Literally just found this artist seconds ago and it warmed my heart a bit! I love the simplicity of these illustrations! I am determined to spend more time on the blog these days! I’ve got more freelance coming in (which I am not complaining about) + school work ( 2 semesters away from ending for good) but sometimes I forget and browse for my own sake!
There is so much cute stuff out this summer! Bright and funky and I might have gone a little crazy over at Kate Spade after this post! I want it all!

I finally got to use my new camera over the break! We had a photo shoot for some new lines that came into Decorative Arts Apparel so we found an amazing piece of property owned by Jann Jerkins and her husbamd! It was so beautiful and sprinkle of great expectations ambiance which was such a dreamboat! We had champagne and a grand time! The girls were so beautiful! It was just an overall great day!

Done with yet another semester at UCF! Now I relax, focus on my personal work, and take the beach line home to Vero before summer school starts!

Had the pleasure of meeting Chad this weekend at my cousins wedding! It was a whirlwind weekend – we had a wedding at the Garden & I was in my cousin’s wedding down the road. I’m all kinds of wedding’d out to say the least! Anyway, I got to chatting with Mr. Ainsworth and I really dug his style and personality! I wanted to feature him on the blog and lucky for the ladies he is offering a special deal!

I was researching online and came across this article on readership and it inspired me write a little blog on mistakes! I make them often and it’s embarrassing but I know I will continue to make them throughout my career! My mind is racing all day long between freelance, school and Waldo’s Secret Garden! I wish I could say I stop and concentrate on one project but I usually have 20 tabs open multi-tasking like a mad man! Anyways, there’s a specific publication in Vero Beach that I had issues with for months maybe even a full year (yikes)! I’m talking like I got e-mails multiple times a day “ Charlotte this is still wrong”, ” Charlotte you’re not doing it right” Charlotte Charlotte Charlotte! ha! My fault the whole time I was saving a file wrong but finally about two months ago it occurred to me that I needed to speak to the graphic designer on their team because from what I knew I was doing everything right on my end. Situation is fixed now, they just needed a different file type (simple!) but still when I think back on it I cringe! I was about to give up doing the AD just on the mere fact that I was worried these people thought I had flutter nutter for brains!
lesson learned: Speak with their designer(s) first and make sure you understand their requirements before you start creating!

New Print up! A little more citrus love in honor of the passing of Lilly! 
Going through Lilly Pulitzer’s new line and I am sorta, kinda head over heels! I’m totally over this hipster look and want something fresh and fitting to make me feel like a little lady and Lilly always pulls through!
We had Easter Sunday at the Garden all to ourselves and I cherished every moment! We ate and played and had fun with the babies! Makes me remember how truly blessed we all really are!
Isabella, Jack, and Will Tripson
