the before

thinking a lot about potential these days. a lot about ideas. there's a space between idea and creation where all the energy lies, a quiet rumble. the idea hits and your mind races with how to bring a thought into being. energy flows from heart and head out of the fingertips and onto paper. i love this part of the process. touching fabrics, looking at colors, dreaming out the details.

i was in new york this weekend at the bubble show. so many inspiring designers! a favorite was wovenplay, so beautiful it was love at first site! and such sweet women behind all the amazing creations.

i also spoke with the creative force that is binth. suzanna couldn't have been any more lovely to talk with. i have one of their prints, so amazing in person. i am coveting quite a few things from their shop. i got a sneak peek at some great new pillows and a memory game they've created. so great! i can't wait for them to become available!

i'll be launching my summer line tomorrow. it's a little collection of oceany things i hope you'll love! i've kept it on the small side in order to free up time for fall's big launch, which i'm over the moon about!

also, tomorrow we'll be announcing all of the vendors over at second storie! what a great group we have!

happy tuesday, friends!
