Happy Day

Turn off your computer and go outside for a walk.

Pick up a piece of trash.

Listen to the wind (or birds or water)

Enjoy the sun (or rain)

Recommit to doing something positive.

Keep it simple.

Happy Earth Day.

Pillow Talk

Wow, been busy lately. Lots of juggling and new projects in the making.

Received the above photo from the very nice people at the Palisades Development Group who designed the recently opened Pailhouse Holloway in West Hollywood, CA. It's an extended stay 'boutique urban lodge'.


It's so rewarding to see the final destination of the pillows - especially when the surroundings are so stylish. Nice.

Etsy Video Portrait

Yep - that's my closet (aka shipping department, marketing department and raw material storage). Yep, that's also my dining room: studio by day, fine dining by night. It's a little scary putting yourself out there - but happy to increase the awareness of upcycling (and reiter8!)

Thanks to Tara, a video master maven from Etsy who is a talented pleasure to work with. See more of her work here.

Thanks Etsy for shining the spotlight my way!

Vacation

Back from vacation today. Lovely to come home to lots of orders and inquiries. Time to shake the sand out and get back to business.
