Talya is as gorgeous as ever. After a year on her Fullbright scholarship in Latvia, she is now in my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio, launching her opera career from the artists diploma program at the College Conservatory of Music.

Party planning is under way! I just wanted to take a quick break from shipping out boxes of to share a mini tutorial for a DIY project I did for the next week. It’s a modular cake stand that is super simple to make and take apart, allowing for many configurations. All you need is…
Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. They’re here! Whole stacks of Pointe of View books!
