And now for something completely different...

My favorite partner Lucinda and I...

have been very busy the last few weeks getting all our hand painted and crafted treasures together to fill up our space at Leaping Lotus in Solana Beach

We both are loving how it's turning out, with plans to add much more throughout the holidays, and even cultivating ideas on the next look for the new year.

Please come by to visit our shop on the second floor...along with all the other wonderful treasures in this delightful location in the Cedros Design District.

But the something different is...

 I'm taking off today to meet up with 

my sister Pia from Manhattan... 

for a week long painting workshop in Sedona AZ...

YIPPPEEEE!!!

The workshop is at the Sedona Arts Center which offers so many amazing art classes and workshops.

We will be learning from my favorite artist

Carol Marine

who is part of the Daily Paint Works group...

I love, love, love her simple and "on purpose" brush stokes!

I'm so excited, even though Sedona is way colder than my So Cal bones are used to...I'll be painting and posting along the way!

Stay tuned and hopefully...

enjoy!
