From Stone to Leather...


Okay...so I started this now I must deliver.
I was thinking about how I started as a Designer. I think I was about 10 years old and bored..so one day I was playing in my yard. My father, who was a Landscaper and he loved the outdoors... He had just painted an old stone bench and placed it in the corner of our front yard. It was surrounded by tall Oaks trees.
It was so pretty, crisp white !!! But I felt it needed a little extra, so I picked up a stick and started drawing flowers on his nicely painted bench. I thought "now it's BEAUTIFUL"..
Well the rest is history.. I can still hear him yelling..Girl, what have you done !!
And that's how it started. I always found myself wanting to add that extra touch of beauty to whatever I see...

Now, 20 plus years later, I love white benches ! Italy leather are my favorite !

I wish he could see me now..

I miss you Dad !
