Bold and Beautiful

Here's one of my new favorite necklaces. I'm so excited about how bright colors are the big fashion story this Spring and Summer! 

Tragedy at Episcopal

Yesterday was a very sad day around Jacksonville, FL. Dale Regan, my private high school's Headmaster was murdered in her office by a teacher who had been fired the previous day. Ms. Regan had been at Episcopal for more than 30 years and was known as a visionary leader. Just to prove how much she was respected by students, my entire news feed on Facebook was friends talking about personal stories Ms Regan had played in their lives. Whether it being helping getting into colleges or just stopping to say "hi" in the hallways. It's a sad day for the Episcopal community in Jacksonville. If you would like to read more about it click here or here. Please be praying for Ms Regan's family as well the teacher's family. 

One of my best friends is a teacher at Episcopal and posted this very fitting song yesterday after she was finally able to go home.

Busy Bee

I'm still busy with my 3 customs orders but I found time to make this little Spring item...

I'm loving this color this season! 

I'm Back

Wow, I'm not doing so well blogging lately, am I? Maybe it's because it's winter and we haven't done too much. Maybe it's because Ben has had something almost every weekend. Or maybe it's because I've been working on 4 things over the past few weeks and since they're still not completed there's nothing to blog about, besides the necklaces that I posted last week. However, we actually got out this weekend and enjoyed our lovely city with some friends. It felt so good to be out and about with Ben! Friday night we had dinner with some friends at a Tapas like restaurant called, Txikito. It's also on Grub Street's top 101 restaurants in NYC. If you live in the city or whether you're visiting, I would suggest you take a look at this list. Saturday night we started with an early dinner in the West Village at a restaurant called, Low Country. It's a great southern style restaurant with fried pickles (although not near as good as the south - but at least they're trying!) Before we walked in the restaurant the sun was setting over the Hudson through the tiny neighborhood streets of the Village and was a perfect picture I tried to capture. Although, it didn't nearly begin to do it justice.

After dinner it was time for the Texas Independence Day Concert at Terminal 5. Even though it was a fairly good country line-up we were there to see Pat Green! He brings me right on back to college when he used to frequent the Auburn campus. 

We ended the weekend with lunch after church with some of our friends in from Charlotte at Eat Here Now and then a stroll through Central Park where we saw the first hint of Spring!! We finally landed at the MET to see The Stein Exhibit which was fascinating and wonderful. The exhibit will be there until June 3, so go if you can! After our big weekend I'll be resting up (and working.)
