i know. i suck as a consistent blogger these days!  but truth is, i feel like these blogging reprieves end up yielding more blogging material in the end, so hopefully one day I will be able to sit down and blog all about the things i have been doing, seeing, reading, viewing.

I am three weeks away from my next iteration of the MADE IN THE 216 event.  This version will be different yet from all of the previous shows.  I will be hosting a MADE IN THE 216 HOLIDAY SHOPPE from November 6-29 at an empty storefront directly next door to the Capitol Theater across the street from my store, which is now open 7 days a week and till 8:00pm Mondays and Thursdays.

I received the keys today to the space for the event and OMG is this ever going to challenge me like I have never been challenged before.  It is in need of a LOT of work to say the least and I have about 2 weeks to make it come together.

Creating even more of a challenge for me in executing this, is the fact that I, personally, am moving tomorrow.  I was too distracted to remember to change over my utilities in time, so I will not have electricity until Friday and NO HEAT until Monday.  This is particularly disheartening considering the forecast here includes SNOW…yes.  S N O W.  ugh.

SOOOOOOO, I was not in the store earlier this week because I was an assistant stylist on an exciting project for FOOD NETWORK MAGAZINE at Chef Michael Symon’s house with THE MOST AMAZING AND WONDERFUL Photographer, Stylist and Food Stylist EVER!  (thank you Abbs!)

While I am moving into my new place and making a miracle happen at the 216 venue enjoy some of the following distractions:

are you aware of this cleveland culinary gem? huge fan.

anxiously awaiting the info on my next autumn swap partner organized by this utterly lovely blogger.

more dreaming of paris via this lovely book.

more proof that beauty knows no geographic boundaries found here.

* Focus on some easy positive changes I can make to feel better through the help of this great green living blog.

anyhow, hope to be more consistent soon…if nothing else, look out for more on my upcoming MADE IN THE 216 HOLIDAY SHOPPE!
