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!

Book Signing, Biscuits and Bloggers at Design Legacy

Everyone who came to my very first book signing at the new Design Legacy showroom in High Point commented that it was the perfect backdrop.  It was filled with pops of my favorite color orange that matched the book cover.  But it was also filled with their fabulous mix of vintage and new accessories, furniture, fabric, and great Southern hospitality.  Their new larger space also allows you to step back and get a good look at all the treasures.  I've gotten to know owner Kelly O'Neal and his team from the NYIGF and I was so honored that they hosted my book signing.  I was also thrilled that so many blogger friends, blog readers, and editors stopped by.  I'm even more excited that everyone who has seen the book so far has loved it.  I couldn't have asked for a better way to kick things off.  Thank you!

I borrowed this instagram photo from Woodson & Rummerfield designers Ron Woodson and Jaime Rummerfield who I love seeing in High Point! Talk about chic!

So much for going gluten free!
