I went for a walk in the woods of New Hampshire two weeks ago with two old friends. I came home nostalgic and with my head filled with the beauty of the soon to be autumnal woods. I saw little pockets of moss on old stumps, puffy seed pods, long stretching spider webs, a dry…

Show Me a Story Tour :: Catherine Newman
Memory Card made by a workshop guest at The Eric Carle Museum Happy autumn, friends! Today marks the first day of the Red Bird Crafts blog tour for Show Me a Story. Way back in the frosty afternoons of January 2011, I was typing with my Sophie cat snuggled on my lap dreaming of the…

The Show Me a Story book launch party was a smashing success. Many, many thanks to all those who showed up to make crafts, eat cake, read books, and dance. Extra thanks to Helen from The Cup & Top for hosting us in the most wonderful, helpful way ever! And, to Justin, Joe, and Tara…
odds & ends
Hello lovely friends. I have a few things on my mind, and I’d love to share them with you before we embark on this beautiful pre-autumn weekend. 1. September is craft book month at Craft Buds, and on Wednesday Lindsay posted an interview with me. She asked lovely questions in which I discuss Show Me…
The Big Apple.
Photograph taken at night on The Whitestone Bridge. NYC lights. Tomorrow, I venture off for a little Show Me a Story book event tour in New York City. I grew up nearby, so I am thrilled to visit and share my book with the city of my heart. If you are in the NYC area,…

As of noon today, I’ve added a new group of Story Stones to the shop. Happy day after Labor Day, to you all. May the transition out of the summer schedule feel as easy as possible. xo e

To market, to market
I’m busily preparing for tomorrow’s visit to the Tuesday Market in Northampton, MA. Local friends, this is one of the sweetest, freshest, sweetest community building markets in our area. There is fresh fish, bright vegetables, warm baked breads and muffins, local hard cider, and maple shaved ice. And, art! There is art too! I am …
p i c t u r e d :: late summer
* We found love under a tree. * A blue cake with colorful chocolate coated sunflower seeds for my sweet niece. * A summer afternoon with cousins. * Champagne boats each with a fresh picked raspberry waiting to be filled with Prosecco. We were toasting the sale of my childhood home and celebrating the newest…

* I found this tiny nest — maybe a hummingbird’s — in the center of the road while running around Tuscarora Lake in NY. * Flowers on my lap on the way to a friend’s house. * Corn fields, on an evening drive to town.* Just down the road.* Beautiful golden…

*We spent last weekend cleaning out my belongings from my childhood home. I’ll write more about that experience in another post. In the meantime, here are two friendship bracelets that I made during one summer. I know there were many, many more, but these are the only two that survived. * Sunset as we were…
s t o n e s
A little mid-summer watercolor. Why not break out your pencils and liquid watercolors and make some stones? Kids too! I think that maybe I was unintentionally meditating while painting the organic stone shapes. Now I’m thinking that it would be a really nice intentional practice: clear your mind and paint stones. In peace. xo e
some things.
In preparation for the launch of my new website (emilyneuburger.com), I’ve tidied up my blog and designed a fresh, new banner for the top. For those of you reading this on a reader, you might want to click through and have a peek. I’m feeling really happy about the change. Today, Lori from the Camp…

* Choices, choices, choices. As someone who wears glasses from the time I wake until I close my eyes at night, choosing new frames is a big deal. And, actually, a frustrating deal too. Does anybody wish to commiserate with me? * This is the newest addition to my vintage children’s book collection. It was…
we went to the ocean
These are a few photographs from our week by the ocean. One of our favorite days was spent at the Audobon Bird Sanctuary in Wellfleet. It was a quiet spot with trails, tall trees, baby birds, and tiny crabs that popped out to say “hello” as soon as we stood still. There were three other…
t-shirt necklaces
These simple necklaces came together with just some jersey and a jar of assorted beads. Instead of the usual wire or twine, we cut strips of t-shirt jersey, and yanked on them so they resembled cord. It was an especially satisfying summer afternoon project — the children loved transforming fabric into cord and it involved…
p i c t u r e d {summer reflection series}
This photograph is a family favorite. It rests in a frame on my daughter’s bookshelf. Her grandparents at the lake often speak of “the photograph of the marshmallow on the mountain” and the magic of roasting her first one. Thank you for joining me this week as I spent time with some of my…

Local peaches mean the end of summer around these parts. This means that I was feeling sad and happy in this moment before my first bite. Each day this week, I’ll post a summer photograph from the past four years. The photographs that I’ve chosen show some of my favorite summer treats and moments. My…

We were on the coast of New Hampshire last summer, playing with rocks and water until we were tired. Each day this week, I’ll post a summer photograph from the past four years. The photographs that I’ve chosen show some of my favorite summer treats and moments. My children will pop up in a…
