Art Inspired Fridays - Sew Terrific!

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 [...]

First Impressions for Fall

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 [...]

A good way to combat that feeling is to change up accessories seasonally for a fresh feeling in your home. [...]

Come Fly With Me...

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 [...]

The Great Outdoors...DECORATED!

I love being outside. While my preference is to be on the beach enjoying the ocean air, the softness of outdoor curtains on a porch or back patio can really offer a moment of serenity or renewed energy. Can’t you just imagine sitting there, enjoying the breeze? While I love the [...]
