I recently read a blog entry from my friend Caroline Kennedy, the editor-in-chief of Gifts & Decorative Accessories magazine. In this blog, she mentions "clearing" your brain by going out for a walk sometimes allows inspirations and ideas to emerge. I agree that "brain clutter" is distracting. I make lists to keep my thoughts organized. This way I don't need to review things over and over and over...so as not to forget. Sometimes inspiration comes my way in the middle of night. It wakes me up....resulting in a sketch or another list. Our long fringe necklace on leather resulted from a midnight dream (SKU: LC3A). This design also was a fabulous seller this season. You can expect it back for Fall 2010 in a host of darker rich color combinations. - ND
