My friend Tina Tarnoff, a fantastic artist and blogger in San Francisco, has recently been commissioned to do a mural in New Orleans' gorgeous Garden District! I'm so proud she is going to be a part of the ongoing restoration of an amazing city. I spent a little time this weekend browsing through her paintings, above, on Etsy. I love them. Her silhouette papercuts are really special too. (My previous post on those!) And here's the link to her blog, Thought Patterns.

I hope everyone has a lovely Monday! Such a busy week ahead. I'm heading out to, where else?, Beverly Hills.

I am so excited for Tina! She is so lovely and talented. Some day I will have a house full of Tina Tarnoff originals (for now, I'm trying to be a good girl and save all of my money for a wedding). I suppose I had better start buying soon before she becomes a superstar. And she will.
