The Work of Her Hands…
Well, I have finally recovered…still a little congested…but much better than I was before. Thank you so much for all of the well wishes. They helped get me through 😉 I was thrilled to be able to reopen the shop and get most of what I had hoped to accomplished. You will notice a fresh look {again}…perhaps I am addicted to change? I just cannot help myself…just like my home…I always have to “spice” things up a bit.. There is also a new layout. I hope that you find it easy to navigate. One of the struggles I have with my web host, is that I do not love 100% any…

Under the Weather…and a Fall Preview…
For those of you who have visited my shop in the past couple of days, you may have noticed that it is closed as I begin stocking our new goods for autumn. I had thoroughly hoped {and planned} on getting everything prepared and ready to reopen on the 1st… But then life happened… and I caught a cold…from my husband… 🙁 I tried to fight through it and keep working away…but I had to succumb to my mother’s advice and “get some rest.” The box of kleenex has been my best friend these past two days…and I have spent most of my time resting on the couch watching movies with Renoir. I…

Recent Acquisitions…
I am delighted that so many of you have been enjoying the tour of my “atelier” in my past couple of posts. I truly wish I could have all of you here to show it off in person {although…it could get a bit crowded I suppose}, but I am grateful that I can share it here and receive your beautiful thoughts on it all. I do have more detail photos and several full room shots to share soon…and am glad you want to see them! But…I thought I would stray a bit today and share some of our recent flea market, thrift shop, internet, and blogging friend gift acquisitions. Since…

Where This Blogger Creates…
When the very lovely Karen Valentine invited me to join her Where Blogger’s Create party, I jumped at the chance, and took it as an opportunity to finally have the motivation I needed to get my studio cleaned up and organized. We have lived in this home for almost two years now…and this studio has acted more as a storage room than space to work. But no longer… Now it is a haven to create in…filled with inspiration and beautiful things that I have collected through the years. Albeit…it is a cluttered space…now perhaps ‘chaotically’ organized…but everything has a place. And that’s how I like it… So I will try to keep the…

Summer Giveaway…
Awhile back {on May 29th to be exact} I celebrated my second anniversary of blogging. Somehow with the “busyness” of life the day slipped by…and preparing a giveaway took longer than I had thought… But it’s here now! So…what will you receive in honor of this occasion? First…two of our best sellers…our ‘Spa’ and ‘Soaps’ enamel bath bowls. These two have ever so slight imperfections…but are still quite nice…so I know someone will enjoy them… Second…a bar of our Fresh and Clean Almond Soap wrapped in vintage inspired paper and tied up in vintage lace and ribbon…then adorned with an old Mother-of-Pearl button. You may just find it too pretty…

Summer Adornments
When summertime comes, I love to pull out all of my skirts and cute dresses {not a huge fan of shorts…although I bought my first pair in about tens years the other day!}…and adorn myself with pretty jewels. I have been working on my summer line of jewelry {and while this may bore some of you…my apologies for that}…I wanted to share some of my recent creations with those who have a flair for fashion. I thoroughly enjoy photographing these pretty things and hope you will enjoy them too… {To view any of these on our site, simply click on the name above} Out of the Shell… Drop Leaf… Enchanting Whispers… Strawberry…
