Dwell With Dignity's mission is to help families escape poverty and homelessness through design; one home at a time. By bringing good design to those less fortunate, families are inspired to maintain a standard of living in a home they can be proud of and thrive in. Copeland, Lee and Kim will present some of Dallas finest handmade wares and vintage goods with a portion of the sales benefiting Dwell With Dignity. Along with the opportunity to learn more about and become a member of Dwell With Dignity, the night will include a photo booth, raffle, lite bites, including chocolates from Cindy Elizabeth Pedraza of CoCo Andre Chocolate, and bubbly.

Dwell With Dignity's founders, Lisa Robinson and Kim Turner, along with the hosts for the evening are featured in the newly released publication, CRAVE Dallas. Each guest will have the opportunity to purchase a copy of this book and meet these creative women featured in this book, sold in boutiques around Dallas.

A Peak of What's to Come

I have come up with something really fun for all those hipster babies who go gaga over Mid-centry Mod. I can't wait to show you my latest creation.

There will be transistor radios.

And Viewmasters, too.

I am so in love with this new fabric by Melody Miller, and I think you will be too. She has made such an exciting retro mod styled fabric line for Kokka. I loved reading about how her Ruby Star Rising line came to be. I am thrilled to add these awesome new fabrics to my line.
