I have been spending so much time at home lately, working on various projects. It's a simple thing, but I am in love with my yard.

 

I love getting my hair done at my friend Bea's house. She gives me advice on beauty, fashion, life! There is usually some yummy tea or snack offered. She allows me to pad around her home and snap photos while my hair color processes (I'm about 75% grey). If you are really lucky, her daughter Astrid will be there. I always leave Bea's place feeling beautiful, and more hopeful and energized. Thank you Bea!

My friend Milena was in town; I had the pleasure of sharing several lovely days with her while she was here. On one of which- we had lunch at a favorite spot, Cortez,...followed by seeing the impressive new Laura Owens space & exhibit.

Miss you already Milena! xx

Dye Ladies

I had Hadley, Emilyn, and her daughter P.K. over to work on some things for the Echo Park Craft Fair.

Turquoise & Lavender

The hand dyeing extravaganza continues... 

Trying to finish samples for ERMIE Collection 1, 2013, and pieces for the Echo Park Craft Fair (May 11-12, location TBA).

Caftans in 63% Silk, 37% Wool gauze. Perfect for keeping you warm when there is a cool breeze in the summer evening, or the marine layer is in at the beach. Keeps you cool and covered in the summer sun. Coming soon.

A few images from Lauren's workshop at the Standard the other night. 

Well Done, Lauren, Claire and Lili! xx

Spending most of my days lately outdoors in the backyard dye studio.
