About

I’m a graduate student, I live in Boston, I am extremely cheap, and I like making things with my hands. I wear clothes. Real clothes, not sweatpants. I live in an apartment where “art” is not taped to the wall. If you are a grad student, a twenty-something, a Bostonian, or just plain frugal, I welcome you here!

Hi Annelise,
Just enjoyed reading your caring and sharing blog. You ar a great writer so keep up the good word as I aim to enjoy your work when ever I get the chance, learning about Boston in the process. Thank you.

Hi Annelise,

I just found your blog this evening, and I think it’s awesome! I’ll be following you on Twitter shortly The philosophy for your blog is quite similar to yours in that I write about getting out and about without spending too much money – and looking good while you do it. We share the same do it yourself attitude (you should see all of the dishes I haven’t unpacked yet).

Anyways, I look forward to reading more. Nice to read you!

Hi Annelise,

I came across your blog when I googled “how to hem a dress” and I really like it! Just thought I’d say hello.

Hey Annelise,

I couldn’t agree with you things to do before turning 25 more. I’m a big list-maker. My most recent list is things to do/see in Boston and my research led me to you! I’ll be flying in from California for May 21-23 for an interview (!!), is there anything I absolutely-positively-cannot-miss that you would suggest doing?

Hi There!

I am reaching out looking for some contact information, specifically your email address. I don’t see it on your site anywhere – would you be able to send me along an email?

thanks!

I was poking around the Googles tonight, perhaps exploring my own page ranks, when I came across your amazing site. You won me over at the first glimpse of a header. I will be reading and reading!
With blog love,
