Thanks to Denise at
Little Pheasant, pictured below, for introducing me to the great podcast series
Hey Brooklyn. I have to admit I was behind the times and didn't really know much about podcasts, but I hugely enjoyed listening to Denise and Lotta talk about their businesses. Check out Denise's interview
here. There are plenty more great people profiled (new ones every Friday) at
Hey Brooklyn's site.
I've followed
Lotta Jansdotter for years, always intrigued with her pattern designs and simple, natural approach to products. I wear one of her linen aprons in my floral studio. So I was so happy to finally get to know her personality and hear about her upcoming projects. Check out her interview
here.
In other news, it seems like I've fallen off the blogging wagon. I could blame it on the insane heat wave we've having in Austin, or on the fact that my husband finally arrived from New Zealand a couple weeks ago, but really I'm just having a very meditative summer. Sometimes you just have to sit and be quiet for a while to figure out which way to go.
