Austin Renegade Craft Fair 2013
Palmer Auditorium brought back memories of shopping the City Wide Garage Sale with mom. Scouring booths to find that one sweet deal, the single piece of treasure you’d be allowed to take home with you. This weekend, local makers (and those from afar) swooped in to put their efforts and craftsmanship on display. My overall impression ...

Arts & Crafts – Nail Art

Away We Go! Purse & Clutch Spring 2013 – Part Deux
The rest of Purse & Clutch’s Spring Collection has arrived!

Found and Foraged
Found and foraged objects are very popular elements in design. There’s a component of curation and personal creativity involved that adds to the environment. It’s part of a renewal towards personalization, intentionality, and reconnection with our surroundings. My collection of fossils found in a local creek bed are stacked in a cork-lidded glass container thrifted ...

Hold Vintage Fall 2012 Women’s Wear Collection
Fall is here, and I was so excited to put together this collection for my trunk show at Vintage Heart Coffee! So much so, that I thought I’d share it here. After some encouragement by my sis to style outfits rather than just present these items on their own, I found myself thrilled to discover that ...
