And the award goes to…

renesmee's bedroom2

    Did ya see?! Did ya see?! Our very fine Sarah Lamp was in the movie Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 2. It was on the nightstand of Renesmee in both her nursery and her more grown up bedroom. We were so excited, we forgot to tell anyone, but we know many of you noticed. As they say at the Academy Awards, “what an honor!”   With the Oscars in only a couple weeks, we are going to show you our own show stoppers! We have been featured in quite a few of other high proflile places and wanted to show them off. Here are the winners…   And the award for Most Popular goes to our Sarah Lamp! She is a movie star as well as a star in print. A classic lamp, seen here in the living room of Lindsey and Grayson Cheek in their Wilmington, NC cottage, she pairs well with [...]

Settling in

dia del muertas-2

  HOLA!  I’m back! I know that I claimed I was going to post a blog every few days about our time in Mexico….it seems that I lied. I hope you are not shocked. You shouldn’t be. I am a notorious liar and blog procrastinator.     I am sorry. Really. My intentions were good but for some reason it has been really difficult to get settled and into a good work groove. Everything is still feels a bit discombobulated and out of sorts.  It is weird…we are having lovely time and everybody is happy here (except maybe Stella…but she is a 12 year old girl and I don’t think I or any mortal has the power to make her truly happy anywhere.) I don’t know what the problem is …I guess just new place, new digs, new office, new language, etc. I spend an incredible amount of time just [...]

Dispatch from Mexico

  Buenos Dias! I think most of you know….maybe? maybe not?…..Billy, the children, the dogs, and I are spending the year in Mexico. We are living in lovely San Miguel de Allende, where we have our workshop. The children are enrolled in a sweet, small private school that is bilingual…sort of. Really it is about an hour or 2 a day in English and the rest in Spanish. Yikes! I guess they will learn Spanish, though, right? And that is the whole point.         So, the kids and I have been here for about 3 weeks trying to get settled, starting school, figuring out how to navigate teeny, crowded cobblestone roads in a big pick up truck, buying school supplies (I think I might devote an entire blog to the Mexican school supply list…really quite mind boggling, and unbelievably challenging in Spanish), etc., etc.  Billy and the dogs arrived this weekend. Very happy to see them. Billy’s Spanish is [...]
