The beauty of poetry.......

"Who has not found the heaven below

will fail of it above.

God's residence is next to mine,

His furniture is love."

Emily Dickinson

My inspiration......

My inspiration can come from out of nowhere sometimes. Movies are one of those places from which I absorb such inspiration for my designs.  I absolutely love watching Jane Austen movies!  I can't really say I have a favorite, but I do especially like the gowns worn by Gwynneth Paltrow in "Emma". Isn't she just lovely....and absolutely perfect for the part!  If you notice in viewing all of Jane's movies, it is easy to identify the historical period in which she wrote by noticing the similarities in the high waistlines, puffy sleeves, and visible decolletage of the necklines. Speaking of "Emma", I think I'll watch it again this weekend!.  -  Tina

Hot Off the Designer's Press

Tina is bursting with creative energy. She is like a planet spinning through space with sparks of new birth constantly being produced. Each day I come to work and most often discover a whole new vat of designs waiting to be finished, priced, photographed and posted. 

Here is a sneak peak of the lovelies I discovered this morning.
