A surprise in a barn

Yesterday I received a phone call from my son Daniel who is a talented photographer, he was taking photos at an event that took place in a little barn behind a beautiful farmhouse out in the tiny village of Charlotte VT which is one village away from our home, he was excited by what he saw and made me promise to go and check it out, I was very intrigued, I knew about this shop in our village Chez Boheme that had amazing textiles and a wonderful story but they closed and I was sure they just moved on, they did! to the little barn in Charlotte! So went and met some really lovely and talented women and indeed the shop is amazing!!

visiting is by appointment only, checkout the website for more information and if you can't visit checkout the Etsy shop!

Some wonderful art

My beloved sister Miri is a fantastic artist, she has been creating art since she was a tiny, always a pencil or brush in hand, she went to the School of the Museum of Fine Art in Boston and has shown her work in countless shows and galleries over the years, she's also been teaching art for many years at the Design Dept. of  Shenkar College and Holon Institute in Israel were she lives.

A few years ago she started selling her beautiful prints on Etsy, the work is printed on super high quality Italian paper, the quality is so great it's hard to tell it's a print and the prices are amazingly affordable, these will make such wonderful gifts, I love displaying them on my art walls, they also look great in the kitchen and kids rooms!

Highly recommended!...and not just because she is my sister....

here is a sample of some of her work.

Our Studio

 

It's exactly one year and three months since we moved the studio out of the house and into it's new quarters, here is the blog post I wrote last year the day we moved in:

Yes! it's a love story! since we moved in two weeks ago I've been so inspired and totally in love with our new studio! it was not an easy decision, after working from home...i.e a corner in our dining room for the last 7 years I have grown so used to the easiness of it all, but in reality the business outgrew the little corner and now with all three kids in and out of college Ronen and I felt  we need to start our chapter three. We found a wonderful space in Burlington, just 10 minutes away by car called The Karma Birdhouse a studio and office complex in a beautiful old industrial building with the perfect Maglianero Cafe on the ground floor and a great collection of communal lounge spaces including a fully equipped kitchen a gallery and a conference room with a killer view of the lake when works gets overwhelming and we need a break. The studio itself is not very big but so much more spacious then what we had at home, everything has its place and it's so easy to navigate including a special corner to take photos with a low white table and tons of beautiful white light , the windows are enormous, the ceilings are 15ft high! and I love the big brick wall! so here is a little photo tour:

The building, cafe and communal lounge spaces

this is what you see when you walk into our studio, A little art collection on the brick wall that is a mix of some of my favorites: starting on the left:  the "Supercali" poster is from Etsy by Edubarba, the black and white Vu De L'exterieur print is by Field Guided, the colorful abstract print called He and I is from Etsy by Brittany Bass, the big pink For Like Everposter is from Super- Rural , to the right of the poster: the top is a beautiful landscape print from my sister's Etsy shop Flora Art Print Shop, beneath it is a black and white photo of Vermont Trees by our dear friend and photographer Jan cannon, on the floor, a giant heart by Rifle Paper co and a New York poster that is actually gift wrapping paper I purchased at Paper Source and framed... the chairs are Ikea, the bright yellow table lamps are West Elm and the rug is an old Kilim that's been in my family since I was a little girl.

To the right is Ronen's desk, to the left is mine

 

 

 I got the Chinese Doll in Chinatown San Francisco, some of my fabric collection, Ronen's corner, with two prints by Edubarba

Sketches of  the new Spring Collection on my mood board, bottom right a custom sign I commissioned from Susan Ball's shop

 

 

 

 

 When I work I like to display the new pieces on the mannequin, here draped with my favorite  

Orla Keily scarf , you can get all the necklaces in the shop

 

 

 

 This is my very messy work table
