A tree in our backyard is blooming these beautiful, delicate, purply pink flowers that make me so happy! I took a photo of them against this clear blue sky and realized that my newest blankets for momoFandango are akin to the palette of these spring blooms. Don't you just love spring?!?
Ben and I visited my hometown of Baird, TX for Easter last weekend. . . Baird is a small town in West Texas, and as I drove through town I realized how perfect the lonesome, but beautiful buildings downtown would be to showcase the momoFandango blankets. Take a look at these examples from the shoot--don't you just love the old brick, the weeds growing through the sidewalk, and "closed" sign on the abandoned building?!? They will soon be shown on the relaunch of the momoFandango website. Soon Soon!!!
Kiki and Polly portraits are amazing. . . their quirky point of view, funky perspectives and subtle color pallettes are absolutely fresh. Whether it's portraits for your entire family, or just your kids, this art will be a treasure. . . www.kikiandpolly.com
I love these cool, retro fabrics from Purl Soho--my fave new source. They 
are designed by Denise Schmidt and the line is called "Katie
My husband, Ben, and I have a recurring conversation about our lives, our path, our journey. . . and the same questions always come from this discussion: "why do we live where we live?"; "Do we feel connected to our city; to our neighborhood?"; "Do we want to be here?" ; "If we don't want to be here, then where. . . ?" Ben found this book, Who's your City by Richard Florida, and immediately knew it was a perfect read for us. He had already given Richard Florida's first book, "The Rise of the Creative Class", to my brother as a gift. . .but this one is really where we are right now, figuratively speaking. Literally, we are in Dallas, TX, and there are reasons why we are here--good friends, family, work, a new house, etc. But we don't know yet, if we are in the right spot for the long run. . .and apparently, according to Florida, this is an important question to be asking, because especially if you fit into the Creative Class, your city has a massive effect on your happiness and your future success. . . just the things we are chasing. Keep you posted. . .
I love Random Nicole. She is an artist who translates her artwork into fashion pieces for men, women and kids. I find her work so free and expressive. Her groovy approach is so connected to the basis for momoFandango through her use of vintage fabrics. Look at this precious onesie called "little doe" (retail $49)! This and many more funky pieces can be found at www.randomnicole.com
