Here's to welcoming the transition of the seasons and preparing for my favorite time of year!
Summer's Bounty
I'm enjoying the last of summer's bounty--just in time for the first day of Fall.
A Study in White
For a year, I had the most amazing studio space in Cincinnati. It was all natural light and gorgeous urban decay, painted with layer upon layer of cloud white. There was something about the brightness that made everything sing with color and texture.
Sprinkles
I feel as if every Monday morning needs a happy pop of color, don't you?
Lily in Flux: Cincinnati, Ohio Jewelry Designer and Artist
Lizz, who helms the brand Lily in Flux, is one of my very favorite clients because her pieces are so eclectic and original. I'm always so excited to visit her studio and discover what amazing thing she has dreamed up next. Visit her shop here and be inspired!
Monday Morning
There's really nothing quite like a great cup of coffee on a Monday morning--especially my very favorite local selection. Carabello Coffee is located in Newport, Kentucky, where they have a roasterie and craft coffee bar. I make sure to stop in a few times weekly and also keep some beans on hand for a much-needed java fix at my own convenience. What's perhaps most meaningful is how Emily and Justin Carabello have used their business as a means to create change, challenging the norms of fair trade and farmer-direct supply lines, ensuring that the people who grow their coffee can improve and expand their own lives. How inspiring is that? You should check out their story here and you should definitely try their coffee. Trust me, it's worth it!
