March is just around the corner (um, tomorrow), so that means we’re wrapping up our February Love Notes series. I had the pleasure of interviewing six movers and shakers in the local home design and art world about the five things they love and can’t live without. If you missed the others, catch them here, here, here, here, and here.

Taking us out is Lauren Laughry, marketing director of Dallas Auction Gallery. Founded in 2002 by the Shuford family, the gallery has developed a world-wide reputation for auctioning the best in antiques, jewelry, fine art, and Asian antiquities. Newsworthy tidbit here. Lauren lives in Dallas with her husband and is currently decorating their new Preston Hollow home. Read below for her Love Notes.

We took a respite from Love Notes on Friday. No, no, I’m not a slacker. The D Empire offices were closed. But we’re back today with such a cool couple. And there’s good news for you: Creative husband and wife duo Dylan and Pamela Dowdy just may be wheeling their small mobile shop to a hot spot (think: concerts, events, shops) near you. The Dowdy Studio Wagon is filled items they make in their studio space in East Dallas. You’ll find silk screen tees, pillows, clocks, jewelry, and home accessories. You can also check out their wares on their Etsy shop. Get to know the couple a little more by reading about the five things they love. Enjoy.

Did you catch Wednesday’s Love Notes post with guest Jessa McIntosh from Loom Decor? If not, get it here. Today we’re welcoming Robyn Siegel, an art advisor based in Dallas. She works with clients and companies throughout the country on approaching and collecting art. Her area of expertise is in the contemporary market with a focus on emerging talent. She’s also gracious, sweet, and smart–is there a better combination of attributes? Her husband Michael owns the popular food truck Green House (more details about the truck’s brick and mortar plans below), so the couple dabbles in the local foodie scene as well. When she’s not jet setting to Los Angeles or New York to work with clients and artists, you can find her on bike number 18 at Flywheel Sports. Her Love Notes are below.
