living {it up} at the NYIGF

i am so sorry to have been so out of touch with y'all, but we have been working it at the new york gift show for the past few days..showing our wares. it is totally consuming , exhausting, and wonderful to thrive and survive the event..but somehow i always love showing off all of our new work! (more later on that)..so until the end of the week it is perhaps, adios amigos.

helllloo NYIGF!

looks like we're ready!

Big Thank You!

etsy shopper rachel wrote me today saying how much she loves her new chevron rug that we designed for surya..and was kind enough to send this pic of it from her adorable home.

and if that wasn't enough, this week is a one kings lane sales event with our rugs and they had this ce-ute pic of the new hex rug with hunter boots..love.

surya has also introduced some great new styles for our collection that echo some of our punchy prints we use in our pottery line..

i cannot wait to see these babies in person..they look so cool..

particularly the gate.

wondering what you think.

fabulosity

last week style guru erin gates and photographer sarah winchester set up a very fun photo shoot at the studio.

we had been discussing the looks for months, and finally it was time to pull the trigger..and take the pix.

taking on a project like this is exciting, but it requires a ton of work, inspiration, and a complete vision.

i have to say..i was so impressed with everything these two put together.

doesn't the pottery look beyond delish? positively glowing.

merci beaucoup ladies..and a special mention to Oliver who stole the show..right?

studio photoshoot with {erin gates and sarah winchester!}

today was a huge day at the studio. not only are we madly pulling together the spring/summer collection, but erin was styling a photoshoot for our lookbook, and sarah (8.5 mnths pregnant) was shooting it!

needless to say, it looked gorgeous, impeccable, genius!

i loved the golden flatware she found, and the amazing flowers for the vases.

these are the quick shots i took while rushing through the space as they were prepping and working on getting all the right images just so.

i cannot wait to see the final pix when sarah reveals what she saw through her lens lens.

candy stripes

i have been spending a lot of time lately staring longingly at candy stripes. you could say that i am a stripe maniac..never met a stripe i didn't like. i am wont to frolic in boat neck stripe T's.. and for years i made wonderful striped genie bottles. but then (even) i had to give them a rest. BUT! i am thinking they might be coming ba-aaack!
