Sorry for the lack in September posts, everyone!

I went to Seattle this month for a bit of business and pleasure (of course!)....which resulted in playing catch up in the studio, which resulted in zero blogging activity! It was also my 28th birthday (which I was sick for! but at least I already dealt with this season's flu!). The good news is:

1) I am blogging now!

2) I *finally* created the j. steinberg design FaceBook page (Become a fan!!! See the spify button to the right under My Links!),

3) {Maison Classique} just went live with our first ever blog sponsor- YourFloors.Co.Uk.

4) The recent increase in traffic over September makes me excited to welcome more readers to {Maison Classique}! So, welcome and thank you for your readership!

Lots going on and not enough time! More blogging to come!

And now...onto some Seattle, WA photo highlights (I can't mention it and not show you! That would be mean!)! It really is a beautiful city and I lucked out with the most gorgeous weather while there! Would like to send a happy hello to fellow designer Faith Sheridan of Seattle- loved our chat, Faith!

Pike Place Market- the fresh flowers were amazing! (and amazingly priced, I might add!). If I wasn't staying in a hotel- I would have bought bunches by the bag load to take back home with me.

While Kean and Peet's are my favorite coffee houses, I can't go to Seattle without seeing the original Starbucks! (Plus, it was right across the street from the market!). Starbucks still pinch hits for me.

I loved this! So true! Had to snap a photo through the foot traffic (love the ghost leg on this guy!).

I like phoptographing street signs as landmarkers. The iconc Pike Place Market.

The COOLEST Steinway I have ever (ever!) seen! I could never pull this off in my home (good thing ours is good old classic black!)....but maybe one day I'll get hired by an outrageous celeb client who could rock this in their house.

The Space Needle. Had to go. Even though I'm weary of heights. I did the Emire State Bulding with no problems....but the Empire State Building had internal elevators. The Space Needle has an exterior-type elevator. I made it, though.

Gorgeous day! Mt. Rainier was out in all its glory! (Look hard, to the right of the skyline!). I love skylines.
