las vegas paperdoll now retailing plain zane

Anne Kellogg, owner of Las Vegas Paperdoll stationery boutique saw the article in LVHD and placed an order for her store. She is a big supporter of the local arts and was excited to add my line to her store. I have been to her store and it is just the place I would want to have my line in - it's modern, cool and artsy! Thanks Anne!

awesome light!

I have been admiring this pendant by German designer, Ingo Maurer. I'd love to put it in the new house over the kitchen island. It looks so simple, but it is genius and I hate to replicate it or find a knock-off. This one runs over $1000!!

plain zane asked to donate gift bags for the andre agassi charitable event

Jonathan (PR for Plain Zane) got a call today from Distinctive Assets to contribute my goods for the gift bags for The Grammy's next year and The Andre's 12th annual Grand Slam for Children Event on October 6, 2007, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Andre loves to support local businesses and wanted different items for the bags. It was an exciting day in PR for the company, but it I was a bit concerned about my time invested over the money it would cost to partake in the event. The LVHD article keeps on giving back! Anything for Andre, right??? We shall see...

our trip to the big apple... nyc! june 11-13

Fallon and I met Jonathan at the Pittsburgh airport to fly together to NYC. We were all pretty tired, but so excited for our quick vacation together. It was so nice to get on a short flight and be in NYC in an hour and a half!! It had been so long since either of us had been there, but we mostly excited for Fallon to see the tall buildings, cabs, FAO Schwartz (and Eloise at the Plaza), eat a dirty NYC hot dog, take her on the subway and see Central park, etc. It is much more different to vacation with a child. And of course, I was all too excited to hit some favorite spots like Balthazar, Soho, Chinatown, Little Italy, H&M, Century 21 and all the fun shopping (no tax!). Jon was just happy to be away from work!! Click here to see the summer slide show.

mateo's graduation from kindergarten!!

We attended Mateo's graduation in Columbus today - I can't believe that he will be in first grade! It was so cute to watch the little kids review everything they learned in a production which consisted of songs, spanish, stories, etc! They learned so much and Mateo is growing so fast. All the kids got to say all their names and when it came to Mateo, he was so loud everyone laughed, but I cried! It was so cute and I was so proud to see that Mateo had learned so much.

leaving for ohio

Dinner at Makino Japanese buffet.

Fallon and I flew to Ohio with Mom and Dad tonight. We booked a redeye, hoping Fallon would pass out in the plane before take-off, but the excitement actually kept her up a little and messed up her schedule even more. We arrived in Pittsburgh and I was instantly feeling relaxed since there was nothing I could to as far as moving, sewing or living my non-stop life!! It was great to be away! I can't wait to relax for the next few days!
