Last weekend I got a chance to go out and spend time with Denise King in her "design Studio" which of course doubles as her dining room for about 5 minutes a year or so. I walked in and the scrumptious aroma of a roast cooking in the slow cooker made us both a little heady.
I so much admired how Denise had a plan in her head to create something and went right to it. I spent more time reading her books, pulling out my JUNK, playing a little with her alcohol inks and trying to find something I had that she didn't....ok I did find 2 things. I had a bind it all...and I have this really cool bag of small brass and metal charms.
I have to say though that more than anything we talked. She is so knowlegeable about things I am interested in, and we shared family stories (which oddly enough are eerily similar) and life experiences. I forced myself to leave about 45 minutes after we had decided to stop since I knew her husband was as much wanting to get at that roast as I was! He kindly was staying away. He did take the photo of us at the top of this post. I tried to do one with holding the camera out from us but only managed to get the upper inside of our noses...
