Of the Young & the Restless is a fab-U-lous textile design studio that creates vibrant hand-printed fabrics. 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…

up our sleeves…

Despite the heat index of well over 110 degrees down here in the South, we took it outdoors for a photo + video shoot. 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!
