Parade of Homes

Thanks to Threshold Interiors, I was able to feature many designs in this year's Parade of Homes -and the icing on the cake? It was all for a fabulous house by the Michael Hsu Design Group.
Here are some photos! Enjoy!

birds of a feather! our rockin' headbands

Our feather headbands have proven to be the perfect pick-me-up for any outfit, any occasion - I think you can see why they've become so popular (I personally can't enough of these cuties!!). And lucky you...they're available for purchase right on this website! :) Just click on "shop" and have a blast (feel free to shoot us an email with special inquiries! we love doing special occasions - hooking up bridesmaids, brides, birthday girls...you name it - we'll adorn it). I think it's safe to say you're guaranteed 5 - 50 compliments in one day (depending on how many people see you, of course)...we've actually had people buy these headbands directly off our heads - which is totally cool with us! Go ahead, add a little glamor to that outfit...

SHINE on {LA-DEE-DAH}! and how time keeps on flying...ohdeedoh, ladeedah

3. my shiny airstream store {LA-DEE-DAH} is already expanding to have a newsstand/dessert kiosk called TREAT and is happy to announce its relocation into the South First "South Austin Trailer Park & Eatery" woot! (we have awesome 'designer s'mores' that you can roast by the campfire as you lounge in a big, comfy adirondack...good stuff) ooh - you can see it here: www.austintreat.com
4. this time next week i'll have my 3rd(!) awesome, whimsical window display at the always lovely Eliza Page on 2nd St. Downtown.

My "Spotlight" is Born! And so is Sanctuary Home.Bath.Garden

Long time no see - let's play catch-up (super abridged version): new and exciting design concepts have sprouted in abundance along with an entirely new studio space and a revamped website!

{movin' + shakin' + as always - a work in progress}

Oh, it's just so good to be back...where to begin?
How about with some new designs available for purchase at one of the most charming and simply beautiful boutiques to grace Austin: Sanctuary Home.Bath.Garden. (www.sanctuaryhomebathgarden.com). Owner and overall delight, Hanna Curran, has poured her heart into her Sanctuary and it shows, so I'm thrilled to shine my first SPOTLIGHT on this amazing shop!

Introducing "Botanicals in a Bottle" - "perma-couture" inspired by the classic Ship in a Bottle...only the Botanicals easily hang on any wall and really light up any room:
