Can you believe it's already Friday? This week went really fast for me. And it has been a very thoughtful few days as I am still processing my time with Diane Von Furstenberg. I was so inspired by her, her graciousness, and her career.
I have met a lot of people, over the last few years, who have reason to be pretentious or aloof with the media. And I've begun to expect it from them. Meeting DVF was like being in the room with friends. She was proud of her favorite designs (a purse that has a zip back to reveal your iPad), amazed by her success (the continued popularity of the wrap dress surprises her still - genuinely), and annoyed with the lack of cell coverage in Bellevue (ahem.).
Her tag line "Be the woman you want to be" had me thinking the whole way home. And, quite frankly, still has me thinking. Who do I want to be? For a while I wanted to be Mrs. Harry Beasley when I grew up. She goes to the Hedin family church and is a positive delight. Over the years I have added to or changed who I want to be when I grow up. And on Wednesday night I decided I want to be Diane Von Furstenberg when I grow up. If I could be as gracious, welcoming, and confident as she is I would be thrilled. Who do you want to be when you grow up?
While we ponder that, here's what else happened on the blog this week.
:: We made Apple Cider and holy moly is it good! We're going to get more apples this week to make more cider!
:: I'm stumbling over a mid-century/modern kitchen that looks cool and works with our lifestyle.
:: Spider Pancakes!! Need I say more? The flavors of fall and a Halloween theme - perfect for October.
:: Did I mention I met Diane Von Furstenberg? I met Diane Von Furstenberg.
:: Have you RSVP'ed for the Splendid event tomorrow? I'll be there in my new favorite sweater crafting away! I hope you'll be there too.
I hope you have a great weekend! Go Dawgs!
