That's so nice of you. Your writing is full of life - so fun to meet someone from Colorado Springs! I'm afraid you will have to use your imagination on my entrance as I haven't learned to scan photos yet. (Embarassing to admit, but I will work on it this year.) Enjoy your evening! Hi Kelly,
Thank you for the compliment. That’s so nice of you. Your writing is full of life – so fun to meet someone from Colorado Springs!
I’m afraid you will have to use your imagination on my entrance as I haven’t learned to scan photos yet. (Embarassing to admit, but I will work on it this year.)
Enjoy your evening!

I'm here, just a little late getting my blogs in! Cameo, you can fill in ANY day....And i love all the suggestions you made to Artist's powder bath. I can see the bamboo, and leopard print towels, just perfect! I'm late in watching Tracy's latest but wanted to comment....just more divine validation about scratched floors and charming imperfection! We can easily beat ourselvees up if things aren't "just right" but Tracy gives us permission to just "be" and to look to ourselves to make our homes our own - no rules, no right or wrong. SO refreshing! Emily, I went on your web site too......LOVE EVERYTHING, especially the belt buckles, and the alter bottles. I live in Colorado Springs, not too far away from you. Anyway, have a lovely, creative day everyone. Shawn, did you finish your London Wall? Would love to see pictures. XOXXOXO Hello Artist, Cameo and everyone!

Tracy and Sarah, so glad you are doing well and re-connecting with old friends (what are the chances of getting the same cab driver? You must have made QUITE an impression last time!), getting to talk to your boys, and putting your feet up too! I'm giddy about the fabric designing and everything else - feels like having my own personal clothing designers, because IT IS! Thank you, thank you for creating fabulousness on our behalf! We are a loyal band of authentic women dressed to the nines and building our wardrobes, piece after glorious piece, all with Tracy Porter labels!

Tracy and Sarah...so glad you are enjoying yourselves! It sounds like such fun...what a kick about the cab driver! You two are making a name for yourselves all over the world! I love that you're remembering "your girls" way back here!! Can't wait to see what you bring back for us to "ooh and aahh" over! Rebecca....You are my kind of girl! I think we need to go shopping together sometime! Wait until you get the Hollis Paisley!! I can't wait to fit into it!! Artist..any luck finding your gold bamboo? I'm racking my brain for you. You know you could always spray paint with gold? Lisa...I'm feeling your pain! My mantel is quite large and I'm trying to figure out what to put over it...a painting, a few different pictures, paintings etc, our MASSIVE 60" flatscreen (the only thing my husband has ever asked for...uugh!). I'm stuck. Sorry I'm no help...I'm in the same boat! Sandi...if you're checking in today...safe travels and speedy recovery for poor John. It is a cold but beautiful sunny day here! I'm sure you are ready for your own bed! Have a good day girls!! Good morning ladies!!

The chest measures exactly 40" under the arms. The size chart for this tunic states 39.5-41 inches for size large. If the medium (36.5" to 38") runs similar to the large in sizing, it is probably around a 37" chest measurement. Also keep in mind there is no stretch or give in this fabric. Hopefully somebody with a medium will post actual measurements or perhaps you can call and request a measurement.

Everything about it. You give me courage to move things around and try new things out! thanks! What kind of stone is your floor? it's beautiful. Love the wallpaper....you really have succeeded in making it such an interesting space. IT's an international cultural experience -in that small space. How extraordinary & fun!(I have a feeling Sarah's foyer or entry way is spectacular too) My dear friend brought me back the greatest pair of shoes from Vietman. They have wooden bottoms, and a wide black velvet strap across the top of the foot with soft fuscia sequins sewn together like flowers on the strap part and smaller beads all around. The sole is painted black with bright painted flowers. The sizes aren't as large there so I use mine for decoration.(but they would look sooo good with a pair of jeans) These are a size 7 and I wear a size 8.(but don't think I haven't squeezed into them with jeans...no one can tell) hehe I hope you two see some cool shoes. :-) Jenny OH, I forgot to say how much I LOVE your foyer, Tracy!
