FOLK woo hoo to Lanne

2012-02-01T00:01:00.001-05:00

...I love that the latest issue of FOLK magazine celebrates the style of painter, Jennifer Lanne. I am proud to call Jennifer "friend" and her work is among my personal favorite art and hung in almost every room of my home...

Her style is as sure as her talent and it breathes in her home, her studio and her work...

Here's a peek...

You can catch Jennifer in person at our next event in Sanford, FL on Fri & Sat - 3/2 and 3/3 at the Jeanine Taylor Folk Art Gallery...she'll have a new group of work with her.

Thanks to Ben Ashby -- Editor of FOLK -- for the wonderful feature on Jennifer...

If you have not yet gotten your copy, give a holler...this new mag is laden with homestyle glories and at $7 is a keeper...

xxoo Jen

Derby Blooms arrive for Spring!

2012-01-30T00:02:00.001-05:00

It's a pretty thing to watch a flower bloom. The same is true of a friend; watching a friend grow and blossom as an artist...well maybe that's even prettier...

Marie Pendley started her journey making "Derby Blooms" last June when she brought a few to our "Artists' Showcase" at Rose Petal Porch in Lafayette, NJ. There they were gobbled at this event up and we knew she was on to something...we worked on a name for her studio creations on the ride home and she has been at the needle since.

Each bloom is a happy and colorful wearable work of art. Laden with texture, they are almost fragrant in their festive combinations of vintage textiles and trims.

Since the word "derby" is among Marie's favorite words, it leant itself t her moniker. As a nod to old time Hollywood glamour and her studio's location in LA, each bloom sports the title of an old movie...love that!

I'm thrilled to welcome her to Earth Angels as an artist and hope you enjoy a peek at the latest "bouquet"...we'll be posting them to a page on our site soon. In the meantime, we're emailing images and details...

Each is about 5" in diameter and they are $38 each -- I know you might be wondering so I am noting the price here. They can be worn (thanks to clip and pin both on reverse) on lapel, at your waist, on a boot, on a bag, in your hair...everywhere. I actually have two on lampshades in my bedroom...I like my house to play dress up too!

Thanks to Marie for sharing her talent...it's a treat to work with her and an honor to present her creations.

You can catch Marie in person at our next event in Sanford, FL at the Jeanine Taylor Folk Art Gallery...she'll be there with bells -- and blooms -- on.

Insta Friday - I am a Virgin

2012-01-27T10:00:00.008-05:00

Ok, so I am ALL NEW to this INSTA FRIDAY thing...but I am linking up with Jeannett at Life Rarranged to share my week...I am hoping to connect more, and share more -- all through a few cell phone pics that capture my week...

It was a really good but scattered week...a little of this a little of that...some fun kiddo things...and some really BIG BUSINESS stuff ...and lots of great inspirations that have kept me going...

I drove to CT with my gal pal Kathy and just look at these piles of loot we found...old wall paper and fabrics in my pal Jennifer Paganelli's Sis-Boom studio...I wanted to stay and play all day...

...big doings with Boy Scouts...two sons and high stakes in the Pinewood Derby...Rory and "Captai Midnight" placed 2nd ina few heats but we loved cheering on all the racers...

I saw my friend George...he likes my iPhone and he likes me...gotta love a big fuzzy dog...
We skiied...we try to get to the slopes once each weekend...no excuse not to...it;s 2 miles from the house and we have season passes...my fave thing is to have the kids but their ski gear on over their pjs -- it gets us on the slopes early and well, it's a time saver mommy thing ...
I have been a very good girl and been on the treadmill most days...that used to be a somedays things so I like being able to say most days...have rewarded myself with a "cake" see below...

Oh see this cartload of stuff...that would indicate that I actually went food shopping. You mean you do this every week???!! Logically someone who loves to eat - me -- would love to shop for food -- but alas, I do not. See those flowers on the top of the cart - they are my treat...the kids get a box of frozen mini pizza bagels and all is right with the world...

