A WEEKEND IN NEW YORK

Hi pals. This post is a couple of weeks belated, but I finally got around to organizing some photos and thought I'd share my thoughts on my weekend in New York (you may have seen some photos floating around already).I made a pretty spontaneous (for me) decision to take a long weekend in New York in September after realizing the cost of shipping everything I wanted from Mood was more than a quarter...

Continuing Education... and changing everything I knew about darts!

Hello lovely readers. Things are starting to settle down here a bit. We're 2/3 unpacked and my studio has a semblance of order (it's all an illusion) and so with a few quiet moments to spare, I thought I'd share what I've been up to.With our return to the U.S. from Norway, all sorts of possibilities opened up. Should I look for a job now or continue with Mrs. Depew Vintage? Should I go back to school?...

final day to save! don't miss out ☺
