A glimpse into my studio: buttons, buttons, buttons!

Where have I been? Where have YOU been? I hope outside playing and enjoying summer. I’ve been splitting my time between a stack of library books and doing time in the studio. And I’ve been photo-journaling my summer over on Evidently.

I’ve also been thinking a lot about the fall launch and making plans, sourcing new products, and getting ready for the big 2 year Anniversary in August. There will be a SALE! as always and I hope you’ll tune in to see all the new and amazing things I have in store for Mireio as we head into the Fall.

But not just yet… soon! I’ll keep you all posted and hope you’ll keep in touch! There’s still plenty of time for playing in the sun and I’m hoping to squeeze in some of that while I work on all the surprises in store for Mireio!

So, tell me… what have YOU been doing?

My beautiful friend Kerri (Her inspiring blog is Ten Things)  is hosting an amazing series this month about Ten Inspiring Women. She’s asked ten artists a wide array of questions — from our best  mantra to our favorite beauty product — and is featuring our answers over the next few weeks. It’s a great way to get to know the woman behind the art! And I’m certainly looking forward to learning more about all the great artists she’s featuring! So, go have a look and get inspired! (And consider signing up for the next round in late Summer/early Fall!)

A sweet surprise! Sunshine in my mail.

I was a bit absent from Mireio last week. It was my 40th birthday and I spent the week hanging out with my little family and soaking in all the love  coming my way. But I’m back and I excited to start working and blogging about all the Spring in store for Mireio.

I’ll start by sharing these fabulous earrings that arrived in the mail last week.  (And I’ll just add, what a way to celebrate your 40th birthday!) My lovely friend, Kerri, sent me these handcrafted bits of Spring. I so admire Kerri’s work and have been meaning to buy something for ages. But, I’ll confess, I have a hard time buying for myself. Do you have that problem too? I’m happy to indulge friends and family, but splurging on me is much, much harder to do!

So, you can imagine my delight to receive these stunning earrings, so beautifully wrapped,  and a birthday note wishing me all the best at I enter this next decade. Such a thoughtful, generous, and lovely gesture—just like Kerri!

Thank you, thank you dear friend!

You can find more of Kerri’s work in her Etsy store Ten Things. Go treat yourself!

Welcome to February: An Inspiring Month!

This is my birthday month—and this year is a BIG milestone for me. (ssh, don’t tell, but I’m turning a blissful four oh boy!) So, I’ve decided to spend the month blogging about all the things that inspire me most. Everything from the vistas that promise serenity, to the frenetic energy of my newly minted teenager, to the ideas and sights that get me motivated to make and create it. There is a whole lot of beauty out there and I hope you’ll join me this month while I do my best to record it!

In the same  vein, it turns out Victoria, of SF Girl By the Bay,  is hosting a Blog it Forward mash-up this month themed on Inspiration and after reading about it over on Kerri’s gorgeous blog, I thought, “Why not? It fits in perfectly with my plans to blog all that inspires me this month as I turn 40!”  I hope you’ll sign up too and tell the world about YOUR inspirations.

So, this is it—February. A month of romance and violets and all things sweet and wonderful and a whole lot of inspiration!
