Local Threads

While traveling recently, I kept going into small local boutiques carrying clothing from independent designers, at reasonable price points.  I am a big supporter of local shops, eateries, and makers, but realized that I didn’t have a go-to for clothing here in Austin.  I started to scratch my head thinking...

Favorite Read – Lonny

If you already know about Lonny, then you already know and if you don’t, then you should!  I very rarely get a chance to sit down with a magazine and read cover to cover, and rarely even have time to just flip through it.  I am working on carving out...

A Raw Brownie Changed My Life!

Ok, maybe that is a little dramatic!  However, if I can win over my man, the staunchest of sweetaholic traditionalists {more butter + more cream + more sugar = good}, then this recipe really might have changed my life.  My former employee, Jen, turned me on to the blog My...

The Planning of a Studio, Part 1

Now that we are fully out of the store, its time to start building the studio!  Yes, ideally we would have already had the studio built, but we got a little delayed so there will be a transition period working out of my tiny office at the house.  As many...
