More Love Hours Than Can Ever Be Repaid

I visited the Mike Kelley Memorial today on Toland Way.

It was moving and peaceful; quiet.

I never met Mike Kelley. I wish I had. Gone too soon.

Outtakes from a photoshoot I did yesterday for my friend David's wonderful blog. We were shooting the studio and work of a local painter/lighting-furniture-interior-designer. So fantastic--the opportunity to photograph the creative space of someone I had just met was a bit nerve wracking at first, but the shoot was so much fun. A real treat. I'll share more images and links once David posts the story next week.
I hope to do more shoots like this in the future.

Yarn Bomb/ Flower Bomb

Someone has been yarnbombing Highland Park and Eagle Rock and it's awesome.
Looks nice with all of the blooming flowers in the 'hood, too.

Have a great weekend!

P.S. The meeting went well yesterday! It was with a (very sweet) rep from Anthropologie!
I'll share more info as the project (hopefully) progresses. Thanks everyone for your supportive comments!

P.P.S. : Wow! My Tumblr was named one of the Top 20 Fashion Tumblrs on Ecosalon Today!!

What's Up

Hi!
I've been very busy preparing for an important, exciting meeting that is taking place tomorrow! I really wish I could say more...but I'm: a. Superstitious and b. Will hopefully have more to actually tell you (eventually ;) after the meeting. So, if I owe you an email, a call, a piece of writing, a thank-you note...please bear with me: I will try to be in touch as soon as I can!

My friend Emilyn (a really, really, good egg, that one) generously allowed me to temporarily take over her studio space for my meeting so I could have more room to spread out and not stress about cleaning my house (my tiny studio is located within my home). Emilyn is a textile junkie like myself, and I snapped a few images of some of the interesting & beautiful objects in her space.


Also: I still plan on selling a few one-offs/ samples/ scrap yardage from ERMIE FW '11 here on this blog, starting next week.

And

Good News: If you missed out on the After Party dress pictured above, there are a few After Party print dresses at Myrtle that are similar to the pictured dress, but with a one- length hem instead of the bi-level hem!
