winter wonderland

"Oh the weather outside is frightful" 
"but the fire is so delightful"
                                                   "let it snow, let it snow, let it snow"
Enjoy the weekend full of fun.  It seems a bit of winter wonderland may be coming our way!
Take time out for a bit of holiday fun, be it caroling, wrapping or adding some spirit to your punch -
Happy Friday to each of you!

ratatouille's ratatouille


My husband spent many years living in the South of France and learned to make a mean ratatouille. There are a few versions, but one really just needs, garlic, onion, olive oil, eggplants, pepper, squash and zuchini and some herbs. Eating a diet which consists of good fats and veggies is part of eating a meditteranean diet which has many positive health benefits.
Do you prepare ratatouille?
You must try smitten kitchen's ratatouille's ratatouille. rat-tat-too-ee-for-you!
Enjoy with a piece of fresh fish and a glass of French wine.

invites


A bit of Fall is in the air as we prepare for back to school events and the invites begin to roll in for Autumnal parties and benefits. The above illustration for Sheridan Road Magazine shows a stack of invites and r.s.v.p's falling into place.

I have been noticing some pretty metallic golds, and richly hued envelopes. I just love pretty invites for Soirees. Next time you are preparing to host a party, think of the envelope or a custom hand illustrated invite. Happy to design one for you and your invite!

tech talk

The collection of sketches were illustrated for "Sheridan Rd" magazine - vol.4 no.5 2010.
The article, written by the Editorial Director, "Kate Ancell" - titled "Tech Talk" is all about etiquette for the use of social media.
Everyone seems to be on a line of some sort where ever I go.
My inspiration for this article was right out my window, birds on a line.



Long ago....the opera glasses were for pure entertainment and viewing pleasure, however now, the computer seems that it is a stage full of pictures embedded without any sort of concern over one's privacy.




Do you remember talking on the phone with the cord? Now the home phone seems to be purely for telemarketers and a barren wasteland for recorded messages. Texting seems to be the way we talk now.


How reachable are you? Is your blackberry your "plus one" and always at your side? Are you hopelessly devoted to tech talk? Are you?

Finished up some work for Sheridan Road Magazine and am excited to see it in the actual magazine. (SR at home is based in the midwest, in Chicago - one of my favorite cities!)
Hop on over and take a look at the site, lots of great stuff at Sheridan Road Magazine here.
