This is my latest pile of favorites! I always wonder what makes a person find certain objects to be appealing? Why when you see them you get a warm and... Read Full Story

"The true artist has the planet for his pedestal; the adventurer, after years of strife, has nothing broader than his shoes."-Ralph Waldo EmersonThese adorable little Buster Brown, patton yellow and navy shoes were at an estate sale I accidentally found this past Sunday. My daughter and her friend stumbled upon the signage upon returning from church on Sunday when the pull of a sale got in front of our need to eat. FYI: attending estate sales can be beneficial to weight loss or at... Read Full Story

I recently had the pleasure of getting to participate in this fun project by Art House CO-OP! These were the rules of engagement."708 artists from around the world received five 3x3 inch canvases from us, along with five words submitted by the Art House Community. Each artist's task was to visually interpret the words, one word per canvas. Our goal was to create an encyclopedia that connected each word to their visual interpretation, showcasing one canvas from each artist."A... Read Full Story

My mantra for this upcoming gift-giving season of Christmas is certainly going to include something handmade. I often think strongly about it....do a lot...but, still end up with those last minute gifts I must leave to a quick purchase from the store. By golly, NOT THIS YEAR! I am thinking ahead...making ahead...and stocking up for the season. At this point, the gift can be food...art...or embellished...and my latest project is scarves. I was so excited to find these tartan scarves. They just... Read Full Story

See this cute pony? Do you know what he is looking at? This cute puppy. My Daisy was fascinated by the pony. I guess she has never seen one. She wanted to spend the day hanging on to the fence and whimpering for her new found friend. Do you ever wonder what they are thinking? Had the great pleasure this past weekend to stay at an awesome retreat. If ever in the Rising Fawn, Georgia area....need a little getaway filled with beautiful views of nature...this is a little slice of goodness. I don... Read Full Story

Last weekend I went to what has always been one of my favorite big junk sales. But....it was somewhat of a bust. Annually a favorite antique mall in my fair city holds an all day yard sale in its parking lot. The past few years I have attended it was fantastic! Approximately, 50-60 vendors and oodles of great stuff at outstanding prices, and everyone always willing to negotiate. The more you buy...the cheaper it gets. Well this year...it was not so good. The morning was cold and damp, ... Read Full Story

"There's no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there's no end to it."-Henry Moore We have now returned from our little family vacation....it was fantastic! Upon a friend's recommendation, we took the segway tour of the grounds at The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC. It was a beautiful day and filled with new experiences. One being the knack of driving and riding a segway. Not hard....but, not a typical thing for which I have skills. One of the high points of the day was sto... Read Full Story
