I have been struggling a bit for the last couple months, on a number of levels. I daresay since I have arrived home from Burning Man, my heart has been broken (in addition to my pocketbook). I always intended to write more about Burning Man, but there was so much . . . → Read More: Best Week Ever

This year, I decided to embrace the notion of fall this year, instead of dragging my feet kicking and screaming as I usually do. I have had a beautiful summer with phenomemal people and experiences. It is time to usher in a new . . . → Read More: Luminata Lantern Parade 2012

Back In The Saddle

Sorry things have been so quiet around here lately. It has been a whirlwind since I got home from Burning Man! I have been catching up on all of my dread fall orders rather quickly. Feel free to place some orders to keep me motivated, I can finish a few sets before Halloween. I have . . . → Read More: Back In The Saddle
