The rare and fanciful style squab strikes a pose. Who are you wearing?
My very first lesson in color. A well worn classic illustrated by Alice and Martin Provensen who wrote and illustrated over 50 books. Martin also designed Tony the Tiger for Kellogg’s in 1952. Ah… Frosted Flakes—my all time favorite cereal growing up. It made my dentist a rich man.

Design Inspiration: A fascination with vintage flatware makes it’s way to the modern table. Our damask placemat for modern-twist. Gone are the golden (or more aptly silver) days of lemon forks and sardine tongs. Really, a fork just for lemons?
Fashion Friday: It must be genetic. Another little treasure from the sketchbook of my mother who oddly has no memory of her brief foray into fashion. In her defense, the 50s were awhile ago.
One from the vault… circa 2002. Illustration for an office “skate night out” invitation. And yes, this former snow bird can spin, arabesque (one leg) and skate backwards.
