our monster

We're back from the desert of New Mexico, totally in love with the wonders of that place. Green Chiles galore, thrift stores with motherlodes of overlooked vintage dresses, good friends and not least of all painting our first collaborative mural and having our friends perform at our opening! It was a blast. I miss everyone already.

Here's the monster mural:

This is so cool. Love the monster.
Happy New Year! My family loved the gifts and my mother-in-law got me one of your mounted prints (believe...with birds and a hive). I was so psyched! It is sitting right in front of me.
