I had a great opportunity this past week to drive north and join some friends in Martha’s Vineyard. It’s so nice to squeeze in a little vacation time, especially since I had been planning on postponing any trips until the economy begins bouncing back. But I was overjoyed at the invitation, and took some photos [...]

Late last week I printed a set of baby notecards for a special little lady. Scarlett is 8 months old, and is often seen around town with mismatched socks. Very fashion forward.

I made some great new friends too, my very talented neighbors were Patricia Naves at Oiti, Tom Butch from Philadelphia and London’s Colin O’Dowd. Love those guys. And thanks to everyone who [...]

So, big news. I have been offered a last minute spot in the Designboom Mart at ICFF this year. I’m really excited because I love visiting ICFF every May, especially as it always coincides with the National Stationery Show (both at the Javits Center here in nyc).
The Designboom Mart is the only area of either [...]
