During our week in Marrakesh, we learned alot about Moroccan interior design, color ways, symbols and the way people live there. Holly Becker of Decor8 led us through inspiring creative sessions to help us identify and use some of what we learned in our own creative endeavors. Now interiors are not my career (just a mild, ahem, obsession) but I so love these elements and looking for them in modern ways that I decided to do up a little styleboard. There are so many lovely modern finds that incorportate Moroccan style elements that it can be a fun way to add a little piece of a far away place to your life!I think Holly would be proud!

Hello,
As I pulled open the flap on my birthday card and realized it was one of yours, my tummy fluttered a little tiny bit 😉 It was a combination of ‘oooh, maybe this is one I haven’t yet read’ and ‘oh it’s so nice that people know exactly what I love’.
It WAS one I hadn’t seen yet, so that was a little gift in itself!
Love your work…
I was once a paper addict and your cards inspire me to go to my giant cabinet full of papers and special pens and markers, and get to it. We all need to make more time to cut and paste! Thanks 😉
Oh dear, look at all of these delicious goods! Moroccan design is quite special and it looks like you pegged it perfectly.
You have quite the eye, my dear. And Hello? Your style is absolutely adorable. How have I not known about Curly Girl sooner?!
I am so excited to see what’s next..

So glad you got to go to Morocco to stay with Maryam.
I lived in Marrakesh for 2 years and loved it and my husband and I became great friends with Maryam and Chris.
I bet you found it a great inspiration.
I am going to give a writing workshop called “Other Places” at Peacock Pavilions in February…..and visit our little kitten Blinky who is now all grown up and living at PP.
So if you know anyone who would get a kick out of Morocco too!
all best wishes
