meeble mail is live!...

How much email do you view everyday? I bet quite a few, and the number seems to be growing everyday. So...why not make it fun and pretty? That's what the girls over at Meeble Mail thought, and of course I agree! I am so happy to announce my partnership with Meeble Mail and that the site is now live! This launch is so fitting as I actually met the creators of Meeble Mail last year at SURTEX.  I am also proud to say, I am in some really amazing company including Trina Turk, Hammocks and High Tea, and Thomas Paul!! For the launch they are offering all the stationery for FREE for the entire month of MAY! Go check out the site and add a bit of pretty to your email love notes! :)

Just incase you've been under a rock...it's show season!  Everyone I know if crazy busy (including me) getting ready for the show.  I did take a moment a few weeks back to get out into the market as I suggested here, and was encountered with a great surprise!  Check it out, and stop by and say hello!  I'll be in booth 608.  :)

how do ya - custom brush strokes...

Hi all!  Up to my ears in SURTEX prep over here.  I am sure you have noticed around this time of the year my posts get a little sparse.  ; - ).  I have been meaning to do another Illustrator tutorial since "How to draw a perfect Heart", so here it is!  Hope you like it, and let me know what other topics you are curious about!

jonathan adler hits atlanta!...

Yes, it's true!  Jonathan Adler and his fantastic sense of humor have hit Atlanta!  Such a welcome and needed addition to this largely traditional town.  So the scoop is I was out to check out the market a bit for my new SURTEX video with my hubby, and we of course had to check out the new JA shop too.  HOWEVER, I had no clue that night was a big opening party (the store had actually opened the night before), and guess who was there...

Yep, totally stumbled into meeting Jonathan Adler!  It was the icing on the cake to a great night.  New video shot, fresh new store to explore again and again, and I got to meet a super talented, super down to earth design icon.  Tonight, score one for ATL!
