The Scarves are Here!

Scarves
Oh poor neglected blog. I know I have been ignoring you but I have good reason! So much is happening chez this is love forever. One big, gigantic thing, or should I say two: these scarves. My design partner Lauren and I just launched a print design company called Rue + Jane (named after our lovely grandmothers) and we recntly designed these scarves, now available at Anthropologie!
We are dizzy with excitement, as you can imagine.

Susy Pilgrim Waters / Illustrator and Designer

My pal Susy Pilgrim Waters is one talented lady! She's a textile and print designer, illustrator, painter and product designer to name a few. And, she's the illustrator of a new gorgeous children's book called Grandma and the Great Gourd: A Bengali Folktale. She and the author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, will be signing books on May 8th at 2pm in the beautiful New York Public Library. Here are a few of her illustrations from the book:

Colorful Scenes From My Sunday

Sunday2

My sweet Sunday so far: lounging in bed, working on lots and lots of crafty projects (quilts! keychains! papercutting! pajaki!) and organizing my jewelry. Later, there will be kebab eating, a nice long walk and then Game of Thrones!
