still working...

Getting caught up for a girl who wears many hats is no small task. But I am really trying to get the online shoppe filled back up with inventory. Here are a few special finds that will soon be added...



 
 
I'll be adding more items over the next few days. Happy shopping!

My summer beach walks have inspired me to shoot new items for the "down by the shore" page of our online shoppe. Here is a little peek of the vintage finds that will soon be added to the website
 
 
a vintage Vaseline jar filled to the brim
with colorful and delicate coquinas...

 
decoupage galvanized buckets...

 
old club soda bottles with wire bails...

 
shell inspired creamware dishes...

 
an old remedy bottle from the 1800's...

 
pint sized Atlas E-Z Seal jars with wire bails...
 
 
hand crafted chenille heart pillow...

 
jars filled with white shells and coral...

 
a spectacular pair of natural shell earrings from the 1950's...

 
vintage French scallop shell shaped butter molds...
 
 
an adorable retro cookie tin...

Now it's time to take more pictures for the rest of the pages...

bloggin...

I am very fortunate to not only love my job but I also have the ability to spread my creative wings on a daily basis. 
On top of running my retail shop and handling client's design duties, I am able to shoot and write stories for a number of magazines. I also contribute tips to a few other blog sites.
The article I wrote yesterday was a breeze...
 
Seashells: Nature's Accessories
 
For a designer living on an island known for its stupendous shelling...this gig was priceless!
Here are a few pictures intended to inspire...



 
A tiny simple seashell can bring a smile, conjure a memory and encourage a daydream. So the next time you have the opportunity to walk along the beach, take time to pick up a special treasure or two. Think of it as a way to decorate with nature!

I just finished a wonderful Independence Day magazine shoot
that will be tucked away until next year.
 
I thought I would share a little sneak peek...


 
I sure hope you all had a terrific weekend filled with
bright fireworks, great food and lots of happiness!!!
