the impermanent nature

A few new sculptures by Landon!

Working on setting up disqus as many of you recommended, though it still doesn't solve the problem of my posting on other blogs and having to check back like a creep for responses, pooh. Blogger, I shake my fist at you! If you come and notice your comment has disappeared fret not! They should be up and running in no time, I hope O_O.

The New Discourse Archives (an exciting new project. Landon's out right now interviewing a personal favourite of mine!)
The Company of People (working on a huge update for this one, also exciting.)

sheer delight

The fourth piece from The Loved One's collection named "sheer delight" (ehhehe).

Dear Blogger/Google, why have you not updated your commenting system to include replies? I so miss the days of livejournal when you could start proper dialogues in the comments. Please, powers that be, add a reply button to respond to each comment individually! :D

home tomorrow

My time in Los Angeles ended on a super positive note with everything at our sewers, the showroom organized and a most delicious punch-filled friday night sale (charming Meg snapped some photos of the event that you can see here). Tomorrow we return to New York and I plan on hibernating in our home for as long as I possibly can upon our arrival. This year has seen us in more airports than any year prior and while I do love a bit of adventure and hard work abroad I can't help but feel terribly homesick for my own surroundings and neglected friendships (plus staying in one place for more than a month means I can finally have kittens).

KITTENS!

ps. I should specify that these pictures are from Sedona, AZ. So crazy beautiful there! We celebrated an early thanksgiving with Landon's family while on the west coast.

in sleepy town

Pictured above: One of Tara-Lynn's deliciously soft cowls, the Belleville Shawl and the familiar round these parts  Carlington Scarf. See more incredibly cozy knits here.

A couple months ago I received a glorious delivery of lovingly crafted knits from Canadian knitter and constant source of inspiration, Tara-Lynn. I've been meaning to make a post sharing this bundle but have found myself rather swamped this past month with various (exciting) duties in preparation for TLO's lingerie launch! Today we completed our hunt for the perfect fabrics in downtown Los Angeles and promptly began plotting our launch party(ies). If you are a Los Angeles lady and don't mind modeling in your skivvies please let me know! I'd love to set up an appointment with you this friday in our Altadena showroom (I will feed you mini chocolate bars, assorted fancy nuts, something with cheese and coffee).

Alright friends, the allergy pill that I took after greedily filling myself with said miniature chocolate bars is taking it's toll and I'm starting to make up words. I promise one day I'll write a post of true substance and not just a post containing brief updates and a promise of better posts to come. I'm the shopping mall Santa of the blogging world. Full of empty promises and allergy medication. I see a kitty is coming to visit me and that is most definitely my cue to get off of here and enter kitty dreamland.

(ps. I believe it was 100 today, which may also account for my abnormal sluggishness, can you imagine? 100 in November? Well, when I was a little girl there was often snow in the first week of November! Granted, I was living significantly north of my present location. See this? wondrous allergy medication at work, turning me into your grandpa.)
