Dubrovnik, Croatia

Dubrovnik for a dark and dismal day. I wish I was back there.

Crocheted Bow Barrette

I've crocheted myself a barrette. I used a bow pattern from Creative Yarn.

Tea Time!

Welcome to Narwhal & Nautilus. I started this site as a little place to keep girly things. I've been recently obsessed with style blogs, magazines like Antler and Lula, cooking, and making things. I'm not sure what will happen here, but I hope that it will be a place for a busy Brooklyn girl to pause for a moment and feel calm. Namely me, but hopefully you too! Brew a cup of tea (that's the kind of girly thing we do here...better make it herbal...with little flowers in it if possible), pull that crocheted shawl around your shoulders (hmm...more grandmotherly than girly, but there's a place for little old ladies here too), and stay awhile!
