Dinner Party, Anyone?

I hosted a dinner party last weekend. It was a pretty big accomplishment for me- grandma's linens, the wedding china and handmade placecards! I made these little placecards on 2x2 canvases. I was pretty pleased with them and they certainly helped everyone find their seat easily. Mission accomplished. I may have to entertain more often!

Chloe Flower Companions

I recently sold a pretty little red Chloe Flower. The woman who purchased it emailed me and said that she loved it hanging on her daughter's wall, but thought that it needed company. Thus, the inspiration for my first Chloe Flower Companion. I loved this idea. I often hang pieces in multiples so, why not multiple blooms? The woman who purchased the flower heard about me via a blog- gotta love bloggers! So, in addition, I have a new promotional code. Enter "blogger" during checkout at www.mychloeflower.com and receive an additional 20% off any piece!

apricot birdies

A couple of weeks ago I spent a wonderful, hot, sunny week in Eastern Washington. Me, being from Seattle, and still enduring 59 degrees and rain, relish any time I spend east of the mountains enjoying the sunshine and lack of rain. Apricots have always been my favorite fruit, and my time over East inspired me. Beautiful, sunny, hot weather and the promise of fresh, flavorful fruit led me to this piece, Apricot Birdie. I love the simplicity of this piece. I am going to hang it in my house until someone snatches it up. That is how all of my best pieces end up. I am excited to hang them in my house and then someone buys them. Of course, I am not complaining. When I have a bare spot on my wall, it only inspires me to make something new to fill that spot! Here's to waiting for a hot, summer day!

Orange You Glad....

If your mom was anything like mine, you've heard the corny knock knock joke that follows:
"Knock Knock"
"Who's there?"
"Banana"
"Banana Who?"
"Knock Knock"
"Who's there?"
"Banana"
"Banana Who?"
"Knock Knock"
"Who's there"
"Banana"
"Banana Who?"
(audible sigh of frustration here)
"Knock Knock"
"Who's there?"
"Orange"
"Orange Who?"
"Orange you glad I didn't say banana?"
Thanks, mom for always making me laugh! This little orange is for you. Orange you glad I made it?
