So, it's official I now have a new set of Notecards in my shop.
I have been getting lots of requests and many questions about my photographs and will now carry sets of my images in the store.
The first series is of images is from my studio,I hope you like them...the back is blank ready for your lovely words and they come with white envelopes and ties with bright pink ribbon and beads.
Have a fantastic week <3
Today is so wonderfully warm, we officially begun the season by hanging the laundry outside, I can never get enough of that fantastic smell the laundry has when it dries out in the sun, Ahhhhh.....I hope we never have to use the dryer again until next fall!
Jonathan (my 17 year old) and I spent all afternoon in the garden yesterday planting pots with herbs and flowers, tomorrow we will finish the kitchen garden, I learned a lot from last years experience and will dedicate a separate patch for the tomatoes and bean tepee this year, last year they grew so big they completely took over!
Here is a photo of last year lettuce crop:
I also covered the outdoor table with a bright orange piece of oilcloth and it is now our favorite place to sit:
and finally I made a few more of the Garden totes for my shop and noticed how similar it is to one of my favorite paintings by my mother:
happy gardening<3
In the last few weeks I got tons of wholesale orders, although it's very hard work I really enjoy it, but these last few days I worked so hard finishing two giant orders it was crazy...But, it's done!! I am so happy about it, tomorrow I am going for a long walk and then I think I'll go downtown, walk around and have lunch at my favorite Sushi place, yey!!!
One finished order waiting to be shipped (notice my new notebook,I love it)
We have a super busy month in front of us ,my parents in law are coming for a visit from Israel on the 22nd and my brother and sister in law with my three sweet nieces are coming as well , they are here in the states traveling.
We are having a Garden party in June to celebrate our youngest sons Bar mitzvah, so lots of planing ahead. I am basically doing most of it on my own, some of my girlfriends will help and I'll be ordering some things as well, it's a tea party ,cakes...tarts...cookies... cupcakes, we are decorating the garden with a mix of colorful Chinese lanterns, silk flowers with ribbons, giant tissue paper flowers hanging from the trees and a mix of flower printed tablecloths, Cath Kidston fancy paper plates in different prints mix in with big white ones,the whole thing will be a bit funky and a little different,he keeps reminding me not to make it too girly...I promise I won't have anything pink...gulp...no really, I chose aqua,orange,yellow and green.
And...if it rains will be moving the whole thing indoors and I decided I will NOT get upset, after all we ARE living in Vermont....
Some of the ribboned flowers I begun making...(these are the trial ones...I know they are pink...)
Here is my inspiration (from Living magazine)
The light was so beautiful this morning I had to take some more photos of the house
(we really need to get rid of those horrible shelves...)
The living room table with my latest book acquisition London Kitchens 
The red sofa. This week I will be redoing some of the pillows in lots of new chintz fabrics I got. 
So on this happy note with lots of exciting weeks ahead I leave you
have a great week<3
Today was a rainy day, the kids were off to friends,Ronen is writing a documentary film proposal, I spent the morning doing endless house work and walking in circles around my work table unable to sit down although I have a bunch of wholesale orders to finish, I'll do them tomorrow, today I really felt the urge to make something new and this is what came out, two hopelessly romantic Charm bracelets...where does this come from? I have no idea...
Voila! Here they are and also posted for sale in my Etsy shop:
Emma 
Lucy 
notice the cute little roses I used? aren't they sooooo pretty????
We are back from NYC, my it's good to be back home!
I think I am finally realizing that I might not be a city girl anymore...it was mobbed, millions of people everywhere, museums were packed, the streets were packed, even the park was packed, I guess everyone was outside because of the lovely weather,but after a while I started feeling that weird sense of being in some kind of battle....it made me remember why I moved to Vermont ...
Now don't get me wrong, I love NYC, I still enjoy my visits, it's good to feel the city buzzz, we saw some great exhibits at the MOMA, visited the New Museum which is a remarkable building, ate at Balthazar in Soho, walked up and down Spring st. and Broadway, went to the new Muji, and CB2 and I got to visit Anthropologie and H&M.
Traveling with three teens can be a little challenging at times... when they were little they all enjoyed a lot of the same things and we where very clear on what to do and what to see,I still have the urge to go the the Children's Zoo, the Merry- go- round in Central Park and the Natural History Museum... these days it's a totally different story, The boys were pulling in very different directions and it was a little over whelming at times....not to mention the three of them sitting and texting in the restaurant...uggggh!!! The only thing we seemed to all agreed on and I know it's totally wonderful, we ALL love art and food...
I managed to squeeze a little bit of shopping in too and when I got home I realized everything I bought matched...how funny.
Yellow glasses from Anthropologie
A stuffed cat from Pearl River
Tiny wooden spoons from Pearl River
An amazing scarf from H&M
Pretty Bobby pins from Anthropologie
A tiny pouch from fabric that looks like "Liberty of London"...maybe it is?
and here they are all together, see how they all match...
OK, back to work, I have tons of orders waiting to be made and sent.
