Stash Studios

My New Pad

Welcome to my new home! I'm not sure if it is the lightning or the leap year, but I'm ready to shake things up in the studio. So hold on to your hats.

Having been without consistent internet access for over a week I am busting with things to share but I'm going to give you a moment to check out the new site.

If you need to revise a link on your website, just put me down as www.stashstudios.com . My registrar is in the process of pointing everything to this address. No matter what I do, that will always the best way to find me. And don't forget to update your RSS feeds.

Until the next post...
Cheers,
Cheryl

Welcome to Texas

You may wake up and drive past horses in the Lowes parking lot on your way to work. But in case you don't, welcome to Texas. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has officially kicked off. This week Houston traffic snarled slightly more with the many trail rides coming into downtown Houston.

Wherever we've lived in and around Houston, we were just minutes from a trail ride campsite. Thursday morning I had to run home and grab my camera. Despite living in Texas, I don't usually find horses grazing at a major intersection in "town".

I set a course through the cowboy camp to the Lowes sign where two horses were grazing. To my fantastic surprise I ran into a high school classmate, Rodney, who happened to be out on the trail. We chatted then I told him where I was headed and lo and behold if those weren't his horses. What are the odds?

So thank you Rodney trotting out Riggo and Buck for some photos. Enjoy your day, I've got to go dust off my britches and boots.

Cheers,
Cheryl

Buck It

Stash Studios is psyched to be teaming up with Urban Prairie to cover collecting and inspiration Warrenton-style for the debut issue of REFUELED.

REFUELED, is a twice-yearly online zine, produced by Urban Prairie, your number one resource for Alt Country Style + Design.

Even if you are not antiquing Texas, come along for a ride with us to visit Warrenton, Texas . Meet some of the colorful characters that make us return year after year and keep up with the latest Found Style, where maverick designers don’t follow the trend, they buck it.

The artists and collectors you meet along the way are making and breaking trends - giving you alternatives to mindless, copy cat styling so prevalent in the blog and mag world today.

Cheers,
Cheryl

the Future is Now

Thanks to Chelsea at Frolic for sharing this little gem by Matt and Kandace at MNKR Clothes. My daughter is a born activist. Just the other day, a fellow parent commented that she is on track to be president. Since she expresses the sentiment on this shirt weekly, I am getting it for her for Valentine’s Day.

Speaking of activism, my little activist is participating in the American Heart Association Jump Rope for Heart with her school. If you would like to do a little good, visit her website and make a donation by Valentine’s Day, next Thursday, February 14th. She has set her goal at $500 - this is approximately one-third the cost of a defibrillator.

If you cannot reach the website or would like to make a smaller donation, just email me and I will give you the address to send your donation.

Cheers,
Cheryl
