What has Harlequin&Lionhead been up to?

Posted on December 09, 2013 by Harlequin&Lionhead

Friends of Harlequin&Lionhead, thank you for being supportive this year despite that at times I have been a bit too quiet online...

2013 has been a strange year. It was a difficult start for me at the beginning due to my health as some of you may have known. Then in the past September, my little Lionhead, Charcoal, passed away at 12 years of age. He had a good long life and the last 2 years of his life was filled with rosy moments with his young new companion, Roxy. Despite that I have been preparing myself for the day to come, it was just heart breaking and mind numbing to have to face it. Somehow it feels like the golden era of "Harlequin&Lionhead" has come to an end with the passing of both Toffee and Charcoal. It took awhile for me to become positive again, for the sake of Roxy and this new life growing inside of me.

Music of the day - Freeway

Posted on January 23, 2013 by Harlequin&Lionhead

As I sit at the store today waiting for customers to walk in, surrounded by my jewelry and more lovely things I want to own, I browse around for music to play to this horribly frigid weather. I was in the mood for some Aimee Mann today and came across a great cover of her song "Freeway" by an emerging musician named Greg Friedman. So here they are, both versions of the "Freeway", equally good and equally uplifting. Enjoy!

What to say about 2012 and 2013?

I feel like 2012 was a year that Harlequin&Lionhead was truly born.

I was blessed with some really great mentors in this year. Thank you Arts Business Institute for pointing me to the right direction. And thank you Tracy and Robin for your guidance and advices. These all help laid a good foundation for me to build on.

I was lucky to have found a partner to be my ally at various shows, Jessica. You are a sweetheart and I don't know how I could have done this without having you by my side ;)

I was pumped to find out that Henri Bendel has chosen me to be featured at their NYC location. There I get to know a talented designer Brandy. Hope 2013 will bring you lots of good news!

And I am so happy that Harlequin&Lionhead has found a stable retail home at Urban Alchemist. Thank you for Imaan and Tara for bringing me to the lovely neighborhood of Park Slope Brooklyn.

Of course, I have to give a big thanks to my husband and my mom who have been so supportive of what I am doing.

Big plans for 2013. More to come. The rabbit that dreams to be a fish loves you all.

In the shadows of the sun

Posted on August 23, 2012 by Harlequin&Lionhead

Last year I went to Storm King Museum, my all time favorite. That was my second time there. I went there first on 2010 during fall. I have decided to return to the installation part every year. I will be visiting it probably in October again when the leaves are yellow and red once more. These are 2 pics from last year. They are on my mind when I work.

I love my mom! She is totally Harlequin&Lionhead!
