And we really had one ya'll!! In 2011, Deborah Main Designs pulled out all the stops at our last Austin Fashion Week event at 1020 Glass Art & Decor, called a "Pillow Party at The Pillow Glass Lounge". It was very cool, I must say so myself! With such great memories, well, I thought this photo above was very apprepro for this week's upcoming #PillowFight.
Now tell me honestly, do you ever get frustrated trying to arrange your decorative pillows? Do you sometimes feel like throwing a pillow at your husband because he said the wrong thing, or, as found of D' Coop Media, Brandon Smith, reminded me, re-enact the hilarious stabbing scene from "Along Comes Polly"? Well don't worry, as we have all been there. Here's your chance to literally throw your grievances on the bed and take it out on your pillows. Just please leave the knife in the kitchen.
Come help us duke it out this Thursday, May 22nd, at 3 PM CST (1 PM PST, 4 PM EST) on Twitter, as I partake as guest host, on Brandon Smith's #DesignLux chat's "Pillow Fight".
That's right, the Pillow Goddess, moi, is in the hot seat!

06 May Deborah Main: A Day with Miele “Food Photography Tips”
Hello all. It’s kind of a cloudy day here today in Austin, Texas, but it was anything but that in New York City during #BlogTourNYC. In fact, we only had one night of rain, and it would be the one night I’m trying to catch a cab out to Brooklyn to hear my son play in his band. Just FYI, there are no cabs in NYC in the rain!!
But on our first full day of BlogTour, after a chilly but lovely morning with Tess Casey floral design, then a delicious Italian lunch and DXV showroom (and this was only 1/2 way through the first day!) we were treated to the next 6 hours, from 3:00 – 9:00 p.m. to the modern showroom of one of our top sponsors, Miele, food photography, and the most spectacular gourmet meal in the world!

WOW!!! What a whirlwind of a tour of NYC and all the fabulous design there!! I can't even begin to describe how exciting it was, all that I learned, all the wonderful inspiration, and just how amazing everyone was. From my fellow bloggers, to the designers and brands we met.....well, let's just say I'm in awe and truly humbled to have had the honor of being on this tour.

One of the highlights for me and Deborah Main Designs at the #SneakPeek at Dallas Market in January (Yup, I still have a couple more posts of inspiration from just that one single day!) was having the opportunity to meet and hear Thomas O'Brien speak. Not having a background in design, I honestly didn't know who he was. I really enjoyed hearing him speak, seeing his slide show, and learning about his NYC store. Since going to Dallas was my first time attending market as a blogger, I was very keen on learning more and listening to what he had to say. I was definitely intrigued!
