It’s SPRING!!

It’s Spring! It’s Spring! It’s Spring!

I love everything about Spring not least of which being it means my birthday is right around the corner! I love Spring and always have but living in New York has given me an even greater appreciation for this lovely and refreshing season.

Come springtime in NY you begin to notice the beauties that have been hidden for months by Winter. Not just because in Winter leaves and flowers don’t exist and trees become things of Tim Burton’s imagination but because it is just too cold to be out long enough to take notice of much of anything beyond the visibility of your own breath.

Spring makes NY tree-lined streets grab your attention and stop to admire or more likely in this insta-age to take a picture and apply the right filter or #nofilter.

Spring makes NY more colorful not just with blooms on trees and carefully planted iron-guarded flowers but with fashion. People begin replacing black with sky-blue, sunshine-yellow and grass-green. Every color is acceptable in Spring as long as it’s bright! The world is instantly a more beautiful place, I mean if you love color like I love color!

The sun is shining, New Yorkers are sipping on iced coffees and SMILING and maybe even walking a little slower to soak up just a few more seconds of sun. All of a sudden people are in just a little less of a hurry to get where they are going because they are more appreciative of outside. Oh Sunshine!

Dear Spring,

I love you and am making new pieces inspired by you.

Many more to come!
