the comfort of memories

-both of my boys got some sort of gun from Santa...

so we have been saying all the day long-

"you'll shoot your eye out-kid!

thank you so much from face-to-face for such a great year.

We have learned alot, grown alot, and been thank-full-ALOT.

we have some fun changes around he corner so stay-tuned.

Merry Christmas.

growing right in our own back yard-

just ran across the new garden party the girls at "the vine" are having-

you should follow this-it is soul full.

the perfect present.

TIMBER.

never crossed my mind to get a photo-
sitting (first time all day) admiring one of our prettiest trees-
enters our 1 year old Lab Jake- aka "marley"
crash.

then there is this.

can I keep this one?

better listen!

face to face had such a jolly time last night at the shop sip & see at Ziggy's on St. Simons Island.

we saw some pretty shiny things- pretty faces- and really pretty ideas for stocking stuffers

Our big hit was our happy handmade ornaments and our knob-knockers (yikes).

little signs with expressions that remind you of things you don't want to forget.

I hope you enjoyed your blessings this thanksgiving.

Jack Spencer-"where have you been all my life?"

Jack Spencer's Restless Art: "“This, I suppose, is the definition of art. It is an act of digging around in the minutiae of existence to find profound meaning in the simplest things. To be eternally curious. To play. Then to translate that fascination, curiosity, and play into something tangible to share with others."

you must read DOMINIQUE BROWNING'S piece on Jack Spencer.

tore open the shutters & threw up the sash...

not sure if it's the lure of old wood, the old song lyrics bringing back thoughts of youth or a combination of both that is drawing the crowds to the nostalgia of our Christmas pieces. We made 600 two days ago and they are almost gone!

they arrive in this brown bag dressed in thoughts of giving.

it's a thought-

today my son said-so mom-do you have a towel that reads
" mad wife bad life"

Sunday in America.

a thankful place to gather-

i love this table. such a thankful state of mind.
and all made with the simpliest of ingredients-

traveling over the holidays? face to face framing & design has the perfect conversation piece for you to leave behind in the guest room-

here comes st. nick

-CHANGE IS COMING. ONE NOVEMBER. STAY TUNED.

-what she said

8.11.2010

emptied

tapped-out

working in the creative field can be so demanding for design is quite personal...

an extension of yourself.

for me,

it's hard to separate work from life

the blurring of

the line is beautiful

but sometimes it can be quite taxing

you never know when to stop.

step away.

refuel.
