It has been 9 weeks since this photo was taken by the amazing nancy ray

in the days since, we’ve flown across the ocean and back, eaten more foie gras than two people should, maybe, developed an affinity for pink champagne, made the best of a natural disaster, seen two alps (french and swiss), flown back across the ocean, closed on our house, and settled in to this next phase of our lives.

so here we go, our life together, and my inspirations and creations, all in a nice little package.

here’s another favorite from that day (many more to come)

oh, and the quote? It’s from Zoolander. Which apparently is a relief from the gingerbread house and breadcrumb trail jokes for those of us named Hansel 😉
