Behind the Scenes of a Vegan Python

Behind the scenes of a vegan python  (No that does not mean the snake eats grass) People as me about the price and the process for making our replica resin products.  It is a longer conversation but I wanted to share this image  of how a piece of our artificial python arrives.   As you can see it is true to the shape of a real python which means my designs  from material to the creation...

Shop Your Closet

I love accessories.   Clearly I am in the accessories business.    Recently I was talking to a stylist friend and she said I should blog about the inter play of shoes and our line.  I have a number of shoes and some that I just consider art.   The recent trends of primary colors, jungles and yellow made me pull out these Manolo Blahnik and pair them with the Ava Cuff and our Lemon Zest Audrey Foldover.  Please...

Memorial Day 2013

In the end we often find beginnings and that is certainly true in regards to the Civil War and the creation of Memorial Day.   We lost more then 600,000 soldiers in the Civil War, wow.   In April of 1865 we stopped fighting and in May of 1865 America began grieving, burying it's heros. As becoming one United Nations, we marked the first Monday of May as a national holiday dedicated to fallen soldiers in our military service.  That...

Mother's Day

"The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness.  You have to catch it."  - - Benjamin Franklin I love this quote because being a mom is one avenue through which I have pursued happiness with a vengeance.  Previously I went through a snarky period where I mocked what I called "Hallmark" holidays like Mother’s Day.  Now I embrace them, or as Benjamin Franklin advises, I catch them.  Why the change? ...

Twain with a Twain (Tombstone Tote)

"Apparently there is nothing that cannot happen today."   - - Mark Twain If you know me at all, you’ll know that Mark Twain inspires me to the nth degree!  I admire his life, his writings, his style – not everyone can pull off that mustache. Mulling over this quote, I am sure now that Twain was talking about unexpected joy, change and growth, the kind I’ve experienced first-hand since starting my company three years ago.  With...
