Pier One

Love my Pier One apron...........it's very Anthropologie-ish, don't ya think?

oh...you didn't know

that Wednesday is Cute shoes day? well it is.

'Lovely Thing'

My mixed media piece called 'LOVELY THING' is now available as a Print!

Pretty purple things

(for my little girl)

Monday makings........

Well the snow storm was not all that bad, even though it IS FREEZING out!

I'm working on some additional LOVE prints and a PEACE one.

I tried to grab something at the infamous Blackapple update, but not so lucky this time.

I was going to try for a sophie doll, but $90 is a little out of range for this job hunting gal : )

It was fun to watch everything disappear in 3-4 minutes. I'm always amazed. I think the only painting still left was the most expensive one for $700.00.

Off I go......I still have to scan some work and take pics as well.

Happy Weekend!

This photo is just some doodles from when I was sketching out some possible business cards. I now use it as a cover for my binder because I Love all the colors together!

Enjoying my S'days, working on some orders, getting ready for a supposedly big snow storm tonight!

See you Monday!

My Cog and Pearl Rings

have arrived....one is a blush pink and the other is black. So cute!

I would give a shot of me wearing them...but sandpaper-like, wintery hands ain't so pretty right now, trust me!

It's a good Monday

I took a quick trip to visit my sister in her lil thrift store in Jersey City and came back with some great finds!

Some gold picture frames
a silver teapot, which I will use as a Vase for my flowers

This little treasure box, I love, not sure what its original use was

And the best find is 2 of these gorgeous bookshelves, see 1 below.

Don't pay attention to the styling...I literally threw it down there and put some stuff on to see if it would work as a bench. And it does! The other one is upright on the other side of the room

See, now that's a good Monday!

Petals are in the shop!

A few little PinkyBrown 'PETALS' have made their way to the shop! The grey ones are first, assorted colors are coming along.

My wee 'model' is wearing her own set ; )

House Beautiful

I was looking through the March issue of House Beautiful that arrived a couple days ago, and LOVED this BIG yellow flower ring in there. It was from COG and PEARL and I noticed the area code was 718! So I googled them and saw they were in Brooklyn. I called and they no longer have that lovely mustard color BUT I ordered a pink and a black! I can't wait to get them.

Does anyone else think its strange to find jewelery in a home mag? : )

You can visit them at http://www.cogandpearl.com/ or call 718-623-8200, they are super nice! Especially when you ask to repeat all the colors the ring comes in again, because you can't possibly decide. Oh and they are only 8 freaking dollars, how awesome!

HELLO......Pretty hangers!!

I love pretty hangers and especially the puffy satin ones! But you can't have too many because they take up a bit of precious space in our already too small closets. I do think they are great for those special pieces you have or want to display. Or for hanging out your clothes for the next day.

Here I have embellished some pretty satin hangers with 'words' written with yarn!

One says 'Pick me', as if it's calling out for you to wear that outfit!!! The other says 'Hello Pretty'...with Hello on one side and pretty on the other!

Hangers are $8.00 each,

if you would like yours to have a custom message, email me for info : )

CORALINE

We just got back from seeing Coraline, and LOVED it!!! I thought it might be too spooky for a 5 yr old, I just wasn't sure and then to add the 3D part. It was a bit creepy but I got a thumbs up from my lil girl, she really loved it. I didn't think the 3D effects were so awesome, but the movie was!

Foley & Corinna

Don't you want to take a trip and visit Foley and Corinna?... LA or NY, you pick!

SIXX DESIGN: Robert and Cortney Novogratz

More beautiful home images from SIXX DESIGN. Can't wait to see their book coming out in April, it's called Downtown Chic. I hear they have alot of exciting projects in the works!

Milk Magazine

I wish I could get this magazine...*sigh*

PINKY BROWN Petals, coming soon!

You've seen these petals on my last sweater makeover and I've decided to make some for the shop!!! I also use them on my Scarves, but you can use them for many things. I think they would be great for a little girls hat, or even for your tote bag, or if you have a plain pair of flat shoes, I could go on and on but you get the idea : )

Pinky Brown PETALS coming soon!!

Wednesday Happenings.....

Well it's a snow day today and I'm glad because my little girl is home sick, so atleast she's not missing school. Good timing. Hopefully it won't last long.

Digging around for inspiration here........ TED.com

Reading about this wonderful Design firm SIXX DESIGN and their wonderfully large family of 7 children! (was Six until they added one more : )

(Rooftop Basketball, can't beat that!)

I love Pink rooms, especially when done really well like these!

Book Cover ART- LOVE Print

I've made several more KEEPSAKE BOOK ART pieces that I really adore.

I'll share more soon. I decided to make a Print of this one and it is in the shop now.

You can see the close ups there.

Children's Book Art

I wanted to use some of the old books I collected recently to make something for my daughter.
Here are 2 that I wanted to share!

Before- plain book

After: Mama Bear, Baby Bears

This is the second book which I think is my favorite of the two.
