A special thanks to Lonny for including me in their holiday issue. I bet you’ve seen it already and it is chocked full of terrific images and inspiration. If not, you can click over here. It was such a treat to work with Robert Leleux and Shawn Gauthier, thank you, thank you, again.
They are, really, beautifully made, I just wish I had some Go To Hell socks or pants to wear with them. Don’t miss that little piece of red grosgrain ribbon at the heel. Onward. 
Things should seem a little upside-down and you would think that I would be repacking the things at the in-between house, but I’m not. It could be denial that I have to finish the second half of a quite unpleasant task or it could be the wine. Still, I am passing my time going through tear sheets culling inspiration for the “new” house. The house whose move’s only appeal is its past tense. The as-yet-unnamed house.
That subtle, luminous chinoiserie shimmering on the wall is not paper, rather painting. But the really remarkable thing about it is the process. You can read how the project was conceived and executed here. 
But as much as I love making our holiday cards, as much as I dig a paper craft, it may be the one thing that I skip. The current plan has two card sizes, a printed sticker and a couple of stick-on jewels to accompany the picture. “It looks like a truck, right?” To which they responded, “Um. Sure. Sort of. Maybe you could paint on a grill. And wheels. Could you make the wheels turn?” Darling, I can make holiday magic the likes of which you have never imagined. But maybe not this year.
