LUSCIOUS LONNY

OK, I am a little late to the game here, since LONNY debuted last week and everyone is blogging about it. I just couldn't resist, because I haven't seen anything in the blog community SO worth jumping on the bandwagon for in a looong time. As much as there was web-wide mourning when Domino bit the dust, there is now a collective squeal of delight from design junkies at the advent of LONNY.

Uber-talented Michelle Adams (of Rubie Green) and photographer Patrick Cline have partnered with a bevy of brighties from the design community to put together this online magazine that will knock your socks off. It's amazing and I am sure, if you haven't already read it from cover to cover (like me), you're in for a treat. AND..... IT'S COMPLETELY FREE.....HOW  CAN YOU BEAT THAT? Talk about a design stimulus that is sensitive to our current economic climate. Check it out here!

CONGRATULATIONS MICHELLE ADAMS AND RUBIE GREEN!

Congratulations to Michelle Adams, creator of Rubie Green, an eco-friendly textile company that features colorful, graphic and beautiful options for furnishing your home or office. Michelle was featured in this month's issue of Domino. Michelle is a young entrepeneur who is also a former Domino employee and has already established Rubie Green as one of the top "green" textile companies in it's relatively short existence. She sells directly to the public, as well as the trade, which is rare for a high-end fabric designer.

Michelle amazes me - she's only 25 and is a blogger, designer, and business woman (check out her blog, MA Belle). Besides being extremely talented and business-savvy, Michelle is a great person! Before I had even met Michelle, she was already recommending me to a potential client, who ended up working with me on a logo design. I want to thank her and also wish her and Rubie Green all continued success as she launches her new website this month.
