Colette’s current collaboration is with The Selby, and a few of the homeowners (super-talented people in their own rights) featured on the website were asked to create pieces that would be sold. I love love love the flag necklace by Cheri Messerli of Scout Holiday.

Her home is the perfect combination of cozy and creative, and I love that she designs, illustrates, & styles for a living. It gives me some hope that it is possible to find a way to do everything you are passionate about. Luckily, Trang is going to Paris this month and since she is such a wonderful sister :) , maybe I can convince her to stop by Colette to pick me up some goodies if they aren’t sold out by then.

I’ve been sketching out ideas for a series of flag paintings for about a year now. This necklace was the perfect reminder to keep on going.

Oi, today I took the art content test for my certification. I’m ready to be done. I wish they carried over to other states- it would save me money and time. It wouldn’t have been so bad if I didn’t have a bloody migraine throughout the whole thing.

Thankfully, BJ picked me up right afterwards and we had brunch at Ruggles where they serve green tea with gingerbread cookies! Yummy.

Later, we treked downtown again to see Adventureland at the Angelika. I expected something totally different based on the preview(maybe it was the cheesy anouncer?), but I was happily surprised. It was beautifully shot, especially  the scenes taken before the evening, with just a little bit of light in the sky. Now I’m itching to buy nc film.

Later I  bought Fruitbars, cookies, and green grapes. We popped in Once. I sang along wishing I had musical talents. Again, another beautiful movie and a great way to end the night.
