The Succulent Wife's Favorite Things

En Vogue

So, I just found out today, by accident, that TheSucculentWife.com is mentioned in... of all publications: Vogue Magazine, March 2007 edition, page 483. The Succulent Wife was mentioned as the merchant through which one can purchase the Dali Mama Eco Jute Yoga Mats. It's a tiny little mention, with no product photo (and BTW, Dali Mama yoga mats are so much prettier than the boring mat that was actually featured, although it's a "green" mat in keeping with the article's green theme, so I get it).  So, I'm quite pleased. Not b/c the phone has been ringing off the hook (it hasn't) but b/c it means that someone at Vogue has been watching. It think that her name is Laurie Drake (I don't have the magazine in front of me so I can't check) and I need to thank her for taking notice. It's in this spirit of gratitude that I welcome the other illustrious publications to feature any product from The Succulent Wife. But, with a photo, please!  :-)

San Francisco Gift Fair

I'm excited to go to the San Francisco Gift Fair which opens today. It will be one of those wake-up-at-four-am-to-catch-the-six-o'clock-flight days, but I will recover easily. I am looking forward to meeting up with a few of my "ladies", Rae Gedlaman of Jester Swink and Blake van Roekel of Magma.  I have only been to this particular gift show once before but remember enjoying the more intimate and authentic feel that it provided and the better selection of original product. We will see what this brings tomorrow.

New Succulent Artrepreneur

I'm happy to introduce Jessica Pilar to you.  You will immediately recognize her as a talented graphic designer.  I love the patterns that she has created and am honored to feature her product on my website. Take a look right here.

Ok, not sure how much fun I am having here... Am I the only person that doesn't know how to set up a blog? 'cause I'm not finding a lot of help out there on the subject. Going digging some more...

Decided to approach this with setting up the framework of the blog and then I will tackle the design elements. you know, the "fluff"...

Getting Started!

After months of putting this off, here I am with my blog. Another thing to add to my To Do list! But, despite being a relatively private person, I am happy to have this space in which to share ideas, concepts, visions and sometimes frustrations.

Now, let's see if I can figure this thing out...
