fancy little flea
I can’t believe I haven’t share about the Fancy Little Flea, yet! I just got busy with other things, but I have to circle back and share about this event. It was a small market put on by Stephanie Jones of Me & Mrs Jones in Germantown, TN (near Memphis). The venue was absolutely adorable. […]
the counter, portraits, and color wheels
Thanks so much for all of the feedback on my craigslist counter. I know when I ask about painting or not painting a piece, I will always get a lot of comments and opinions! I usually have a clear idea of what I’m going to do with a piece, but I just knew I loved […]
The business of blogging | affiliate links
This is part four of the overall series “The Business of Blogging“, but it’s part three in the more specific topic of monetization (making money off of a blog).

I signed up for it because I found the watercolor examples by the instructor appealing and I would like more instruction on watercolor, but I also signed up because the idea of drawing people scares […]

French Daybed
If you’ve been coming here for a while, you’ll notice that things look a little different on my blog now! I actually had this design created over a year ago, but it’s taken this long to get all of the technical ducks in a row to implement the new design and entirely rebuild the backend […]
white ironstone heaven
During my 15+ year love affair with white ironstone, I have come home with some pretty sweet ironstone hauls. Child’s play. Yesterday, I walked into white ironstone heaven at a local thrift store. One of my “picker” friends tipped me off on the treasure trove and I couldn’t resist making the drive to check it […]
