sorbet & summer

My favorite gelato/sorbet place is here in the city.  They post their flavors of the day daily.. and they are always mouth watering!  I swear.
For instance...

*Cucumber with Grey Goose Vodka
Clean, refreshing, cucumber sorbetto blended with Grey Goose Vodka.
* Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla
We have tried every type of vanilla bean and this was my favorite. Gelato is low fat and needs a special type of vanilla.
* Mojito
Tart lime, cool Overbrook Herb Farm mint and rum.
* Pompelmo Rosso con Campari
Ruby Red Grapefruit with Campari


This is just a sampling. It's ridiculously good!
Makes my mouth water just thinking of it.  Maybe later... but for now, here are some sorbet inspired pieces in the shop for you to enjoy.

shop update - lemon/lime rickey

I've been quite lazy in posting the new shop items on here.  Must fix that asap.  I bought a new dress form, and I've been experimenting with new lighting in my studio (aka house). The spring/summer lighting is just not the same as the fall.

the weekend shop update...

Just a look at some of the items already available in the shop...  lots of great spring time blouses and some fabulous hand knit pieces.  Enjoy!

We're snowed in again here in Philadelphia.  I'm off to brew some coffee, do some laundry and make the best of this wintery day.

Weekend Shop Update

I'm working on getting these pieces in the shop over these next couple of days...

I have this miserable head cold that just won't quit.

***

I'm starting to get the house together a little bit more.  George and I bought a *super* cute 1920's row home this past September and while we were fortunate to not have to do much work to it at all, I'm just now getting around to hanging curtains and making decisions on where to hang things.

I have such a problem with commitment when it comes to the house.  I need the painting to go in the *perfect* spot or I'm waiting to find that piece of furniture that is *just* right.  I'm not that obsessive, but I'm just so happy to have something that is finally ours, I just want to make it look the best possible.

***

So I'm going to nurse this cold and wake up early and head to the Antique Market tomorrow and fingers are crossed that I can find a dresser for the bedroom that compliments my 1920's upright one we already own.

It is a wonderful life.

Resort 2010

It's really exciting watching our stock levels grow at the Under Capricorn headquarters.  I feel like I'm finally able to pull together actual collections of items to list together to make the store feel a little more cohesive.  Here is the beginning of our Cruise/Resort pieces for 2010.
