This is just what we needed tonight. Date night was a beautiful distraction, and the added bonus that we felt like we were back in Paris again. Thank you @chefdouglaskatz for adding another gem to the deliciousness that is Cleveland, @kilncle 👏 Popovers are a MUST! And extra bonus that there is @zhugcle hummus served with the crudite, IYKYK 🌾

Tickled that one of my designs will be featured in the Bicentennial edition of the Akron on Deck playing cards! It’s been my privilege to design for @norkabeverage since its rebirth and I’m continuously so proud of @mwconsidine and the second round of legacy he has created for this 100+year old brand. It’s a joy to see our teamwork put out into the world in a new way thanks to creative super forces of @artxlovellc. Thank you, Mac and Allyse for constantly giving back to your community in such beautiful ways! Link in Bio to pre-order your decks - make sure to get the Bicentennial Edition. ♠️ ♥️ ♣️♦️ #akronondeck #lizscottdesigns #letlizhelp

How we spent our Halloween- a fun double date with Tim and @kassaf20 at @steakcle. It’s HEAVY on the kitsch factor (some misses, steak knives weren’t terribly functional) and the server said “influencers really like..” a million times, BUT the food was surprisingly good. It’s for a sure a different concept for a steakhouse in the area. Super casual dining room, and everything is so playful, plus it’s a prix fixe menu so you get your entree + sauce + unlimited waffle fries or veg for one price, making it way more approachable. We did listen to the waitress and started with their creamed corn, probably the star of the show, and the Brussels - very fresh and not overcooked 👏 Def a fun experience and next time one of us will save room for the Ferris Wheel Ice Cream Sunday. Oh yeah, get the cheese sauce for the fries! #steakcle #thisiscle #cleeats

Friendsgiving turned Soupsgiving this year. I got a little spooky with things with our smaller crew. I really wanted to try a setup where everyone could see everyone. @blaircscott had the idea for the pentagram and a little coven even formed around the @solostove. Karaoke didn’t happen this year as the @cleguardians were our entertainment. BTW I’m still catching sh*t from everyone as I said it was casual this year. Even Blair admitted tonight at dinner “for me, this was casual”. I love coming up with ideas, and hopefully surprising people and making them feel special, that’s what Friendsgiving has always been about to me, valuing those that make our lives so rich. PS we put up 120 hanging candles and bats the night before the party, only the 15 or so actually affixed to the poles made it to party time. It was def a fun game of gathering them as they fell to keep them away from Piper. 🦇🕯️ HAPPY HALLOWEEN, ALL!

I wrote an article 4 years ago. I haven’t known what to say, now, but I did add a NEW prologue to it, link in bio. And if you don’t have the time/inclination to read it, I’ll requote myself: “…GOD DAMN IT, DON’T VOTE FOR TRUMP!” and also make sure to vote for @kamalaharris and @sherrod 🇺🇸

What a beautiful journey my client and friend, @broadlawnfarm has been on. It’s been wonderful watching her throw incredible soirées and now she’s broadening into showcasing goods, with an eye on sustainability. Beth and Sara of @onebunnyswool have teamed up for the @gardenclubofcleveland’s Harvest Boutique at the end of this month - link in @broadlawnfarm bio. Go buy incredible knitted sweaters, insanely cool giant hearts, my favorite @studiocartashop ribbons, incredible yarns, and so much more. Thanks for letting me evolve your brand, @designing_elizabeth 💗 #letlizhelp #lizscottdesigns

11 years married, and counting! 10 almost didn’t happen, but now we are better than we have EVER been. Marriage is work, we put in the work, year in and year out, and we have been having a lot of fun, too!!! Thanks you @blaircscott for 13 years of more laughs than cries, adventures and couch snuggles, and Ninja Turtles.

It’s been a minute since I’ve designed my own products, but with #cheapgoodstuffakron coming up (Sun. 9/29 @gardenerofbath). I was inspired to design some stickers. Head over to @cheapgoodstuffakron to check out a couple of others, featuring #cuyahogavalleynationalpark. #lizscottdesigns #letlizhelp

Thanks to everyone for your support, both cheering us on and your donations, for this year’s (and my first) @bikevelosano Bike for the Cure in support of cancer research @clevelandclinic. It’s crazy how much progress has been made in cancer research but equally mind-blowing is how much more needs to be accomplished. It affects all of us, in one way or another. I was proud to ride beside Blair, riding for his mom, Cheryl, who I never had the privilege to meet; and for my Aunt @kkspoerndle who gratefully caught things early enough and fought through treatment and is still here loving us all; and for my dear friend, @designing_elizabeth’s wonderful mother, Patty Q, who was truly a joy to everyone while she was still on this side, and I know still watches over Beth and her family with grace and guidance 🦊 If you’re compelled and able, you can still donate through the end of this month, link in my bio. Thanks, all! 🚲

Can anyone name the plant? I need this color for my yard! (In my head it’s beauty berry, but in resisting googling, let’s see what the group brain here says)

Super casual dinner last night, with friends. There were no utensils, but there were cups that made it back from the Olympics! I thought Goalball must be the French word for Handball?! Gratefully it was googled and we learned it’s a Paralympic sport, something with a ball that has bells in it, played by blind athletes. #themoreyouknow #paralympics

🌎 HELP US ALL OUT 💊
Reach out your hand and youʻll touch someone who cancer has affected, and chances are, itʻs affected you, too! So many friends and family members have been diagnosed with it, some caught it early enough and have survived, while others we still mourn. Think back to what the word cancer meant to you when you were a child. I donʻt remember hearing about it much, but when I did, it probably meant death. Itʻs simply incredible how much progress has been made on treating the disease as a whole, and even curing some kinds. Unfortunately new types are being found all the time, and more people diagnosed every day. We are sooooo fortunate to have the Cleveland Clinic in our backyard, and I hope that you will join us in financially supporting their research efforts, by supporting me in this Race for the Cure! ONE WEEK TIL THE RACE - help! 🔗 LINK IN BIO

She’s my buddy. For a little over two years, she’s been through a lot, including her frame totally cracking in half when I had her shipped back from our month in Florida in ‘22. Shout out to the awesome guys @dirtyriverbikes that put her together again (if they would have sold ebikes, I would have bought from them. B loves his bike from them!!!). And then there is the ‘once a summer losing of the battery charger,’ but we always find our way back to each other. Wednesday was perfection, with a long sleeved shirt on for the brisk 70something weather, we checked out a new portion of the towpath, parking at Red Lock, by Brandywine, and riding north. To the left we rode alongside the glistening Cuyahoga, to the right was a stagnant green creek?! but it was full of turtles and heron. The trail was semi-busy with school being back in and the young cross country runners; but me, my bike, and my other new best friend @audible, were in a world of our own, and loving every minute.
I think she needs a name, help…what should I name her?

Iʻm tickled to announce my newest client, @akronartmuseum. Scheduling an impromptu zoom while in Paris is definitely leading to some fun collaboration! Iʻm working with the wonderful, new-ish Creative Aging Institute team on some fun upcoming initiatives, stay tuned...

How cool would it be to have easels setup around town?! Which of you amazing Akronites that excels at grant writing could make this happen? I think it could be an awesome addition to the new Lock 3 park.
