I think these cards by Enna from Hannover, Germany are super sweet! Visit her Etsy shop here.

Bird with Freckles

I found some great vintage cotton spun birds in Tontitown, Arkansas over Thanksgiving break. My favorite bird takes center stage in a new wreath I listed today on Etsy. I made another large pomander too. I love the way the sides of this nest turned out. This bird got pretty intricate with her decorating. Why is each new one always the favorite?

Meet jewelry artist Halligan Norris. I fell in love instantly with Halligan and the work of art strung around her neck when I met her a few years ago working behind the counter at @Home in Savannah. Word on the street is that she's now on her way to art stardom in Philadelphia with a crew of other amazingly crafty wonder-girls. Visit her super-sweet website here. You can also find her work at www.shopscadonline.com and Freehand.

A New Shop Cometh...

Pay no attention to dying plants...

Come on in!

I'm almost a real shop! Jim and Trey of Palmer Signs & Graphics here in Newberry, SC just finished up my new window vinyl and I love it! (Can't say enough great things about these guys! They got my job perfectly done in one day and helped me move the heaviest table on the planet down Main st. to boot! Thank you!!) Notice I don't have many hours! It's kind of slow traffic-wise out this way and I still want to have time to paint and make things-I'm praying it works out! If not- I'm confident Jim and Trey can help me make an adjustment! This has finally put some fire under my feet! I''ll be opening on December 6th.
