hello dears.
I’m back from our week-long trip to Maui. A bit jetlagged, a bit sunburnt and very tan. It was a fab vacation and felt great to be by the ocean; lounging by the beach + pools.
We did plenty of fun activities including sailing on a sunset cocktail cruise, boat rides to Lana’i and Molokini islands, snorkeling, and surfing.
AND had a super nice time meeting up with blogging buddy, rachel of lovely clusters. She is even more lovely in person. We were sad when the week came to an end, but glad to be back to home sweet casa hidalgo. I’ll be doing a more detailed post of my trip soon.
Now for some exciting news….
I mentioned prepping for a shoot a couple of weeks ago. It was for the Washington Post‘s Express paper. The editors interviewed me and asked me to create a few spring-summer inspired tabletops for the article. They came over for the shoot a few days before I left for Maui. The article was featured in the May 7 issue of Express, and included a pic of yours truly. Here is the spread….
The article references me in a few places and I am honored to be mentioned alongside Joe Nye (author – Flair), Kim Myles of HGTV’s “Myles of Style” and Tai Tsang (owner – tabletop dc).
You can view the print version online here – http://www.expressnightout.com/printedition/
click on May 7 and go to page(s) 27, 30 & 31. I will try to get more pics from the shoot to share with you.
Have a great week ahead!!
