Nourish: Inner Child

Sometimes we have to remind ourselves to nourish our inner child.

To peel back the layers of the real world and reveal our true colors.

To ponder, to write, to scribble endlessly.

Even better if we nourish our inner child with our own children.

Showing them the joy in expressing ourselves.

The freedom to be creative.

Color on, our friends.

Color your world.

Behind the Curtain: Sunday Nights

While we would LOVE to be curled up on the couch, every Sunday night, it is definitely not always our reality. They say that when you own your own retail business, you get to choose which 60 hours a week to work. Sometimes it's more like 80 and more than likely, it often includes that sacred Sunday. Here is what we were up to late last night, with our apologies to the Oscars.

Prepping color samples for a bride in Nebraska. Thinking we like the teal best. And getting our packages and post together for the Monday run to the post office. And to think that the week has just begun. Busy, busy behind the curtain. Yes, we are.
