Pig's Eye

A historical note:

Saint Paul, MN, our beloved capital city, was originally named Pig's Eye after Pierre "Pig's Eye" Parrant who started a popular tavern in the area. Luckily for tourism, the Log Chapel of St. Paul (St. Paul Cathedral) was built and the name was changed.

Throw Down

I'm a sucker for throw pillows. How darling is this one from Patina? It's where a cozy night at home with a good book meets the peaceful air of the north woods.

The beginning...

I was perusing through the fashion section of a recent issue of Minnesota Monthly and I found myself getting genuinely upset over the choice of featured fashions. Not only were the prices unreasonable ($500 for a blouse) for the average Minnesotan citizen, but there was absolutely no Minnesotan representation other than the photos being shot at our new Guthrie. I can find a Neiman Marcus anywhere! Show me a local designer. I want something that's unique to Minnesota!


With that, I begin this blogging journey. I promise to represent Minnesota to the best of my abilities. I am no expert about Minnesota other than the fact that I grew up here and am so proud of my home state. I'll do the research and all you have to do is bask in the wonders that are found right here in Minnesota.