...the latest issue of Where Women Create arrived and I was tickled to see me and us and Jo in her "From the Kitchen Table" Editor's letter...I admire my talented friends!!

I realized I have quite a lot of tea...and as a matter of fact, I am drinking some now!

I learned that I absolutely loathe peeling chick peas -- did you even know you could actually peel a chick pea...yeah, well maybe I knew but I didn't think I would ever...ok, so I did because that wonderful recipe for gluten-free chocolate chip cake requires "2 cans peeled chick peas". Good thing I loved said cake...

...and I am making it again, but I am not peeling the chick peas and we will just see about that!

Allie -- one of my fab kid helpers for Earth Angels -- was here late one night to get the mailing done for our next event in FL on 3/2 and 3/2...oh my March will be here soon...where does the time run away to???

so that was my week...some new food, some old friends and some of this and that...how was your week...do anything new and exciting...

Well...go check out the insta-friday posts and see what we were all up to...

xxoo Jen

one inspires the other

2012-01-27T00:01:00.001-05:00

...if you have the current edition of Where Women Create, you have a magazine that is very special to me...

...here it is above...

My dear friend Jo Packham is the creative force behind it -- one of her most wonderful ideas ever -- to share the stories and spaces of inspiring women and in doing so, to inspire others.

I remember meeting Jo...she called and introduced herself to me in 2007 after seeing me and my biz in Country Living mag...then she got on a plane and came all the way to Warwick, NY to attend one of my events and asked me to be in issue #1 of this new magazine she was creating...

So much has happened since that first issue in November 2008...And as the years -- and with them many issues of this now well-known magazine -- have accumulated, my friendship with Jo has deepened. I am forever grateful she picked up the phone and reached out to me.

I was very touched by her editor's letter this issue and have to tell you, I write her right away saying it is she who inspires me -- she who inspired so many of us...I love working with Jo on each edition...and this mag she has created, it's such a gift to the many artful spirits who read it cover to cover each edition...

And good news -- once again Jo will be our special guest at our upcoming annual "Spring Soiree" in Saratoga, NY on May 19 & 20...hope you can mark your calendars and attend to meet Jo...

xxoo Jen and if you need the current edition...just call or email me...

...hope is the thing with feathers....

2012-01-24T00:02:00.008-05:00

It's the little things we do in habit that stand sentinel to an accumulation of memories...

In the evening I pull off my baubles and put them on a shelf of my kitchen hutch...I cannot bear to put pretty little things away...and I know I may put them on again come morning. (I took this shot in the thin light of a late night...)

For some reason I often think back across my day at this moment and reflect about what came in and out of it...I am grateful for the day, and hopeful for the morrow. (...here's a morning shot of my new fave necklace as I went to grab it and put it on...)This is my new favorite little thing that has been hosting the memories of my days as I wear it...

It's a sweet handmade necklace with my fave Dickinson quite (Cheryl Kuhn...I know you know this poem in your heart the way I do!).

"Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul,

And sings the tune without the words,

And never stops at all,..."

This necklace was made by jewelry designer Lisa Leonard...and you can see it and a bevy of other sweet baubles -- on her site...

Many can be personalized to hold special dates, memories and names...

I bought my other fave necklace that Lisa creates for my niece Hayley for Christmas... it reads simply.... "loved".

Lisa is a talented artist and a wonderful business woman who takes the time to share herself via her blog...and if you like what she creates, she offers 15% off if you join her mailing list...so do pop over to her site and take a peek....it's a delight...and please tell her I sent you.

And newsflash...Lisa has just announced that she is launching a new line that will be available with partner retailers....ohhh ahhh...hoping Earth Angels will be among them!

Expect a packed house for the second visit from Jen O’Connor’s Earth Angels as they travel from all corners of the country to set up a “pop up” show at Jeanine Taylor Folk Art in historic downtown Sanford. This merry band of artists specializes in one of a kind handmade art, jewelry, accessories, soft sculptures, and more. You’ve seen them in national magazines like Where Women Create, now you can meet them in person.

