Crayola brand pencils were some of his favorite pencil pigments. He chose his pencils for the pigment - so there are a variety of brands - Crayola brand pencils bring out the child in all of us!

Stick with the Plan
One of my fathers best piece of advise was to "stick with the plan". In life, business and design change is necessary and alterations and changes are always needed. As an ENTJ- I find that I have the ability to make some serious long term goals. And the advise that I give to others is to set high goals for yourself and stay on course and to be open and adapt to new ways of doing things. This is what my father taught me and I live by it!

Among many talented artists, Paper Petals Studio will be exhibiting and selling our stationery and introducing my new custom prints that are available. Doris (my mom) will be selling my fathers pencil sketch prints as well. Take a walk in Kirkwood Park this weekend and stop in the Artists' Boutique.

Modern Castle
Today we spent the day raking leaves and trimming branches at the Thias house in Sunset Hills. I love the steps, pathways and planting boxes that my father built by hand out of Missouri limestone pieces from the creek at the back of the property.

Top This
E J Thias participated in Track and Field. He told us stories about how in the 1940's pole vaulters used wooden poles and landed in sand pits. My father even made his own pole. This is one of those stories that it really takes you back in time before fiberglass poles and air cushions were introduced to the sport of track and field. Posted in a photo of E J Thias pole vaulting and two of the numbers that he wore at Cleveland High School track and field events. The photo is labelled E J Thias 1940.
