Saying goodbye to my 20’s–It’s my birthday!

After a month long celebration, today is finally the day I step out of my 20’s and onto that slippery, downhill slope of female aging!  Okay, I’m exaggerating.  I’m not really concerned at all about the aging process.  But it does feel somewhat monumental to enter this new decade.
Part of me feels like not a [...]

Halloween in New Hope, PA

With my birthday being so close to Halloween (October 29th), I always had really fun birthday parties with costume themes.  One year, my mom had my older brother’s dress up as monsters and lead us little girls through a “haunted house” complete with the wet spaghetti brains and peeled grape eyeballs!  Another year, as evidenced [...]

New China Cabinet in its Permanent Home

A week after my fabulous little 30th birthday party, I’m so excited to have my beautiful new China cabinet in my dining room.  I had to leave it at my parent’s while we figured out a place to put it, and a way to get it home!  Finally here it is, and it is so [...]

Mew’s 30th Birthday Celebration

I don’t actually turn 30 until October 29th, but I’m pumping up the big event for the entire month of October.  (The sale at the Mew shop is still going on until the 29th, don’t forget!)  Over the weekend, I had a wee little birthday celebration with a very small group of my dearest and [...]

Samantha Robinson Porcelain

This morning I was twitting around on twitter which led me to Ellie from Mint’s link which led me to a little ad in the sidebar for Coki’s blog called Milk Tooth’s Rain which led me to her post about Samantha Robinson’s porcelain work which led me to fall deeply and wildly in love with [...]

Just Breathe

Yesterday morning I woke up with a bad headache.  It had lingered over, since I had gone to bed with a bad headache the night before.  (I get headaches 3-5 times per week).  Dino brought me a glass of water and some Excedrin and asked/demanded that I stay in bed for an extra hour letting [...]

My Creative Space–Part 1

My home studio is hugely gigantic.  I live in a 2-bedroom condo, and the second bedroom is my studio.  I could work in the basement, but there is no window, it’s colder than hell (yes, my hell is a very cold place!) and there’s a kitty litter box that totally kills the vibe, you know?
Every [...]

Music is my boyfriend.

Someone recently was surprised when I told them I don’t really listen to music while I work.  Or watch TV for that matter.  I prefer silence mostly.  I think it’s because I can easily get distracted by songs that I know, and end up losing concentration pretty quickly.
This is not to say however, that music [...]

Time to move on, time to get going…

Time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead I have no way of knowing
Under my feet, grass is growing
So it’s time to move on, time to get going
Driving home late last night from a visit with old friends and co-workers I heard one of my favorite tunes from one of my favorite rockers—Tom [...]

What’s new at Mew? Bird Wedding Invitation with Belly Band

I think I’m on a cottage-y, vintage-y, garden-y kick these days and I think this new wedding suite certainly fits the vibe.

Shown here in sage green, ivory and chocolate brown, this two-layer invitation has a coordinating belly band to keep enclosures neatly in place. Birds, scrolling calligraphy and flourishing script give it a glamourous, [...]
