SHE'S GOT THE LOOK

Kirkwood girl, Isabella Leon,

has always been a looker.

And as a sophomore at 

Kirkwood High School,

was discovered on a trip to L.A.

and signed with the

famous international model agency,

Wilhelmina Models.

She traveled to New York, L.A.

New York and Europe

for modeling jobs, 

but has decided to return home

to Kirkwood, Missouri

as her home base.

(Agencies come to her,

not vice versa.)

This 5'10" brown haired, 

brown eyed beauty

definitely has her feet on the ground,

and continues to remain active

at Kirkwood High School

KH Players film and acting clubs.

She's got the look.

(Less is more.)

AUTUMN FOLIAGE

ON STAGE

The show has begun.

Not so gradually,

leaves are turning,

colors are transforming.

Reds, brilliant yellows,

shades of orange

that only happen in the fall.

"Fall -- the time when everything

bursts with its last beauty ...

as if nature had been saving up

all year for the grand finale."

                      -- Lauren DeStafano

 THE ART OF

FINE SHIBORI SILK

Behold the finest hand-dyed

Japanese Shibori fabrics,

from my long time friend

in a traditional hand-dyed method

she learned while at the fiber art studios

at the Kansas City Art Institute.

Each piece is unique,

on the finest imported silk and linen.

Exquisite works of art.

Her latest creations will be available

at Craft Alliance, St. Louis.

WHAT A WEEKEND CAN DO

Restored and recharged.

That's what a 2-day retreat 

to the river can do. 

Peaceful solitude,

cool autumn weather,

campfire on the gravel bar.

No TV.   No phone.

Sleeping on the porch.

Never fails.

(Ready for the world.)

THERE'S MEDICINE

IN THIS HERE RIVER

So I'm escaping this weekend,

leaving the city behind me,

to this peaceful corner of the world.

Very hard week.

Need to recharge my batteries,

And let these waters

wash my troubles away.

No blog till I return,

restored and refreshed.

Happy October, my friends.

Enjoy the season.
