Max


The shop renovation in progress

A snippet of one of the rooms in our new Design Studio

Last week we welcomed our second son, Max into the world. He is perfect in every way. Thank you for all your lovely emails and comments.

Our shop renovation is proceeding very well...still lots of work to be done. Our Design Studio is now in full swing upstairs. The girls and I are enjoying having a very special space just for our clients. Some photos are above for your viewing pleasure. I'll be back soon with some more news and posts. Just enjoying my newborn for the moment. Hope you are all well.

France!

I have so many people to get back to and a ton of work, but I have loaded a bunch of photos from France into a new flick folder HERE.
There will be many more from Elizabeth Messina's Workshop, but for now, here are some I snapped from our little adventure. There is not much reason to the order:

Delicious crepes filled with nutella and bananas on Rue Cler.

The hydrangea clips in my hair were a lovely gift from the talented Diane of DK Designs. She makes those lovely blooms by hand from clay! Be sure to get in touch with her if you're interested in a set. She also made a gorgeous floral arrangement for our home and I'll be sure to post pictures soon.

Wowie wow wow!

I'm so sorry that I haven't been posting much... or really at all. Matt and I just got back from FRANCE! We had an incredibly busy couple weeks with me at the workshop for much of the time and then trying to cram a few days in the countryside and Paris. I thought I would have great Internet connection, but it just wasn't the case. It either cost an arm and a leg per hour or it was so slow it would take about 20 minutes to load one page.

I will be taking the next 24-48 hours to get settled back into the rhythm (jet lagged!) and then I have to tackle a HUGE amount of convos and emails. Please be patient with me! I wasn't able to take calls while away ($1.29 a minute!) and I'll try to get back to everyone ASAP. Please feel free to resend emails and convos if you're worried.

We're picking Indy up in a few minutes and I'll try to load all the photos later today (a TON of them, of course!).

I met so many wonderfully talented ladies while at the workshop and I will most definitely gush more about them individually in following posts (I cannot wait to introduce you to them!).

I have some exciting projects in the works and I think the next 2-3 weeks will quite literally be a blur, but hang tight. Everything will be worth the wait. Thank you so much for being so patient with me during a ridiculously busy time in my life. I truly appreciate your support, the readership, and everything!!!!!!

Just in case you didn't see where I spent much of my time, here's a GORGEOUS video that Kristen* of Bliss Productions simply "threw together" in a couple days while in France:

Kristen* is an incredibly talented lady and a ball full of fun, energy and creativity. Thank you, Kristen*!
