I went to West Week at the PDC about a month ago. Not only did I get to meet Holly Hunt in person, but I also attended a great presentation by Tim Johnson of Jim Thompson(yes, you heard that right - I did not get the letters mixed up) on the process of making their eponymous Thai silks. There were tons of fascinating tidbits, like, did you know that the mulberry trees they use are not in fact... Read more

Jess Houlemard is back again to share some shots for her most recent fete. She put together a casual bohemian camp inspired movie-night for her sister Nicoles' 30th birthday party. Even though the event got rained on people had a great time.
