What is the next...

Purchase you’ll make?

Reality? Probably milk. But fun money goes to Etsy where I hunt for everything from candles to tshirts to handbags and earrings. It's an obsession as well as a full time job.

Trend in design?

UPDATED 11/08: Simple, clean designs, clean color, just off whites. True ocean blues. No more chocolate and turquoise, we've moved onto a lighter, warmer brown and a deeper shade of blue/green. Still working the vintage looks, but a little less polyester and a little more prarie girl meets Renaissance. Feminine but down to earth at the same time if that makes sense. Less cold industrial more recycled industrail materials making something new with personality. But then I am speaking from what I notice, so perhaps I am not speaking of any trends, just what is catching my attention right now.

Car you’d like to own?

The new all electric, svelt sports car at www.teslamotors.com - oh yes, please.

Big step you’d like to make?

Financially justifying an assistant/apprentice.

Fad that will fade?

All fads fade. I seek timeless expressions, but then realize I too am caught up in fads as much as I'd love to say I'm not. The one fad I'm grateful for ending is low waisted jeans. I don't think everyones' gotten the memo, but I'm happy to announce the end of the look that only worked on 2% of the female population!

Vacation you’ll take?

ANY! Just give them to me and I'll take 'em!

Thing you’re going to fight for?

Respect for the Earth and all that live in her paradise.

Secret that’s going to leak?

I'm a freak. Oh wait, that isn't a secret.

Hollywood blockbuster going to be about?

Art and life and art and life and art and life....

Life you’ll lead?

Hopefully one I will be proud of.

Fountain of youth?

Joy. Forgiveness. Passion.

Book you’ll read?

That which bloweth me mind.

Thing that will change the world?

Ok, so LOVE came to mind first. But really, it's SELF LOVE. A lot of people think Love is the answer but they don't love themselves and they give and give and give to others out of love but still don't feel fullfilled. So self love is the real answer. Recognizing the magnificent potential within is the beginning, the whole universe stretches out from there.

Guilty-pleasure food in which you’ll indulge?

Candy - and my teeth hate me for it.

Person to whom you’ll say, “I love you”?

Anyone that I do love, and that's many.
