If you missed it previously in the blog, I kicked off December in Miami during Art Basel chatting people up about Smashing Darling at the SCOPE Art Show. Thanks to my Darling assistant Liz, I had a few moments to stroll and be inspired by the amazing art on display. I was giddy to find artwork made from materials designers see around them on a daily basis. Below are some of my favorite images that reminded me of the Darling world. Maybe they will inspire you to make mini-sculptures in your own studios….and if you do, as always, take a picture and send it our way – we want to see!

Around the Site
Hi Darlings, we hope shoppers are making you joyous this holiday season! Apologies if you were affected by a minor blip this week on the site…just a wee bit of technical difficulties. If you were uploading images into your boutique on Tuesday, you may want to take a moment ad make sure they made it in succesfully.
We kicked off the month with a mini Darling shop at the SCOPE Art Show in Miami. Shoppers there and at other Darling events have won almost $1k in e-gift cards to spend at Smashing Darling. We hope they land in your Darling boutique soon!
