Thank you!

As I embark on my last book signing for Creativity at Work until the new year, I want to take the time to thank you all.  Thank you to everyone who has bought the book and sent me kind messages and thank you to all the showrooms and stores who have hosted signings.  They include, Design Legacy, Archivia Books, Indigo Books, Hudson Grace, Jayson Home, and Flair Home.  

My friend recently told me the story of a book signing he attended for a fashion designer.  He was told that the designer would not speak to anyone.  What's the point of scheduling a signing if you're not going to be nice to your fans?!  The best part of book signings is meeting people in person whom I've only interacted with online.  It's fun to meet long time blog readers and those who just found the site.  I love asking what everyone does and I enjoy talking to those who work in design and those who wish they did. Hopefully, the book will inspire some to take a leap. 

It's also been very exciting and surreal to see my Creativity at Work on the shelves of two of my favorite stores in New York, Bergdorfs and Barneys. The response has been great and I'm so thrilled that so many of you are enjoying it.  If you haven't picked up a copy yet, I hope you will check it out or consider it for a holiday gift. The ability to photograph and write a second book depends on how well the first one does, so I hope you will support the book and me. 

I will announce book signings for 2013 as soon as they are confirmed. 

Thank you and Happy Holidays!

Calm Before the Storm

Since we're about to be hunkered down at home for the next two days, I'm glad I was able to get out and about recently. I saw a lot of great decorations and preparations for Halloween as well as beautiful changing leaves.  Hope they don't get ruined by hurricane Sandy and you all stay safe and sound. 

I also want to thank everyone who came out to my book signing for Creativity at Work at Archivia Books today.  We actually almost sold out of the books which was amazing for the day before a hurricane.  If you couldn't make it and want a signed copy, you can call Archivia Books to order one.  I will walk over and personally inscribe it for you.

Book Buzz, Outtakes and Signing Reminder

Only one more week until my book Creativity at Work is released!  Woo hoo! I've slowly been giving out my personal copies to those featured in it and I gave interior designer Bunny Williams a copy before I left for High Point.  It means the world to me that not only did she love the book but also ordered it for her store Treillage. I can't wait to walk down the street and see it on display.  She also posted some photos from it on her blog Bunny's Buzz but I thought you might want to see some outtakes too.  I took hundreds of photos of each subject but only 10-15 made it into the book which made choosing very difficult. 

Big thanks to W magazine for choosing Creativity at Work as one of the best new art and fashion books for fall 2012!  

I also want to remind you that I have another advance book signing at Archivia this Sunday.  The book won't be released until October 30th so you have a chance to snag a copy a few days early. Be there or be square!

Habitually Chic Book Signings

I'm thrilled to announce that my very first book signing will be this weekend at the High Point Furniture Market.  Creativity at Work will not be released until October 30th so this is your chance to get an advance copy and sip a glass of champagne in the brand new Design Legacy showroom.  They are one of my favorite vendors and I can't wait to see how they style their new larger space. The ribbon cutting will take place Friday, October 12th at 9:00am.
