FROM THE RIGHT BANK in the Independent

Happy 2011, everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. It was nice to take a little blogging break but I’m happy to be back!

I’m not one for new year’s resolutions but I do love the fresh start a new year always promises and I have a feeling 2011 is going to be the best yet. I have tons of new and exciting projects in the works and I can’t wait to share them with you in the coming months.

But if I can just toot my horn for today, I’m positively thrilled to have been quoted in UK’s the Independent in an article entitled, “Say goodbye to shabby chic: The essential design guide to the year ahead.” I can’t think of a better way to start out the new year than trendspotting for a global audience!

I wish you all much happiness, peace and inspiration in this new year. Here’s to 2011!

It’s so funny because I have not been into shabby chic for a long time now and if I see an item posted as shabby chic this or that on Craigslist, then I rarely open it. It’s had its hey day and now is sadly tired looking. Great article btw!
