city-bound weekend

/

Looking forward to a fun-filled next few days. Heading to Bloggy Boot Camp on Saturday in Philadelphia with my ever-s0-glamorous friend, Beth. Then off to NYC with two more darling friends of the industry for the National Stationery Show. The photo just seemed to fit the bill for the end of this week. Taken in NYC by Kevin York on one very magical evening in Jan 21012.

the Queen Mary

In honor of heading out this evening to see the Titanic sink in 3D, I thought I'd post some photos of a trip I just took to Long Beach, California. May I present to you, the Queen Mary. She's larger than the Titanic and I was blown away by her beauty. I'll also leave you with one of my favorite quotes to any movie... “Well, yes, ma'am, I do... I mean, I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... to make each day count. ” ~ Jack Dawson

$100 gift certificate giveaway

Ah, the ever important question...Shall I purchase a bunch of little photos or one large print? While there are many reasons to go either way, my opinion is that you will always get more joy out of one large wall portrait. Don't get me wrong - smaller prints can be more flexible and located in places that large prints may not fit, but big wall art is appreciated everyday. In most cases, even more than a fine piece of furniture. Here's a quick snapshot from the studio and our new 5- foot canvas that will forever remind me of a wonderful weekend away. Do you have a large (16x20 or above) framed print or collage on your wall that was created by Silverbox? If so, take a snapshot and send it to info@silverboxcreative.com. We'll choose a winner and send them a $100 Silverbox gift certificate. Entries due by Friday, April 6th.
