short study of certain flowers

Last week's tulips...

Horned Beast

Our newest design...

We showcased this piece at Fashion Week Ventura and it's just been put up for sale in our Etsy shop.

Shutter Island

We saw Shutter Island on Friday. It was fun going to see a scary movie in the rain, although this film was not as frightening as it's previews.

The visuals were beautiful and the costumes lovely. And while it was not my favorite Scorsese flick, I was perfectly entertained for 138 minutes.

A week later and my Valentine flowers are still blooming. Amazing.

Hope you all are having a lovely weekend .

Vintage Mr. C

Just came across this photo of Ian from a few years back. We were sitting in our favorite coffee shop and I was playing with my brand new camera.

Love

to everyone: Happy Valentine's Day

to my mom: Happy Birthday

to my sweetheart: I love growing up with you & I'll be glad to grow old with you.

Happy Friday ladies and gents. Hope your weekend is full of love, laughter and plenty of clowning around.

Sweet Idea

Absolutely loving TCHO's take on a Valentine favorite. Mat Kisman's "Love Collection" tops boxes of confections with beautiful graphic prints. Perfect for the chocolate lover, the art lover and any other kind of lover.

Fa Fa Fa Fashion

The big show is just hours away now and I'm excited and a little nervous. We're only showing a few shirts, but there's a new design and I really want it to go over well.

Here are some photos from the last fashion show we participated in...

This one's my favorite because you can see my dad in the front row.

Rain and Wild Horses (forget the galoshes)

It's raining again. Time to put on my rainy day shoes.

I hear the storm could continue through Saturday. But rain and wild horses can't keep us from going to the big show for Fashion Week Ventura. Our newest designs will be on the runway. So excited!

What about you? Have you got any exciting weekend plans?

February's Darlings

Happy Birthday to all you February babies. Here's to a month of love, groundhogs, presidents & saints. And most of all, here's to you.

Jason Holley

I have recently become enamored with the work of Jason Holley.

His illustrations remind me of old fashioned nature drawings, but with more darkness, more decay. They are haunting and lovely.