O’Connor holds a masters degree in city planning which led her to organizing urban markets. Her love of early American folk art led her to marketing and organizing a group of more than 20 contemporary folk artists (each successful in their own right). Her group of Earth Angels have developed a national following and have been featured in such publications as Where Women Create, Country Living, and Romantic Homes. www.earthangelstoys.com

Over 500 items including paintings, pottery, home decor, sculpture, wearable art and jewelry will be featured in this two day showcase.

"Jen and her Earth Angel artists will take over my gallery for two days and present a show that has historically brought in over 500 visitors a day," remarks Jeanine Taylor. "I am thrilled to host the heArt of Winter-South show in Florida and bring art collectors to Sanford from all over the southeast."

confessing the Disney thing...

2012-01-08T17:45:00.003-05:00

Ok so I am a little addicted to Disney...that is Disney World...having three little kids fuels this, as does having a 9 year old girl who has been various Disney princesses over the past few Halloweens (and other dress up days in between).

How can you not love Disney World...That's the place created by the man who said, "If you can dream it, you can do it."

Love that man Walt.

And so does this talented graphic designer...if you have not seen these images yet, please give them a browse (skip this post of Disney Princesses are not at all on your radar)

http://jirkavinse.wordpress.com/category/self-directed/photo-manipulation-self-directed/

If you are on Pinterest you may have seen some of these amazing images...if not have fun and browse with the eyes of a little girl and be enchanted.

My own toast to 2012

2012-01-01T00:01:00.001-05:00

Another new year is served up to me...I am grateful...so very grateful.

Let us toast...

...I am supremely confident that my life is a work in progress. This frees me from the hope of completing any of my “to-do” lists and entitles me to learn with gusto.

The idea of being perfectly incomplete gives me the excuse to just perhaps, try something new, mend a heart, change my mind, or make a friend. I remind myself that I am in dire need of patience, fortitude and strength, and that these attributes will never accumulate in quantities beyond what life might demand.

An so, the end of one year and the arrival of a new one is that firm and steady reminder of the march of time. And with it, the ceaselessness of the chores, responsibilities and the delightful diversions that accompany each day. A merry medley of “to-dos” and “atta-girls” coupled with the unexpected and the knowledge that contentment is a constant feast.

What a wonderful excuse, this change of the calendar, to pause and measure the blessings of my idiosyncratic life. Laden with people and places and burdened, as are we all, I adore the days and with them the memories of the time that has been, is and will be.

Yet, there is no heaviness of spirit as the clock winds down and then up with the charge of the months ahead. I am grateful that you are all within them.

And so I offer you this from a piece of my favorite Torquay pottery from Devon, “Long may you live, happy may you be, blessed with contentment and from misfortune free.”

Sláinte in Irish…or in English, Cheers! ...or Prost or or or...whatever you say that makes you pause in homage to the promise of this new year...
xxoo Jen
Earth Angels

PS...you blog readers who follow me have seen this post before...it seems the year has melted away and I am forever in its debt for all that it brought to me. I feel as if my life is on fast forward and the rest of the world is on play somedays...but I take it all in stride and welcome the gift of the new year...

Debbee's Last Call on these pieces...

2011-12-29T00:01:00.001-05:00

Yes, it's true.

Debbee will retire some of my fave pieces on 12/31/11...

This is your last call to add these to your collection

AND this is also a last call on her very merry Christmas Holiday Editions for 2011....they too can only be ordered until 12/31/11...

...if you want to see more images and details on size and price...click this link to Debbee's pages on our site...

And if you mention PROMO CODE "lastcall10"...we'll take 10% off your order...

a wonderful little shop..."The Vintage Emporium"

2011-12-27T08:00:00.000-05:00

On my recent, annual trip to Orange County, CA for our event, we were able to sneak in a few fun little jaunts...topping the list was our visit to "The Vintage Emporium" in Long Beach...

