happy monday

how are you lovelies today?

i’m doing good

i know i know, i’ve been mia for quite some time

but i’m back and it feels great to be blogging again

if you didn’t hear our news- taylor and i are expecting?!!

W  H  A  T  ?

it’s true

our little gem will join us in may and we couldn’t be happier

here are some other gems that i have been admiring lately

i don’t know if it’s because i have a baby on board or the fear of suddenly becoming ‘unhip’

{i’ll admit-so silly!}

but this leather bomber is calling my name

and who says you can’t be stylish and rock some bump action-right?

diamonds are a girl’s best friend

especially one that is so multi purposed and within my budget

throw a single air plant in, some pastel confetti, or perhaps a mossy zen garden

get cray…whatever tickles your fancy

speaking of air plants this beauty is brightening up my desk today

an unexpected gift, especially in the form of an epiphtyte , from a sweet friend always makes me smile

and how stunning is this art print titled haircut 1 by erin case?

you can view her online portfolio here

pretty amazing stuff

case’s work is inspiring me to do a DIY, grab my trusty scissors

and get in the studio to create some mixed media collages asap!

speaking of getting in the studio to make some purdy art…i hope you can join me at oil and cotton

on the evening of november 15th to create some hand printed holiday paper goodness with yours truly

i think adding a personalized element (when giving any type of gift)

that you have created and designed with your very own hands

gives your gift texture, makes it that much more treasured and special to the person you are giving it to

sign up today at oil and cotton

i’ve been rocking some new tunes in the studio today while working on a new logo project

{with a stellar track list from my local dj and girl laura}

i can’t wait to share the finished piece with you soon

until then,
