good morning! i hope this post finds you all rested and relaxed after the holiday- because today we’re hitting the ground running. today is the first day of our holiday gift guides (you requested that we run them earlier, so we’ll start today at 1pm!) and today the guest blog is back in full-swing with a wonderful new blogger: erin loechner of design for mankind.

erin will be focusing on a theme this week that is near and dear to my heart- young artists. each day she’ll be spotlighting artists under 18 that are creating amazing work. today she’s kicking things off with 15 year-old photographer olivia bee (that’s her work above) so i hope you’ll check out her posts. click here to check out the first two on the guest blog. welcome, erin!
