Happy weekend! I am back in Charleston, after a week away in LA and then New York. It was such a great trip – I saw so many friends and made some really good progress with the design of my Sarah Flint shoe. Yesterday was my mom’s birthday so we had a little birthday dinner last night. This weekend is going to be very very low key. It feels really good to be home and I am looking forward to some quiet time. I am behind on chores and life admin, but what I really feel like doing is watching all of the movies (this is a great resource for streaming all the Oscar noms but of course I will also be watching Inventing Anna – I’ve been waiting so long for it!). Whatever you are up to, I hope it’s wonderful, restful, restorative, etc! Xoxo
