I love this series of Mark Seliger photographs of actors at the Oscars a few years ago. And I LOVE Bill Murray. 

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

There are just a few hours left in our VIP Flash Sale this weekend PLUS free shipping on everything ends at midnight. Don’t miss this - we won’t have another discount this deep until next year. 

Our candles are still buy 3 get one free and here’s what we have left in inventory: 12 Tree Lighting, 3 Christmas Coates, 6 Pumpkins Spice Bull Sh*t, 4 BE // ME, 8 Holiday Peppermint Chip, 3 Oysters & Champagne. This season I made and wrapped 455 candles. I can assure you I won’t be making any more until 2020!

I had the great pleasure of visiting my friends Loren and Aaron Barham at Lore Hope on William Street for their holiday party this week. The decor and hors d’oeuvres were sensational and very vintage inspired but the Loren Hope holiday collection was the star of the night.

I am so thrilled for artists Wendy Briggs Powell! Last week she traveled to The Hague to speak at a gallery, Paper Art & Design, about a her works on paper being exhibited there. Bravo Wendy! See more about this exhibition here. 

Last night one of my favorite people hosted her annual fundraiser at the Vanderbilt Hotel benefiting the Joy Burn Research Fund at Mass General Hospital. For their entertainment - which never disappoints - they had an opera singer, a couple of wild rounds of high stakes bingo and the best drag performance I have ever seen! My uncles Bill and Frank came with me and we really enjoyed it! To read Joy's incredible story and to give, see this link here.

This week I am excited to share new work from my studio alongside the wildly talented artists Nicholas Lima, Luke Brenner and Nancy Parsons. Until then, be sure to check out the amazing VIP Flash Sale happening now - it’s 20% off all orders over $50 and it ends tonight!

Happy weekend from our family to yours

See you in the gallery and online. Much love XO Kristen
