goodbye and hello

Friday, May 28th, 2010

If you recognize this sentiment as the title of the amazing, seminal Tim Buckley album, then you, for the win.  For the rest: I never asked to be your mountain.

Misosouper has been searching for the right sort of takeover, new ownership that would preserve the integrity of the site while giving it the kind of attention that I could not.  I’m thrilled to announce that TheFind–a long-time friend of this shopping blog– has acquired Misosouper, and will be running the show from here forward.

As proprietors of the most thorough shopping search engine on the planet, TheFind will harness all their shopping mojo to bring you the best in fashion, design, and gadgets, five days a week.

And me?  I’ll take your picture; find me at Sunbright Sparrow Studio.  Thanks for the good times.

Love,

Anna

we used to be so in love

Monday, March 1st, 2010

CaptureMy three-week vacation, initially intended for some offline, getting out of my own head time, turned into a sunshiny swath of internet-free clarity.  I dug in the backyard with my kids, spent time with my mom, volunteered at school, read a book, practiced my photography.  After unbuckling myself from my laptop and reengaging with the world, I realized that my career as a professional stuff-poster has run its course.

Huh.

We’ve done some excellent things together, you and I: given away some good shit, won an award, made a few bucks along the way.  But as much as I have loved these past two years, Misosouper has reached its sell-by date, as most sites eventually do.  So I’m selling:  if you want to buy this blog, here’s its private sale listing.  If you need me, I’ll be at annapowersproductions {at} gmail.com, or info {at} annapowersphoto.com (site redesign forthcoming).

My most fervent wish is that someone will buy this site, and keep it alive with their stylish and snarky musings.  I wouldn’t object, however, if it ends up a gallery of Japanese food porn.

Sayonara, friends.  It’s been fun.

we are on a break

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

broken-what-meg-saidDear Readers,

On a bitterly warm day in February two years ago, I agonized over my first post.  570 posts later, much to my surprise, I’m still writing and you’re still reading.  Things have changed around here:  I’ve been with BlogHer, then without BlogHer; I’ve teamed up with TheFind; I’ve produced another daughter, and another business.

After two years, I’m stepping away for a two-week vacation, a respite from looking at stuff on the internet all day.  My eyes?  They burn.

I’ll be back the week of February 22nd, with two spectacular giveaways (notice the two theme?  you’re smart like that) and a really fun project.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Love,

Anna