What a delight -- Julie's store is wonderful... (...for those of you that know "Rose Petal Porch" -- Joyce we found your twin sister -- separated at birth!!) This store has an uber cute vibe with oodles of vintage finds at fab prices -- I bought a cute table that I now have to get shipped -- silly me -- but I could not live without it!
Here I am with Julie... she is a delight!

And here's a peek at the shop...these images are a bit dark -- we were there in the evening -- so next time I need to be there during the day to get some brighter shots...

Here's Julie with Earth Angels' Marie Pendley of "Derby Blooms"...Marie lives in the area and she is a regular at the shop....thanks to Marie for sharing this local haunt!

Keep scrolling for my fave shots of the store and her displays...

Here's what Julie's website says about her shop:

The Vintage Emporium is a small gift shop located in the Historic California Heights area of Long Beach, California. It is filled with unique one of a kind vintage treasures, that show their years in style rather than wear. The quaint little shop is a cozy pocket filled with delightful things, from vintage linens, collectible pottery, shabby chic furnishings, and 50's purses and hats, to a fabulous array of funky costume jewelry. If you are looking for that perfect accent piece to finish off a room in your home, or a gift for someone special, the Vintage Emporium has something for everyone. Stop by soon and bring a friend!

Krys, Melody and Jennifer loved it all...

Here mascot!

Here are the details for the shop:

2011-12-20T00:02:00.001-05:00

OOPS!!! Silly me I posted these images to facebook, but never BLOGGED on our fab jaunt to "Phyllisophical" in Tustin, CA where -- for the second year -- fashion diva, Phyllis Swanson, welcomed us to her glorious clothing store for our "heART of winter" - WEST event...

....and let me add a huge thanks to the artists who made the event... Debbee Thibault, Krys Kirkpatrick, Melody Doyel, Marie Pendley, and Jennifer Lanne...as well as our special guest, Jo Packham!

Here's a peek at some of my fave images from our event on 12/2 & 12/3 and the women who made it possible...

...friends and finds...

2011-12-17T00:01:00.000-05:00

I am lucky to have a great group of gal pals who enjoy a jaunt around the shops in Hudson, NY every now and again...we love the excuse to get together and walking and browsing is just like a mini vacation...usually it's me and Kath (second from left)that head up to meet Jennifer Lanne and Stephanie Lloyd (far right)as soon as the kids get on the bus -- this time Anne (on far left all the way from Australia!!) and Ro (second from right) joined us...

We rove around and then race home ...though a long drive for a short prowl about, it is sweet...

Our meeting spot and first stop is The Hudson Supermarket...it's the retail locale for designer and visionary Stephanie Lloyd... she has an amazing style and well-tuned showcase of mercantile and industrial chic objects, as well as uber cool furniture offerings -- many of them the repurposed factory pieces that I love... (her hubby Ken works on these pieces and his talent is sure!)...

Here's a peek at what's in her booth right now...

Here are Jennifer and Stephanie goofing...

After a break for a quick bite we headed down the row of more than 65 antique shops.

Here's a peek at my other very favorite shop in all of Hudson, NY ...Red Chair Antiques...it's just down the block on Warren Street...Here's a peek at the facade with its "chair" sign..

Owner Jocie has a keen eye for great finds -- many from Sweden -- and unbelievably charming and well-curated displays...

I am already dreaming our our next girls day out...it will be several months but until then I will be thinking of my friends and our finds and the laughter we share...

Do you have a special place to jaunt with your gal pals? Do comment and tell...

they call it puppy love...the tale of an accidental collection...

2011-12-09T00:01:00.000-05:00

I took a look around my home the other day, and while there is no real-live canine companion in these parts, there sure do seem to be a number of sweet pups and pooches of every breed. I am not really sure how all these dogs came this way, I am a collector by nature, but really they just started jumping in front of me in my travels, junking jaunts and shopping forays...

