Twigs & Honey Lookbook & Catalog :: Print!

Posted on | Monday, August 16, 2010 | 20 Comments

I know I've been so absent on my blog lately, but it's just because I'm whipping up lots of new lovely things! I have a million and one things I'm working on at the moment and so many more things in the works. One BIG thing that consumed a bunch of my time has been the print versions of the official Twigs & Honey lookbook and product catalog. Getting the colors to print just right has been quite the job, but here are some snapshots of the proofs I received this morning and last week... now... off to the final print and very soon, all you patient boutiques will be receiving your wholesale packet. Hooray! Photo credits for all the pictures in the lookbook and product catalog: Lisa Warninger

Extra special pieces I made over the weekend...

I know it has been a looooong time since I've posted my outfit! I have been rolling out of bed (if I sleep at all) and wearing crap most days so trust me, you haven't missed much! I do have a few little things I wanted to share with you though! On Wednesday, I stepped out for a quick dinner with the hubby (zero makeup and hairstyle - none). Just a few quick snaps:

Congrats to HannaH who was randomly chosen (random.org) as the winner of the Perricone MD Cold Plasma Giveaway! Her comment:

"Hi Myra,
I would really love to give this to my mom, she has worked hard all her life and never really taken the time to pamper herself...and I know she would never think to spend this much money on a fabulous face cream! She's almost 50 and I know her appearance/signs of ageing are really starting to bother her, so this might be perfect!
Thanks!

Diana mini camera :: 35 mm film

Posted on | Monday, July 19, 2010 | 3 Comments

A few moons ago, my big sis, Amy, got this nifty Diana Mini camera for me. I'm finally kind of getting the hang of it. It's a little tricky but definitely fun when you get it to work properly. It shoots half frames and square frames from 35mm film. You can do double exposures too. I "wasted" about 2 rolls trying to figure it out with only a few salvageable shots, but the last roll didn't turn out half bad. I was a little sad though, because the film kept advancing but it wasn't actually taking shots toward the end, and I had Amy take some shots at a recent shoot and only 1 image was really taken (boo! but I need to figure out what went wrong). Anyhow, some of the images that did develop were from a hiking trip Matt and I took to Silver Falls a month or two ago. Here are some results:

That time of year again :: Salem Art Fair & Festival

1 Comment

If you're in the Salem, OR area this Fri-Sun, be sure to visit the Salem Art Fair & Festival. The hubby and I happen to live about 3 blocks away (I've been watching the tents go up this week) and we had a wonderful time attending last year. Yummy food, lots of great local artists... LOTS. They also have a plant sale that I particularly enjoy. Although, I was a little bummed to see that they are charging for admission this year (alas, for a good cause), so be sure to bring some paper cash. Hope to see you there!

Oh! And it will be sunny and not too hot... so you don't have an excuse not to go!

Ashley Marie Anthony is the cutest model around. We got to work together yesterday and I can't wait to share photos of her soon! Doesn't she look like the perfect split between Zooey Deschanel and Claire Danes? CUTE!
