Weasure (work+pleasure) Part 1: Dallas

I spent all of last week in Texas.  It was a fabulous trip full of lots of fun with a little business thrown in too.  One of the highlights was spending time with Harmony Art's very first customer, Michelle of Cotton Monkey. 

Cotton Monkey will always hold a space in Harmony Art's history, but Michelle (the founder) also has a personal place in my heart.  She is funny, talented, kind, thoughtful and just plain fun to be around.  I think there needs to be a new word added to the dictionary that means friend + customer.  Any suggestions?

Michelle is AMAZING!  In addition to Cotton Monkey she also is a mom to an adorable 5 year old and manages an eco-event location in downtown Dallas called Hickory Street Annex.  The space is beautiful.  You can get a real idea for it on the Hickory Street web site.  I however, was fascinated with the art/recycled glass wall outside the building.  Michelle tells me I am the first person she knows of to take pictures from the "back" side.  Somehow learning I view things backwards from everyone else didn't surprise me.