Some would argue I am desperate for a real dog, and this collection is just projection. I would not argue one bit. But the travel schedule I keep makes it an impossibility so for now I have this budding collection....

This guy has been on the counter for years...
This chap was found in a junk shop, poor thing needed a home...

It all went haywire when 3 black Scotties showed up in CT (thanks again Sue for the early Xmas gift!!)...

A small cache of canine figures stuffed into a little cabinet in the upstairs hall...
A chalkware pup...he was a gift from my gal pal Lisa...a fellow dog lover...
Cheryl Kuhn made this charming piece...

And my fave fella came from Red Chair in Hudson...see Jocie...he is in a place of honor!
My Dad gave me this metal doggie...

And these are from Sue at Skippy Doodle...both presents (she spoils me!) the right one of course is of her design...
...yep there's another Skippy Doodle pincushion!!! Sue gave me that when I visited with Kathy and the Kids last summer...
This little flat wooden one was a many years ago yard sale score...
These are really uber tacky faux Staffordshire pups are a junk shop find, and I love them, the standing pooch on the bottom shelf has a mate....another Hudson treat...

...this shot above is the view from where I sit right now...

Woof Woof! and look at this fella...he was in Stephanie Lloyd's booth in the Hudson Supermarket...I see him from where I work...

So yes, it's puppy love...but really an accidental collection...

Do things come into your life like that too???

...makes me feel good...

2011-12-01T00:01:00.003-05:00

Being organized makes me feel good -- not that it isn't sometimes more than just a pleasant fiction -- but hey a girl's gotta dream....so how wonderful is it that my friend and uber talented publisher Jo Packham has a new title about....you guessed it...being organized...

Of course, this has Jo's fab visual spin on it...

"Book of Organization: The Art of Creating Order"...

Take a peek...oddles of fab images, layered with texture and artful concepts that have me ready to purge, classify and all out get myself going -- and just in time to start the new year off on a more organized foot!

AND CATCH JO AT OUR EVENT IN TUSTIN, CA THIS WEEKEND AND SHE CAN SIGN THE NEW BOOK FOR YOU!

Sorry folks there are issues with the images ...we will upload again soon....xo

If you need one on your shelf, or on your coffee table, call me at 845-986-8720 or email me to order...you will love the content...

Thanks Jo -- once again -- for raising the inspiration quotient!

knit from friendship...

2011-11-27T08:35:00.003-05:00

I have watched my friends knit for years...much like watching that big "Zamboni" scrape the ice on the rink, or the waves crash to the shore, I have been entranced watching Anne sit on my couch, sleeves, then sweaters emerging from her hands at the needles. Kathy has had a bowl of knitting projects on her coffee table for as long as I can recall, I have touched but never queried...

I was happy to let the craft remain a mystery until last week when I drove Jane, Anne and Kathy down to a wonderful knitting shop...

It's a mystery no more!!! I am entranced with the pattern play and the odd way in which the knots slide onto opposite needles never leaving the next stretch of wool too far behind...an ever emerging line of whirls...

The OCD takes over as I do a row and then another...ahhh Jane, you are right, it is meditative...

now if only I could manage more than 5 minutes or a few rows before the end of the day, but that will have to be enough...I predict 3 years to make a scarf...

I think it might really be all about the yarn...just look at the colors and textures...deep sigh of longing....

Thanks to Kathy...

...and Jane...
....and of course Anne...who was power shopping for her next project and could not be caught on film!

Sharon is wonderful, here she is seated on right with some of the many customers who strolled in for assistance and guidance...I would love to take her classes...(I have listed the schedule below...)

Here's where it all started...Sharon's fabulous shop in Westwood, NJ..."Creative Knitworks"...

I love that Kathy forgot two of her knitting books there...that means I will just have to drive her back there to pick them up and have a prowl around...Kath, can we think of a better excuse to make a dash down before the holidays...

