Big Reveal!

Happy First Day of Spring everyone! :)

I hope you are enjoying the day.

 The sun is bright and shining, the birds are busy singing, and flowers in the garden are blooming. :)

It's a good thing! :)

This is my new line of miniatures.

Gingham in many colors!

This is what has kept me very busy in the studio for the past month.

I have made chair cushions, coordinating trimmed pillows and place mats complete with napkins in rings.

My inspiration.

Where do you find your inspiration?

This is  from Country Curtains.

I enjoy the images in their catalog and have ordered from them in the past for my real life size house.

Always a positive experience there. :)

Gingham is very versatile, as it lends it's self well to many different decorating genres.

In black, it looks traditional.

Red looks great in cabin decors.

Classic blue and white looks wonderful in beach houses.

Pink for shabby chic styling.

I will be listing them in pairs (chair cushions, pillows, place mats and napkins) and also as an entire set, two of each, at a discounted rate for buying the entire grouping.

These will be listed this week in my new Art Fire shop.

You may have noticed something a little different around here?

My banner and avatar have received a little spring pick me up and refresher from my friend Beth of berrybluecreations on etsy. I had sent her a copy of my old business cards and she recreated the graphic digitally and revamped my avatar, banners and business cards. Beth was wonderful to work with, she was quite professional and very accommodating.
