Caring for Your Vintage French Bread Boards

Caring for Your Vintage French Bread Boards

We like to use our vintage bread boards in our kitchen rather than just relegating them for display.  So of course, we take very good care of them so they can live long, healthy lives long after we're done with them.

Water Babies

Water Babies

m not big on fortune tellers, and quite frankly I am afraid of Tarot Cards.   But I do believe strongly in the personality types defined by astrological signs.  I'm an Aquarius. My grandma was an Aquarius. My brother-in-law, my nephew and my niece are Aquarians.  I share my birthday with Darren Criss and Cristiano Ronaldo.  I like to think we all have some things in common.

My comfort zone has changed dramatically over the last seven years.

Go ahead. Steal my sources.

One of the best things about being in a creative field is the abundance of beauty that surrounds me every day.  Sometimes a photo of a dining table will inspire a color palette, or a pattern on a dress will bring to mind an idea for a floral installation.  However, when putting so much creativity out each day, sometimes it's nice to just refill the well of inspiration, so to speak.