See an old dog can learn new tricks...

xxoo Jen

Earth Angels

Sisters on the Fly

2011-11-23T05:00:00.001-05:00

By now, many of you have heard about the "Sisters on the Fly"...I had read about these festive, peripatetic spirits, I had dreamed about owning my own vintage trailer and wandering about on junking jaunts with gal pals, I had....screeech!! That is SOOOO not happening now, I have 3 little ones, but hey a girl's gotta day dream...

Once again I encountered these wayfarers in Atlanta -- it seems the Art Girls' RoadShow and the Sisters cross paths here and there...They were ensconced in a campout at the Country Living Fair...what fun...peek at their set-ups...

Here's what the Sisters say about themselves....

We have more fun than anyone! We invite you on our outdoor adventures with travel trailer caravans to the most beautiful places in the country. Our sisters like to share tips on buying and restoring vintage trailers, they know that once you see all the fun fly-fishing, riding horses, camping, eating, and laughing, You just might want to join the Cowgirl Caravan on its next ride.

Now, doncha wanna drop everything and get out there with them??? Me and Sue have big plans....Read more about SISTERS on the FLY:

Appaloosa Journal It began as a simple fish story by freelance writer Marianne Love

Even Oprah

is captivated by these free wheelin' gals...click this link to see the article in her mag from June 2011

And in the meantime, I love their style and appreciate their inspiration factor. How can I now love that these women are braving it in new place and learning and doing what they want to do.... you go girls...

xxoo Jen O'Connor...

I've got the vintage wagon and that will just have to do for now!

How Harbor Grey changed my life...

2011-11-20T00:01:00.001-05:00

Do not miss Jane Dagmi's color chats. Jane speaks color as a language, weaving in texture and style with a perception for living within a space.

A recent post features my thoughts on an affordable and relatively painless kitchen re-do...

Here's a link to read her post...Jane has loaded it with tips and her sense of style and called it

Lessons from a Tale of Two Kitchens: Five Painterly and (Relatively) Painless Kitchen Makeovers

aka ...how a paint called "Harbor Grey" changed my life....

Peek at Jane's color sense and follow her "Color Chats"...

Thanks for including me Jane...miss you gobs and cannot wait to get to FL in March for our event in Sanford....can we lure you to catch all the colors of the "Art Girls' RoadShow"????

inspiration...Stash Style

2011-11-17T00:01:00.000-05:00

...this is STASH STYLE...

I loved their booth at both the Columbus and Atlanta Fairs and just had to share images of their artful loot and vintage goodies...

I first met proprietress Shannon Vance (on left) when she owned a store in Chagrin Falls, OH several years ago...it was a treat to see her again and I wish her the best in all she is doing...she has an keen eye and a great aesthetic...

You can find Stash Style here....yum love goody!

more than coffee...

2011-11-05T00:01:00.000-04:00

I love coffee...so how cool us it that I got this wonderful note from a fellow business owner -- she has a coffee house in WI -- who shares the moniker, "Earth Angels"...

Hi Jen,

I stumbled upon your sight and fell in love with EVERYTHING! How I ended up there was while I was typing the address to get on my own website to edit, yours popped up on google and I couldn't resist checking it out. I love what you are doing, and I had a nice time browsing, for way too long! Anyways, had to send you a note since we share the same name! Great name by the way!

Well, have a beautiful day and dream on fellow dreamer!

Love, Peace & Coffee,

Rachelle Hruska

www.earthangelscoffeehouse.com

So what do you all say??? I think we need to take the Earth Angels & the Art Girls' RoadShow to WI and the Earth Angels Coffeehouse!

Rachelle...thanks so much for reaching out and all the best in what you do...I love how you tell your story and how you have gotten to where you are now...

You are right, Earth Angels is a powerful name - I feel those that walk among us with great talent are angels on earth and I see you share the name and the grateful opinion for each day.

Good luck and thanks for reaching out...

xxoo Jen
