Quilt By Auriole "Pikey" Holland. She will be missed.

I just learned that my late mother, Edith Felber, a/k/a Edith Layton, will be featured in this incredibly cool upcoming book.

The this link will whisk you My Mom the Style Icon on Amazon, and actually, looks like it's shipping now.

Makes a fabulous Mother's Day present and as my mom would say about her own books, "buy two copies -- one for each eye."



For more on this check out the excellent blog that spawned the book: My Mom the Style Icon.

I'm quoted in this excellent piece by Carolyn Castiglia about what Mother's Day is like when you don't have your mom:

When Mother's Day Becomes Mourner's Day

I especially like it because I spend roughly 99% of my time trying to just get on with things and not complain or over share and put on a good face. Especially hard because my mother was the one I kvetched to, and she to me. So even a small quote in an article like this makes me feel like I'm not alone and I've a valid venue to be legitimately, gloriously miserable.

Image: Kind of random, but then again, she seems sad. As you would be if you were alone in a field with only celery for company.
