my salt + pepper cellars were featured in the HUFFINGTON POST 2011 gift guide. i was quite honored, as the huffington post is one of the few periodicals that i actually read !

clean up your act.
i have new handmade linen napkins in the shop. isn’t it time to be kind to our planet and stop using those paper napkins ? assign everyone in the family their own special napkin. it instantly makes every meal just a little more fancy.

say "cheese."
my cheese plate + knife sets are now available at GARNET HILL (these are from my manufactured line) and just in time for the holidays. it’s the perfect way to serve hunks of cheese. we could use about 10 of these at the studio . . . we do LOVE our cheeses there !

late nights in the studio . . .
santa’s workshop is officially open and in full swing. i’ve been working like a dog every single day + night. i’ve also been having many technical difficulties and other problems (i.e. forgetting about a certain purchase order which ended with me having to make 102 plates in ONE SITTING). my life becomes insane this time of year. luckily we had these german digestifs to wash down the giant burritos we ate at 10 pm one night . . . burp.

vallauris, france
these GIANT pastries were always in the window of the corner bakery. they were literally around 8″ wide + 5″ tall and they never failed to make me smile when i’d pass by. they were so colorful and cartoon-like.

tattoo me.
last weekend i got my first tattoo . . . albeit a henna tattoo. i am quite enjoying looking at the ornate pattern on my wrist, and it alleviates choosing which bracelets to wear that day because it IS the bracelet. though i find some tattoos very beautiful, for me, i’m opting for the henna kind . . . i just don’t have enough commitment in me to choose a permanent bracelet.
