In New Mexico...

We jeweled a beautiful bride.

The views are amazing.

The succulents inspire.

I threw a hair fascinator on my simple

black dress.

Generations laugh together.

The prickly pear inspires a ruby & chalcedony

collection.

Miles of cotton grow.

New Mexico Notes

We just came back from Ruidoso, New Mexico and had a blast. This pretty deer kept spying on us the whole time. It was cute. I bet it sleeps in my parent's cabin when they are gone (with it's lil' guys too). All the apples and wild mint attract these cuties. It's lashes were super long. Kinda like my friend Erin's.

Ok, back on task...

• Portland like climate this weekend.
• Liquor at grocery/convenient stores. Real liquor. Seriously.
• Trees
• Spying deer
• Calm fresh air
• Howling wolves
• Gorgeous & unusual wood furniture shops
