Relationship Note on Ida
Oh! I wished to also record that one of the items from this month's box was created my Ida's assistants. They followed my design perfectly! I can not thank Ida enough for allowing me to include something in the box from her shop.

The first pair of boxes have been given to their owners. While I hope they like what they find inside I can not really worry too much for now, I still have to finish a few more.

Entries for next month's burnbox have been closed, and now that I have an exact number I need to make I can officially begin. Roses everywhere.

I have decided to try out a patronage relationship once more even though I have had poor experiences in the past. We shall see if this time is different.

I need to find a balance. I have never been one not to throw myself into my work, and in the past have holed myself away for days, sometimes weeks, when I have focused on projects. I vowed that I have learned from my mistakes and decided to remember it is not a bad thing to take breaks.
That being said, I am currently working on eleven new outfits for the shop, all of them in various stages of finish, as well as next month's mystery boxes. But I did take a walk the other day and heard two very beautiful stories. Baby steps.

I need to remember to tell Ida thank you for my chair again. I forgot how much I enjoy sitting outside my shop watching others.
I also really missed home.

I do appreciate those who came to my auction and even more so to those who bid. Art is about beauty and beauty must be shared.
All in all no profits were made, despite the bidding wars that bounced back and forth, but it is nice to get back what you've invested into a passion project a d to see others just as excited.

Relationship Note on Ripley
Everyone, please ignore my brother. At times he gets like this. Some advice.
Should he come to you for sympathy, give him a deeply concerned look at tell him he has really nice hair.
Should he write to you about such concerns as his skill is lacking, respond back with a perfect jewel, one that glows from the inside out. Tell him it reminds you of his eyes. Or hair. He likes his hair. Tell him you hope he finds inspiration.
If these things fail, threaten to tell his sisters on him, because sometimes that works.

Recently I have asked the public a series of questions to better serve them, what they wish to see for sale in my shop. One person replied. It is a shame and certainly makes me less receptive to the missives asking if I take commissions. It is certainly a two-way street, help me help you!
Only want to reach out when it directly benefits them, well, fine.

I have been away from the city for years. My home, where I was born and grew up. The streets I thought held everything grew too confining, and the constricting nature of the walls held too many memories. I have had many things to do since returning, my family to reconnect with and my shop to familiarize myself with once more. It is coming home, and I never thought I would be as glad as I have been to see that while everything changed, everything stayed the same too.
Marquessa Harthall, I am not ignoring your messages. I don't even know who you are to feel the need to ignore your messages. I shall humbly apologies for my rudeness in not responding immediately though.

Relationship Note on Martino
I believe the merchants who once sold seasilk for 1,500 a piece but now don't? It seems like the flooding of seasilk to the market which caused the price to drop by 500 is undervaluing and under appreciating.

As a business owner, I am so pleased when people choose my shop to make their garments for those special occasions and even those not so special ones in which you really just don't want to be naked anymore. I enjoy hearing what people have made by my apprentices, the level of artistic imagination that flows throughout the city can be breathtaking and inspiring. Sometimes I dont understand their vision, but it certainly is not my place to. We each have our own and I am certain that some may not always understand mine in return.
So thank you to Arx, the city as a whole and each person from every walk of life, that breaths beauty into it.

No, thank you for allowing me to play with fireweave. It is a pretty great hat though.

Relationship Note on Harper
I can only create the garments with a vision in mind to work from. Sometimes that vision is mine alone and other times it is a shared experience of delight, discovery, and desires. Ultimately though, that vision turns into something tangible, something that is alive in it's own right. It is only then that the part you are meant to play can come to life truly, for the clothes you wear can grant enough confidence to be who you have always desired to be.
I did not win that, and you should never give credit away fully when it should also be placed upon yourself. The muse is just as important as the artist.

I have spent all day working on various things to put for sale in my shop and everything has been misplaced. All of my designs are not where I put them, and I have a sneaking suspicion that the damn cat has hidden my papers again.
If anyone wants a thieving cat, it might still be alive after I find what ive lost.

Ehh...Eithne is ok. If sweating over a hot forge and looking gross most of the time is your thing. And eyebrows. When she was younger she would lose her eyebrows /all the time/.
I like eyebrows.

The lesson of the week: if you have to tell other people that you are <funny, kind, generous, intimidating, beautiful, witty, ect> there is a good chance you're not. It is about your actions not your words.

I might have opinions on fashion but I can't say that I have ever turned someone from my shop because they wanted something designed a certain way. Is that not the point, really, of everyone being different? Liking different things?
Please enjoy what you enjoy without worrying about what others see as in or not. Love colors. Love fabrics. Love art.

I forgot it was my birthday. I find that I am another year old and not even the slightest bit wiser because of it. Just because you get old doesn't mean you're smart enough to understand what that means.
