just one of the dogs...

We came back by the studio today, after I picked Walker up from his school Halloween Party today.  He immediately wanted to run in the studio yard with the dogs.  He loves his millie (aka minnie), Pearl and Shannnannnannnh.  He is one of them today.  I really did not intend to pick out a costume that looked just like them but it works.

happy halloween

trick or treat.

wishing you a happy halloween!

RIP Big Tex....

Last Thursday night I had an amazing date night with my boys (Walker, Andrew and oh course BIG TEX).  Big Tex is the Texas State Fair Icon and as of Thursday Night had been representing the state fair for 60 years.  Friday morning he went up in flames due to an electrical fire.  We are so sad about this but I do feel lucky I got one of the last pictures of him!  RIP Big Tex.

Spotted... Clover Cufflinks

One of our dear customers came in a couple weeks ago to buy a special gift for his best friend's wedding.  He gave them clover cufflinks to wish them the best of luck on the their life together.

He sent us a picture of the cufflinks.  They look amazing!
