Don't feed the animals (or designers)

Lilly Pulitzer is going to be on Martha Stewart tomorrow and to celebrate we are throwing a party in the Madison Ave store.  All of the print designers will be painting on site.   I haven't seen it in person yet but the idea is that two designers will be painting in the window as a sort of live art while making art.  This should be interesting...

Lilly Print Event at C.Orrico

I had the most wonderful time painting at C.Orrico in Palm Beach last weekend.  All of the Orrico sisters are so much fun and had a keg and hot dogs grilling for customers all day.  The Lilly lovers I met were amazing and told me all about their prized pieces.  Lilly Pulitzer dropped by which was of course a highlight.  Torie and I painted from 11 am to 7:30pm...we went through at least 50 paintings! Stay tuned for the next print event...The Martha Stewart Show!!

Post Cards

I think this painting is so charming.  My Aunt Heidi sent me a post card of it from the Toledo Museum of Art.  It's titled "After the Meeting" and is by Cecilia Beaux.  Heidi is so cute, she wrote "Somehow I like the combo of this chintzy chair and black stripe!" I totally agree with her!

If i designed outerwear...

Every once in a while I wish I was a fashion designer, mostly so I could design things for myself and then go back to painting and designing prints.  I wish someone could make the above cape for me in navy blue cashmere...

A snowy morning in Rittenhouse Square...

It was so nice to walk through the park covered in snow the other morning.  I love that there was already a snowman made at 8 am.

SAVE THE DATE

My sister Shaw is getting married this year and I couldn't be happier for her and Will!  Here is the save the date card that I illustrated for them.   

The Philadelphia Story

Have you seen "The Philadelphia Story?" I watched this movie when I first moved to Philadelphia and fell in love with it.  It's beautiful to watch and has the most amazing cast.
