My 2 Cents

By

I’ve been designing forever but I’m the absolute worst at documenting my work, bar none.  In this age of Facebook where there are those that archive their every moment, I let my work go for months and years with nary a flash.  But now that’s all changed!  I’m on the blog train, and I’m so excited to share my thoughts, passions, and experience I’ve gained over the past many years.

I recently opened the front three rooms of my 1924 Italianate home as a showroom.  Since one space is my dining room, I thought I’d set a different table every month as a fun way to introduce myself.  I’ve always loved setting tables–for me, it’s the very best part of entertaining–and I’ve collected an embarrassing  amount of dishware along the way.  Now I not only have a place to use my stash, but I get to show off a very favorite form of design. So you’ll see table settings on this blog, but also work in progress and nuggets of wisdom gained over a lifetime of practice.  I’m one of the lucky ones who gets to work every day in a field that I love and it’s time to share the secrets.

BTW, did you realize that the sign for cents has been removed from the keyboard?  Every time I need it, I’m again surprised that it’s gone (what—every 5 years or so?).  It’s probably been missing for years—wait, let me look that up.  Oh, it went away in the 1970’s with the advent of personal computers.   Obviously a good call!
