So here is a taste of Galbraith & Paul’s textile patterns.

I have a sample of the Houndstooth-Mauve, Thorny Rose-Honeymoon and one from the woodgrain collection. The fabrics are well-made and the colors are deep. Theses punchy fabrics are sure to be a eye catcher in your home or apartment. At least a couch pillow would be nice…

Delayed Flights. Movers. U-Haul trucks. Lots of Coordinating. More movers. Furniture deliveries. Curtain hanging (thanks to Mom’s help and creative ingenuity) And at night yummy dinners. Long walks across the Brooklyn Bridge. a new Church on Sunday. All is good. We were even compelled to play “i spy” out my apartment window…

Back with more for all my lovely readers, family and friends when life allows for more “down time”. 

Happy Monday!

xo! julie

The reason? My sister-in-law and I have a little something up our sleeves that we have been working away on. One of her little dancers shared her sweet smile and precious spirit with us under the blazing hot sun and miserable humidity for two solid hours. She did everything that was asked of her, and was  real trooper. She is a character and FUN to photograph.

\

Finally we took her inside for a change of clothes, water break and a whole lot of AC + a cold stone floor.

And when it was all done we got to see her new addition to her dance bag :: dance foot undeez by capezio for modern, lyrical and jazz dancers

and for now, it’s a wrap!

I have an complete obsession with maps. I like old, new, vintage, graphic, colorful…and I like maps of the world, regions, transportation systems…they never cease to amaze me.

The “floral” states represent the a portion of the southeast served by the company. More to come, and the revealing of the new site will be UP and running soon!
