Spencer Studio + TIGERS to LILIES

Friends! This is SUPER exciting! My super amazing and wonderful friend Lauren Spencer King of Spencer Studio (and the Sphinx & the Milky Way) has just added a series of incredibly stunning drawings that she did for our Summer Fête this past summer. Lucky for us she is selling them in her shop! They are bold and delicate and simply put: breathtaking. What makes my heart spill over with joy is that she credits TIGERS to LILIES for the inspiration. Lauren, do you know what this does to my spirit?! Thank you dear friend.  You inspire me!

 

  This is a part of a collaboration that she and I worked on together. I couldn't be more honored and proud to show these. Seriously, grab yours now before they are all gone...

Merci pour tout, Chére Cheri. Bon aventures au Japon!
Mille bisous*

Spirited Away

I had an entry all ready to go to share with you today of some of Richard Avedon's brilliant work that I picked up from the library yesterday until something much more dear and magical came through the mail...and so I decided instead to ask you this: Do you have a friend who is so close to you, her spirit so intertwined with yours that you can feel the connection from an ocean or two away? A friend that you only get to spend fleeting moments with and yet those moments are so full of life, zeal, love, light and enchantment that they imprint your soul forever to come? It's like we're spirit twins. Members of the same tribe with only mountains and clouds keeping us physically apart. We send each other smoke signals that travel great distances usually in the form of letters, oh but when they do arrive what beautiful suspension of time spent reading and re-reading each others messages and thoughts and aspirations! Other than that, I am always there having lunch with you. In whichever magical little park you can find us, I am under your tent. Thank you...kindred spirit.
