Steeped in Chocolate

Working on these Dark Choclate Coffee labels kept me awake at night.

Teak Chic

Here is one of those everyday items that i just discovered on my kitchen counter. It really came alive when we added the clementines. It looks authentic mid-century, but i seriously have no idea where it came from, or who gave it to us. It says on the back: Adirondack Bowls Inc., Auburn NY. If it was you, fess up, ok?

Home Part 2

I would tell you more about these authentic 60's coulottes i swiped from my Mom, but i can't. My eyeballs exploded.
Seriously.

Home Part 1

If you, like me, are a visual person, the holidays can send you into instant overload. Go back to the house you grew-up in, or even where your folks live now, and let the treasure-hunt begin. What odd-ball objects send you reeling back to your childhood? Here's one for me... i opened it and it had so much more than recipes. The to-do lists and laundry lists on the back of some of these recipes were hysterical. It was worth the trip. I can never open it again, at the risk it will disintegrate.

Killing Frost

A beautifully haphazard bouquet of november roses, snatched before the first frost.
I feel so Martha.

Trivets

I know it's been awhile...
These little beauties are salvaged from Cathy's Mom's kitchen. They don't make 'em like this anymore.
Thanks Gloria!

Portrait of the Artist

Anyone out there wondering what i look like, can get an accurate impression of my essence from these 2 renderings.
These artist/designers in-residence are already showing great use of color and detail. Imagine what their work will look like when they actually turn 5!
