I have to say thank you to my wonderful staff for holding down the fort while my hubby and I took a trip. It was a little over 3 weeks, and much needed. I love to work, and especially love this company so finally getting a true break from work…geez I don’t think that has happened for a couple years now.

In the past we would take short trips to the Caymans, or New Orleans. After a few days of laying out and eating would always inspire me to get back to work with a renewed energy. But taking a more extended trip, like to Europe has been awhile. In fact, the last major trip we took, (France) was before I ever started this company. Gosh, time flies.

I am having a difficult time jumping into work again. It’s almost as if I do not know what I should be doing these days. I think I am still longing to be back in Italy a bit. Certainly a Country I intend to spend a lot more time in. Walking around the streets of Venice I could see a LOT of potential for a catalog shoot here. I am certain I wouldn’t get any disagreements from our production team.

Here is a picture of Michael and I in Venice in front of the Doges’s Palace.

I think perhaps I may be going thru gelato withdraw.

Luckily there is a big party for us to plan for. This should help keep me focused. Somewhat.
