GRATITUDE
•
Word of the Year!
•
How can I ever express how grateful I am for the people that made this possible?
All of them professionals and all of them friends. “Where do you go from here?” someone asked…well, figuring that out!
•
The opportunity, the photography, the writing, the design and styling…all incredibly soulful.
So many to thank for so much!

So much great fun stuff is happening at Black Sheep all at once!!!

Actually it’s all been “in the works” for many years but seems to all be coming to fruition at one time!

We are also about to launch a new website that will be a great source for communicating with you about events and happenings such as this article! The book tour calendar of events with various cities around the country will be on the website and updated as dates and times evolve throughout the coming months!

I’m looking so forward to showing y’all the book….i think you’ll like it, too!
XOXO

My dear friend Jeremy Corkern Studio will be exhibiting his incredible eye for beauty and antiquities at Antiques at the Gardens • Birmingham
His purveyor name is 1841antiques and he will be located in space upstairs so don’t miss him!
Many of you who already know him understand that he is truly one of the aesthetic talents of our time.
Jeremy is only one of many fabulous dealers chosen to show their pieces collected just for this show.
Make a note now to come to this incredible antiques show that has risen to the top in its category!
The fun starts Thursday evening October 1st and continues through Sunday October 4th.
