Spring is in the air which immediately puts a bounce to my step and electrifies my senses. With its arrival I also find myself itching for adventure, only to find it’s still too nippy out to plan a camping trip. So what’s an urban green girl to do? If you happen to live in the Midwest – you’ve got a treat in store.
The City Museum in St. Louis is an upcyclers dream come true! Voted one of the world’s top public spaces, this play-land for all ages is constructed out of reused and found materials, from vintage coke bottles and industrial tubing to airplanes and buses suspended in mid-air. The brainchild of sculptor Bob Cassilly, this eclectic indoor play ground was created in the late 90s using his vision and the talents of 20 local artists. It has become a staple in the imaginations of children and adults alike! Explore it in person or visit the website for a mega-dose of inspiration.

I live on the North Side of Chicago with my best friend and spouse David Paul Downs and our lovable, mischievous pets, Tomato, Peanut, and Butter. I spend my time developing my urban homestead, riding my bike, reading, sewing for my business Pierogi Picnic, volunteering, and growing my elevated veggie garden. When I'm not knee deep in pastries or fabric, I am coordinating volunteers and fosters for The Anti-Cruelty Society. Visit my website and blog at Pierogi Picnic.
