Grand Opening

De Milo Design locationToday De Milo Design opens and I hope you can come to our party. I’ve spammed a whole lot of people in rather haphazard fashion. All that’s left is to wait for the energy to come. I feel so fortunate to have friends and customers who understand and support what I do with so much enthusiasm. Thank you! My friend Margie (who helped me sort and hang all that paper on the wall) sent me this poem today. Perfect.

Truth in Advertising

If we’d moved her,
she’d still have ‘em, 

the ad for Acme
Moving says, with a photo

of Venus de Milo.
But who, intact,

would Venus be?
Some standard-issue

ingénue. Give me
a woman who’s lived

a little, who’s wrapped
her arms around the ages

and come up lacking: that’s
the stone that can move me.

This move is kicking my butt! But things will start looking better this weekend after installing a desk. Meanwhile, Jennifer Smith of South Pasadena Patch met me at the new space and wrote a few words here about Sustain & Heal. Thanks, Jennifer, for the good word!

A New Beginning

Escrow closed! Now it’s got to look worse before it looks better—see Brian getting busy on the floor below. But we’re close to having a new home for the presses…and that huge fair trade order that’s winging its way over from Bangladesh.
