Tea and Crumpets for Girly Girls

I admit it. I like pink, frilly girly things. So after reading this, I definitely want to go here, Sweetiepie, and have myself some silver dollar pancakes, with cookies and milk. The whole menu is so child-hood cute I could pinch myself.


It is kinda like Serendipity, but has a more whimsical, childish vibe, which I love.

Holy Sweet Jesus

This past half week has been quite an exciting, but also scary adventure.

First off, this happened today, so I am going to jump forward in time for this post, and share if first!

After a year of working a variety of jobs: retail, freelancing, and hostessing, I have finally landed a full time J-O-B! Quite exciting to share with y'all. I started three months ago at 77Kids, the new kids-brand shoot-off of American Eagle, doing kids graphics. It has really been a great three months, I really like the people, and the actual product it puts out.





Some graphics that are out now, made a year ago by Steve, Joe, Keith, and Micah.

The same time, I was also grappling with a stellar job offer, from my old boss, at Gap doing baby CAD design. It was a great job, but in the end I decided to go with the graphics job.



SO, this weekend, when I was thinking over the job prospects, I was invited by my old college friend to go out to her beach house in Long Island, near Oyster Bay. Let me tell you, it was the best thing that could have come along. So relaxing and soaked up a lot of vitamin D.

Pretty much the same pattern but in different colorways

Purple Love

I think we all go through fashion phases. I was in a big beaded necklace phase in highschool. My then-boyfriend's brother asked me why I always wore huge necklaces. Then I was in a vest phase in college. Now I've moved on to color phases. First it was a lot of red, but most recently it is purple. It's so unexpected sometimes.

My friend at american apparel, courtney, turned me on to shopnastygal.com.
Now would this be appropriate to wear for a September wedding?

I want a raspberry beret and even prince's cloud suit

Gap Kids Graphics

The line of boys shirts that I worked on @ my internship last summer are out! Way cool. I did all the watercolor illos for this line of tshirts. One of the graphics guys did the typography.

It's almost a sin to jump past summer and start thinking of fall, but I think this little charmer makes it forgivable.

A man who wears purple pants is a winner in my book.

My website is being worked on right now. I hope to have it all sorted out tonight after I get home from work...:) In the mean time, check my flickr to see my illustration work.

PLATE SAMPLES IN :) !!!

My plates are being sampled at FISHS EDDY in Union Square tucked away in the north west corner (East 19th and Broadway). Please go in and ask them to see it! They are trying to see how much interest it gets, so please ask for it if you don't see it right away!! Thanks so much. I hope that it will be a big success and that the other 2 pieces I made for them will be produced later on. XOXO.


Happy Easter too!!
