Here's a little of the great poet #elizabethalexander as you head out of the weekend. "What if the mightiest word is love, love beyond marital, filial, national. Love that casts a widening pool of light. Love with no need to preempt grievance. In today's sharp sparkle, this winter air, anything can be made, any sentence begun. On the brink, on the brim, on the cusp -- praise song for walking forward in that light."">

<img src="https://isacatto.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed-pro/img/placeholder.png" alt="My winter uniform is basic. Jeans. Long-sleeved blouse. Vest. A knockout scarf that no one else has. Coat. Boots. Repeat. We are in a shipping frenzy to get ready for our five upcoming pop-up shops and these are headed out! These winter weight chiffon scarves are heavy enough for winter but don't have the itchy feeling of wool and can go outdoors to indoors without breaking you into a sweat. Designs all unique to the studio.">

<img src="https://isacatto.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed-pro/img/placeholder.png" alt="The last gasp from the #mojogarden has come and gone. I always grow a little melancholy when the flowers fall into their big sleep and the leaves are gone. The antidote? I plant bulbs and start plotting out moves for the next season and that lifts me right out of the blues. Over the years my purple and blue flowers have been dominating the color field, so I’m trying to heat things up with yellows and pinks and reds starting with my bulb empire. These sunflowers and asters prove that the best color theory instruction is often underfoot. Is your garden design guided by climate, texture, whim or color? Or all of the above?">

They are not slick or polished or ready for the outside world, but they do provide a record — a forensic trail of creative inspiration. My sketchbooks go where I go — there is always something to draw, to record, to celebrate. My favorite pens are made by @tombowusa and @kuretakezig_usa . What are your tools of the trade?">
