Speaking of kids, the Boca Mocha cafe will have a sweet little loft upstairs devoted fully to:
kids, moms, dads, creative playspace, a cozy cafe, a quiet hideaway, an art oasis, and a neighborhood meeting spot.

Hi all!   Kendra and I put together a "Summer Lovin" party shoot.  Janae Hardy, an amazing photog, neighbor, friend, blogger, and mom photographed the set-up for us. We had so much fun! Thanks Janae!  Be sure to pop over to Elsie's blog this afternoon to see that Summer Lovin guest post we did for Elsie, who is still away "honey-ing and moon-dancing" with her new hubby.  Congrats, Elsie and Jeremy! ************************************** For those who took a hop over from Elsie's blog, HELLO, And welcome to MO stuff. I just opened Picwick House, here in Springfield, MO, a little over three months ago.  It was a long time dream. It's so great to  finally have a space to think clearly and to meet with new clients outside my home, where I formerly worked under the name, sharon taylor designs.  Anyway, Pickwick House serves as a mini-showroom where I sell "finds" that I simply fall in love with and can't resist...mostly refurbished vintage pieces/antiques, one of a kind items, and art.  I also use it as a design house for working on my commercial and residential design projects, events, and weddings.  I host monthly workshops, and also love to host private parties for people at the store. if

The wedding season has ushered in.  Last Sunday, a special girl got married. Elsie Flannigan of Red Velvet Art.  Kendra and I had the best time collaborating with her.  Boy, was it ever a fun and different and sweet experience of a wedding??!!  Unlike any we've done before.  We can't say enough good things about Elsie.  She's queen of inventions and talented in many areas:  fashion, style, DIY, and entrepreneurship.  She's humble, kind, sweet, relaxed and open.  This picture above is just a snapshot from her good friend.  You can read and feel Elsie's excitement here in this...blog post.   The professional photographer was Anna of Arrow and Apple. of Seattle, WA.  She was super sweet to work with, too.  More to come on this very soon, we hope.

Next week, we'll share what we {kendra, myself, and interns} have been busy, busy working on.  Excited to share some sweet posts and also let you in on the interior design plans I'm preparing for a much anticipated coffee bar/cafe that will be opening in July.  

What plans do you have for the weekend?
