I gave it a go.<br /><br />What will you be reading this season? </span>Ringo, have a banana!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06486488683677625984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636775030742211546.post-41678903958766458392012-05-15T12:25:00.000-04:002012-05-15T22:26:13.983-04:00ROGER THAT!<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hotdoorknobs/7199777598/in/photostream" target="blank"><img alt="siri_hat" height="497" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7228/7203831988_ff0a479a38_o.jpg" width="750" /></a>

This is the time of year when I purposefully get off the train one station early just so I can stop and smell the roses.

When I came across a post on Food 52 titled "<a href="http://food52.com/blog/3342_reading_while_eating_the_photography_of_juliette_tang" target="_blank">Reading While Eating</a>", I had to pause and give a smile. My mother has always been a staunch defender of her (along with anyone else's) right to read at the table, and although it's a habit I've always found a bit difficult, not to mention messy, to master, I'm all for it. Reading anywhere, anytime, is a-ok by me.</div>

This past February, I finally had the chance to meet up with one of my favorite bloggers from the other side of the globe, Ms. Hannah-Rose of <a href="http://capturethecastle1.blogspot.com/" target="blank">Capture the Castle</a>. We spent a giddy afternoon wandering around Williamsburg on various goose-chases (some wilder than others) and eventually settled down to conduct <a href="http://thebenah.blogspot.com/2012/02/interview-siri-from-ringo-have-banana.html" target="blank">a little interview</a> over coffee and Tim Tams at Toby's Estate</span>.<br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Hannah also asked me to put together a <a href="http://thebenah.blogspot.com/2012/03/things-we-love-in-march.html" target="blank">Top Ten list</a> for Benah, one of my favorite Australian lines that also happens to run a really excellent blog. True to form, I decided to make everything ten times more complicated by only shooting the photos I wanted to use on film--but I'm so glad I did! I'm really happy with the results, and I hope you are too. <a href="http://thebenah.blogspot.com/2012/03/things-we-love-in-march.html" target="blank">Have a look</a>, and leave a little love :n )</span>Ringo, have a banana!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06486488683677625984noreply@blogger.com1
