Our New Favorite Color: Fire Engine Red

And bright yellow, as well! As many know, brush fires ripped through the Hill Country yesterday. In the path, was Maison HV co-founder Melanie's home just outside Dripping Springs. Thanks to the brave and tireless firefighters of Dripping Springs, Henly, Driftwood, Buda, Oak Hill, Manchaca, Fredericksburg, and La Grange (just to name a few, we're sure) her home was completely spared. Fire licked as close as 18 inches from some parts of the home, but other than acres of burnt grass (which promises to be a thick, glorious green this spring), some crispy sages, and a few charred fence posts, no damage was done to the things that matter most -- her family, her dogs, and those precious pieces of physical family memories.

There are absolutely no adequate words to fully express our entire family's gratitude to those men and women who fought the fire and saved her family home yesterday.

God Bless You.
