isn’t this fun… I mean, just look at that face?! I’m having the time of my life. Every day is a new adventure and a blast. This month I’m thrilled and extremely grateful to have been featured in two local publications, 360 West and Modern Luxury. I want to extend a special thank you to the two incredibly gifted women who included me, Meda Kessler (Editor, 360 West) and Rebecca Sherman (Writer, Modern Luxury - and yes! that was her amazing house last week!).
A huge honor to be included in both publications - more info on each story below.

360 West
360 West is magazine that is based on the Western side of the Metroplex (aka Fort Worth and surrounding areas). Editor Meda Kessler is a rockstar and wrangles the content, writing and design this magazine monthly, huge task - the thought of what she does monthly is daunting. The woman runs circles around me.
The article in 360 is a great write up about the blog with fun photos (the one above is our sweet little Shiba Inu, Logo Sano) taken in our home by Allison V. Smith and very well written by Meda.
Full story here.

(LOOK! It’s Logo! - she’s so excited she made the magazine)

Modern Luxury
The ML article is a fascinating round up of creative people crossing over and expanding into other areas of creativity. “Reinvention is the mother of necessity for Dallas designers in a challenging economy. Meet a cast of creatives who are rewriting their résumés and loving it.” I’m ecstatic to be included with so many other amazingly talented artists.

Other creatives featured here are: (this article is a must-read)
Julie Cohn, textile designer
John Buell, graphic designer
Jan Jones, photo stylist and Lisa Martensen, magazine and catalog biz vet
Elizabeth Barrett, president and CEO of a white glove delivery service
