I am in love with Kate MacPherson's work. Can't get enough. She came to Elizabeth Messina's Workshop in France all the way from New Zealand! So glad she did because her work is stunning and she is sooooooo sweet and easy to work with. I adore this photo she took of Gina:

Loving Delphine Manivet dresses

At Elizabeth's Workshop, some of my favorite dresses were by Delphine Manivet (and Claire Pettibone!). I just spotted this sweet and short number on their website. Isn't it lovely?

I love this one too:

Jen Fariello is one amazing photographer! She is also sooooo sweet and easygoing. I'm so happy to have met her at the Workshop earlier in the month!

It's me! (plus beautiful models Gina and Julie in center photo)
Thank you, Jen!

Twigs & Honey on Facebook.... umm... finally!

Haha!
I've always been the one to say, "I'm never joining facebook" and I finally got enough nudging that I started one up for Twigs & Honey. I think I was most dreading the random people from the past trying to track me down. SO, if you're a fan of Twigs & Honey, a friend, a family member or supporter, visit the new facebook page. Please! I was halfway joking with the hubby that I'm such a facebook loser right now with such a small number of fans (but great fans!!)... it makes you feel like you're in high school again. Anyone agree? I guess some things never change, but I hope to get more unique posts on my facebook wall. There are some great images from Aimee Jobe Photography and more!
Become a Twigs & Honey fan HERE (and help me not feel like the high school misfit again!). :) :) :)

France!

Posted on | Wednesday, May 26, 2010 | 12 Comments

I have so many people to get back to and a ton of work, but I have loaded a bunch of photos from France into a new flick folder HERE.
There will be many more from Elizabeth Messina's Workshop, but for now, here are some I snapped from our little adventure. There is not much reason to the order:

Wowie wow wow!

I'm so sorry that I haven't been posting much... or really at all. Matt and I just got back from FRANCE! We had an incredibly busy couple weeks with me at the workshop for much of the time and then trying to cram a few days in the countryside and Paris. I thought I would have great Internet connection, but it just wasn't the case. It either cost an arm and a leg per hour or it was so slow it would take about 20 minutes to load one page.

I will be taking the next 24-48 hours to get settled back into the rhythm (jet lagged!) and then I have to tackle a HUGE amount of convos and emails. Please be patient with me! I wasn't able to take calls while away ($1.29 a minute!) and I'll try to get back to everyone ASAP. Please feel free to resend emails and convos if you're worried.

We're picking Indy up in a few minutes and I'll try to load all the photos later today (a TON of them, of course!).

I met so many wonderfully talented ladies while at the workshop and I will most definitely gush more about them individually in following posts (I cannot wait to introduce you to them!).

I have some exciting projects in the works and I think the next 2-3 weeks will quite literally be a blur, but hang tight. Everything will be worth the wait. Thank you so much for being so patient with me during a ridiculously busy time in my life. I truly appreciate your support, the readership, and everything!!!!!!

Just in case you didn't see where I spent much of my time, here's a GORGEOUS video that Kristen* of Bliss Productions simply "threw together" in a couple days while in France:

Landed :: Writing to you from Paris!

Posted on | Saturday, May 15, 2010 | 11 Comments

I stayed up for a straight 58 hours before we hopped on the plane for France... that was one of my longest stretches of no sleep ever. Isn't that nuts? That was after sleeping only a couple hours a night for several days. When we boarded the plane, I slept off and on until Houston and then for the 9 hour flight to Paris, I slept for about 8 hours. ha! I don't like flying, so this was nice. We got one of the middle rows of seats and the plane was fully booked but due to delays, we nearly missed our flight BUT someone else must have too because we got 3 seats for the two of us and I got to curl up on 2 seats for a nice, long sleep.

When we landed, we got our rental car and drove around the city and after finally finding a single parking spot, we stopped at a quaint cafe for lunch... or breakfast? Matt got quiche and I finally got my cheese... toasted goat cheese on a baguette. So yummy. Our hotel room is tiny but nice and after a quick shower, I've come out, ready to hit the streets, but Matt is totally dead asleep. Perhaps I should wake him up? We are in the city of love! Maybe I'll wake him... this girl needs to see the sights!

Busy!

Busy, busy over here. I've been staying up late to around 4-5am, waking up at 7-8am and working all day like a fiend. I apologize for the sad blog! I feel guilty pulling myself away to do blog posts! I promise it will be all worth it. Thank you to all the blog readers!! Matt has been helping me with shipping in the evenings. We've been taking HUGE batches to the post office, they fill up the entire car's backseat and I have them on my lap too... and then we cram so many boxes into the post office bins that we jam the door. One more HUGE batch of shipments tonight and if you're waiting for your order, it is on its way (if you purchased something before April 29th)! Whew! About 60 down and 30 more to go before France! Of course, right before we leave, the garden is in full bloom. Just a few photos:

English Roses modified

Posted on | Friday, May 7, 2010 | 2 Comments

I've had so many inquiries about the English Rose #2 that I've decided to modify the remaining 2 roses in that collection to be like the #2. They are slightly different from each other, but if you're interested, you can purchase HERE and HERE. Snatch the last two up while you can...
