Red Roses

Blooming up good wishes! New Red Roses designs are available on LittleRedTulip.com!

I've been in a summery mood and loving the blooming flowers I see on trees and in gardens. It makes me smile to see the world in beautiful color and splendor with fragrant sweet smells drifting in the breeze. Ah, so inspiring! I felt like a new flower group to go with my Modern Garden lines and came up with modern red and yellow roses. They are available now on littleredtulip.com in a variety of stationery and desk products. Enjoy the bouquet this May!

Happy gardening!

My Modern Family Thanksgiving Treat!

I was watching one of my favorite shows, Modern Family, last night with my daughter when she started screaming with excitement. There on the screen was Cameron holding a tray for tea and the teapot and mugs were my design, Modern Garden! Wahooooo! I am so thrilled to have my dishware from Certified International included in the so very stylish home of Cam and Mitchell. Thanks so much Modern Family!!

Modern Garden grows at Ralphs

My friend Corine sent me a text with a picture of my dishes at the Ralph's grocery in Calabasas CA! Of course I had to go see for myself- what a great display they did! Thanks Ralphs! This is one of those moments of happiness, knowing I am doing work that makes me so happy AND I get to share it with others... even better.

Dishware

I wanted to share some pictures from the Certified International showroom at the Atlanta Gift Show. This was such a highlight of the trip for me, walking into the showroom and seeing my new collections with them on an endcap and center display table. It was a moment when I felt my heart racing with excitement as I saw the dishes for the first time myself.

I've always wanted to design for dishware. I love setting a beautiful table with personality and color. I like all things 'kitchen'- especially a good meal! My sister and I used to regularly check the sale area at Hudson's for our favorite dishes on clearance. Then we would piece together place settings from the bargains we would find. I think it feels festive and fun to have different moods to my plates for entertaining and eating. I've had to purge out many dishware collections through the years due to lack of storage. But now I think it's time to splurge and have fun with them again!!

The new collections I have with Certified are Modern Garden and Vino/Appetizers. Can't wait to get my own sets and toast to life, color, flowers and friends!
