London Part 2 - Small World

I was sitting outside the Tate Modern with my family and some friends that live in England who were spending the day with us. We were snacking on some luscious strawberries from Borough Market when I happened to notice an adorable pigtailed girl with a pink balloon in a dress with an overall heart pattern. And then I realized the fabric was from the All My Heart collection that I designed for Robert Kaufman. I went inside the museum a few minutes later and there she was again. I introduced myself to her family who had just recently moved to London from the U.S.

Here is Lizzy with her balloon at the Tate Modern.


Here she is showing me her dress, doesn't she look great?


And here are the details on the back of the dress.


Thanks to Lizzy and her family for allowing to snap these photos, it was such a treat to meet them at the Tate.



London and Amsterdam - Part I

I just returned from a whirlwind trip to London and Amsterdam. We got so lucky with the weather, sunny spring time weather everyday. We walked and walked and walked and then walked some more. Here are some of my favorite photos from the trip - click on each photo to enlarge.
