The Sunday Night Digest = me + glass of wine + reflection on the previous weeks ongoings and a glimpse into happenings next week. You're Welcome.

I hope you are somewhere warm and sunny and if you’re not, perhaps indoors by the fire with a good book. The torrential downpour in Newport is a bit grim however I guess it is fitting for the last week of October! I am not too much closer at announcing the big projects I am working on, but it is never too soon to be grateful for the massive support I've had in even just having these opportunities arrive. So thank you to everyone making it happen these days!!

Up on the blog today I started my Ten Questions series, where I get to know some inspiring people around me just a bit better and share it all with you. First up, Loren Barham, Founder and Creative Director of Loren Hope. If you’re looking for a little sparkle, I encourage you to read up on Loren then head to her shop or website.

Tonight is the New Moon. My girlfriend Alden Tucker is lovely enough to keep me posted on these things. Here is the link to the horoscopes she sent today for just the occasion.

I love Christmas in Newport and have been in print for my championing before, but this one was just so sweet. Yankee Magazine features some of my favorite things to do this coming season in my favorite seaside city and includes a pretty accurate quote from yours truly. Thanks to Meg Lukens Noonan for writing this and Erin McGinn for capturing the spirit of Newport with photos!

Speaking of the holiday season! Save the date for my annual holiday party at the shop on Saturday, November 30, 6-9pm! This year one of the most inspiring businesses I know, greenlion will be hosting their wreath pop-up shop during the party so it should be extra specials this year and filled with double holiday cheer. 

In the meantime, I added a whole bunch of new work to the site to keep myself busy at the shop today while it poured! Check it out here

 Happy weekend from our family to yours
See you in the gallery and online. Much love XO Kristen
