introducing versatile art plaques!

you guys, i'm smitten. i just adore these brand spankin' new goodies we've added to the online shop. we're calling them versatile art plaques because they're well, versatile! here's a peek:
totally love them collected together. each comes with its own easel. and each arrives signed by me. but wait, they also look great grouped together on a wall:
they arrive ready to hang, too! pretty nifty, eh? they've been printed on canvas and then mounted to the plaque. here, i grouped them together inside ...

texas love

(i brought my cowgirl boots with me)
i'm smitten with texas. i'm here in dallas where the southern sweet talk is rampant, where the women where cowgirl boots with bling, where personalities are huge and warm. where, in my eavesdropping, every other sentence is bless her heart. though i've barely been here 24 hours, my accent has already started to mimic the people around me - something that is hilarious yet feels oddly just right.
when i was in highschool, i used to think i'd one day live in t...

a signing

it's a whirlwind over here.....but i wanted to share these photos!

haiti

i just found out what happened in haiti - i've been out of the loop and unplugged to the news until ten minutes ago. it feels so strange to have blogged about all the goodness in my life earlier today when at that same moment, thousands of people were suffering the unspeakable, the indescribable.
i'm saying a prayer, lighting a candle, and wishing for a million moments of humanity.

atlanta gift show, part two

i hope you guys don't mind my geeking out and sharing photos of the window displays from the atlanta show. they're not the best photos (window glares everywhere), but you'll get the idea. i fell in love with how the set designers displayed my work - they captured my aesthetic/whimsy perfectly and i couldn't have been happier.

they even used the same white chair i use in my studio. loved all the details, like the hat boxes and birdie cage on top. not sure if you can see it, but there's even a v...

goodby, florida. hello, atlanta.
