New Art Prints!

New in the shop this week are two prints of my original Japanese postcard paintings. The prints are 8 x10 for easy framing and would make a fun addition to any room in your house or office!

One of My Favorite Parts of Coming Home...

Looking through my new photos today I found this shot of Sam's mom and his parents adorable dogs greeting us at their doorway. This is the scene every time we come to visit and it warms my heart each time. These dogs are the sweetest girls you'll ever meet and I'm so thankful that they were rescued by such a loving family. Go Dean and Debby!

Botodesigns First NY Show! Recap

Last weekend marked the first ever Botodesigns craft show in NY! I decided to test the waters by selling two days in a row at Artists and Fleas Indoor Designer Market in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The show was great and it was wonderful to have so many NY friends come out to show support.

The show goes from 12-8 on Saturdays and Sundays so it was a long two days but the atmosphere was warm and friendly. I made some new pals and even reunited with a classmate from Pratt, Brookadelphia's Amber Zezeck. Amber and her sis make awesome laser cut jewelry with quirky words and images. Sam and I just couldn't resist buying a pink unicorn necklace for his sis Amy's birthday (which she loved!)

We also bought a beautiful shirt for Sam's mama's birthday from Umsteigen, an amazing clothing company, who I will be coming back to for some personal shopping ;)

Since the show was a success I will definitely be looking into doing more shows next year in NY. Can't wait to see you again soon!
