Rabbit Hole Updates

Well after De-Lovely, The Great Gatsby and Death on the Nile, I am in full nesting mode. I have been pulling inspiration, painting and scouring flea markets, shops and ebay for pieces to add to the Rabbit. Hole. I am in Art Deco mode so research has been fun. I recently bought a vintage suitcase and hadn't been hit by any inspiring ways to make it over as it was a dingy shade of white from years of use. I plan on repurposing it for storage above my cabinets and finally got an idea to make it pop. I plan on painting the wall above the cabinets gray once the rents come to visit so I think this will really stand out once that is done. I think it turned out lovely even if I did get a little particular with a paint brush at the end to clean up the edges. It may not have shown but I would have known.

Halfway painted. See the difference?

Marking off with tape for the stripes.

First coat of Pink

All done and ready to be "packed"

Trapeze!!!!!

I finally used the gift certificate I got for Christmas from my little sis, Jill. She and I took Trapeze lessons when she came to visit me last year and she knows how much I love it. So last week I took another class and I am kicking myself for waiting so long. It is SO DARN FUN!!!! I have learned new tricks every time and they are getting so fancy and cool. Today I was so excited to try the set split. It just looks so circusy and trapezey! I know that neither one of those are words but that is the only way to describe it. I let me camera run and got a video that ,while it is crap lighting you can see my catch on my new trick LOVE IT! Take a look.

Me and LD back in da day

My former assistant from Quiksilver was in town this week and she crashed at my place while she was here. It was fun to catch up and have girl time. As I was archive digging tonight I ran across this gem from one of our QS Waterman shoots. We always knew how to throw a little fun into an otherwise tedious project with our Mannies, Bryan and Chad. Oh the days.

Henri Bendel

I am in Love. It happened quite suddenly although I met him years ago. We rekindled our affair on Fashion's night out a few months back and now it's official, I am head over heels. :) His name is Henri and I love everything about him. I want to be a Bendel Girl for the rest of my life. All illustrations by Izak Zenou who does Incredibly beautiful work. Oh to be THAT talented....swoon.
