france.
i’ve been working really hard on my upcoming book (the french sketchbook, chronicle books). the book will be filled with sketches from my travel journals of france. curating this book is proving MUCH more difficult than meets the eye. i’m taking six sketchbooks and rolling them in one book, along with photos. i have an impending deadline and am trying to beat the clock !

jardin du luxembourg
paris, france.
i LOVE the scattering of green chairs throughout this garden. they tell such a story the way they are left positioned. in groupings, some facing each other, some facing away from each other, and the alone ones off by themselves. so obscure. so fascinating to me.

i fell in love with these leather wallets at the historical museum in belmont, vermont. they are from the 1800’s yet they are so au courant. i would love to be seen with either one of these TODAY !

marrakech, morocco
while in morocco, we went to a HAMMAM. it was such an incredible experience and i have NEVER felt more clean. the woman who cleaned us slathered black soap on our entire bodies and then, with great vigor, scrubbed us with a charcoal mitt. so painful, so pleasurable. it removes all of the dead skin (yes, she showed us) and leaves you as soft as a baby’s butt. she also washed and comb out my hair (score ! . . . i hate washing my hair). naturally, i bought many tubs of this mysterious black soap to bring home with me. and i can’t wait to go back…

red flag. (and pink and blue and striped, . . . )
2012 was a really GOOD year. i’ve been busy working on my FRANCE SKETCHBOOK (chronicle books). i absolutely despise post-it notes, but i am quite fond of these adorable post-it flags. they really spark joy !
