Yes, food is our trigger to all design, but what about the real “Triggers” in our lives. Our pets? Pearl wearing red dogs and red biscuit eating all dogs. This week’s holiday party is for the dogs…cats and birds need not read any further.
Happy Holidays from Salted and Styled!

Ahhh, love is in the air today, to all of you lovebirds painting the town red tonight… well, I’m a slight bit jealous, but that’s ok. I’m ok with it, really, I am. Even my single self can get excited about things like cute lingerie on Valentine’s Day. What’s a Valentine’s Day anyway without Lingerie? This is probably where I should come clean that I am not a chocolate eater.
I have this habit of looking at people’s hands like I’m looking for clues. I find they reveal so much more than most people are willing to offer. They tell a story.
As Vincent Hooper hauls 50-pound burlap sacks of oysters, I can’t help but notice that his hands are big—too big for his average size, as if they grew in spite of him. His fingers look swollen and ashy around the joints and cuticles. The skin across the backs of his hands stretch tight, like leather gloves that are too small and worn to offer any real protection.
