Today, I’m busily painting so my sister Kristin, also the VP of Licensing and Business Development here at Kate McRostie DesignWorks, has volunteered to guest blog for me about her day trip last weekend for a little fall fun. Enjoy!

If you haven’t been there, Comfort, TX is an “antique” town located in the Texas Hill [...]
I was so excited when I came across this adorable dress by Collie Ollie Designs on Etsy yesterday. I love to see what other artists and designers do with my fabrics (in this case) or my home decor items in a room.
Michelle from Collie Ollie Designs used my scarecrow fabric (from Springs/JoAnn’s) to create this [...]
Last weekend, I got out of town for a quick “Girl’s Weekend” with my dear friend, Martha. We went up to Philadelphia to go to a seashell show (will share those pics later) because I am crazy for seashells. While I was there, I snapped some shots of some simple fall front door decor that [...]
I think we all need a little inspiration these days. Positive words either spoken or written can have quite an impact on our attitudes; lifting spirits, evoking peace, and even sparking creativity.

Living near the beach in North Carolina, I can’t help but love anything…okay, EVERYTHING coastal related. Seashells, sand, flip-flops, etc… One of my favorite “things” is just enjoying all of the beautiful, funny little shorebirds. They are an endless source of inspiration and always a favorite subject to paint.
Today I thought I would share some [...]
For today’s “Art Inspired Fridays” installment, I decided to see what was out there on Polyvore . I was so excited to see some really neat sets featuring some of my European Coffee artwork!
