Banana & Ginger

Once upon a warm winter's morn, in a jazz filled vintage kitchen, two girls were very hungry for yummy breakfast treats, orange juice, and french press coffee.
Miss Lauren came over for a charming baking session! We donned our favourite vintage aprons and toiled away in the morning sunlight to bake delectable banana muffins with ginger cream icing. They quickly disappeared into the bellies of a couple friends and the old ladies downstairs. (& of course we each snuck one. or 2) I think being crafty comes in many forms. Yummy forms!













Bon apetit mes amis.

Timbre & Tetra

Life has been crazy lately. I don't even know where to start, so let me simply say that Nashville has been turned upside down due to torrential storms and flooding.

The night it all went down (or started to!) my dear friend Timbre had her cd release at the Rutledge. I had the fun assignment of making her a little hair wreath! So... here's a picture of her, and one of the lil flowers modeled by yours truly!



Her sweet sister Tetra is planning a three month trip to Mozambique this summer. She'll be working with Iris Ministries, run by Heidi and Rolland Baker. They work with orphans, villagers of Pemba Mozambique, and people of the Bush. Tonight, she is hosting a handmade craft and baked goods fair in East Nashville to help raise funds. You can get your hands on some cheap Say Ooh accessories, along with other lovely surprises.

Nonfash, primarily

Here are some recent, non-fashion-related projects. Some wedding cards and the cover of the cd I did for Austin. We were really pleased with the results, and can't wait to see it in print! He's having a cd release next Thursday, 8pm at Mercy Lounge. It will be wonderful, come out if you can! Here's an insight to his music: "Austin cites two of his influences as Claude Debussy and Jeff Buckley. Debussy's sense of romance and space and Buckley's willingness to rock and soar are echoed in his work. Envy uses strings, horns, and crackling electrics to round out his sound in a way that is classically indie."

Last week was spent in Black Mountain, just outside of Asheville, NC. I holed up in a cabin in the woods with my dear family. When I wasn't in the hot tub, playing card games, or cooking, I was sewing. Be on the lookout. Photoshoot coming up, right before Naked Without Us fashion market, this Saturday and Sunday, 1-10pm at Mai. There will be some great afterparties too, of course!

Nature in Market

Last weekend was the final Walden Artisan Market in East Nashville. I was honoured to be part of the first, and a handful along the way. It's rounding out to just short of a year, and the lovely Alison Egerton has rented the space to a soon-to-be veggie restaurant. Exciting!

Tho it rained much, we all had a nice time at this market. Thanks to Alison for organizing the event time and time again!
