A fire in the wood burner is keeping me cozy as I recharge…straightening up the chaos in my studio and daydreaming…thinking thinking thinking. Got my new business cards yesterday. I used a photo of one of my favorite painted canvas upcycled bags….I think this one went Florida’s way this past year. (contact info is printed on the back)

They Come Alive at Night
August 9, 2013
Rumor has it, they come alive at night. By day, they sit on our shelves and function as banks for pocket change….and as conversation pieces. All were hand carved and created by my dad :)
My birthday present this year was inspired by the musical “Cats”, it was the first one created in a series that included not only cats, but leopard ladies too. You can see more of his work on his website – http://donsdaylilydivider.com/ …and a close-up of my birthday present, the tabbie.
Whimsy in My Garden

A handmade surprise from a very sweet friend…an upcycled flower made with layered vintage plates and a glass candle holder topped off with the perfect old brass grannie’s button. (She has lots more started…I saw them in the crafty area of her basement. Maybe she will let me photograph them when she is done and I will share them here :)
