Home Again. Every exploration leaves me changed

Travel isn't just about having a good time and experiencing new things.  We can do that at home while taking up rollerblading. It's about returning home changed, with minds widened, the connection to our fellow humans broadened, and a deep, satisfying understanding that we are part of a larger world.

For me, inspiration gleaned from my travels will appear in my designs for years to come. Hey, I even went foraging for antique Turkish tassels in the bazaars to creat a Turkey-inspired kit this month. My aim is to capture the mood of the tribal carpets my hosts so proudly displayed throughout this incredible country.
