...still here... and wondering....

 ...I'm still chugging along and my first thought today... 

whatever will I do with this BLOG...??!!

There's a flurry of social media options out there... still... 

I don't want to let go of this... so here I am...

IF you have not caught any of my IGTV Episodes... take a peek HERE....there are 24 episodes since March from 4-15 minutes in length and topics vary from Halloween traditions to exploring Devon art pottery... lots of things that make me tick...so I like to share

I took a look at some vintage doll house furniture of the 1930s, and highlighted the creative re-purposing by our featured artist -- author, illustrator, toymaker - Christie Jones Ray... 

I share some intel and inspo a few times each month... 
I'm a talker, so this seems a good way for me to share....


 Suggestions on topics welcome... I have background and experience in vintage and handmade, and decades of experience in business development.

CLICK HERE TO WATCH....


 

 Thanks for reading... and I will post again soon!

HAPPY COLOR = Goldfish Marmalade

...oh this is happy stuff...
 ...we've been able to add 
creator of Goldfish Marmalade designs - to our stable of featured artists....
and I could not be more thrilled and truly honored to be working with her!
 ...each one has the most fetching of color palettes...
and is beautifully made...
 Kimberly's talent is sure and bright...and she is a wonderfully fun person, too!  Hopefully some of you met her when she joined our crew at the Country Living Fair 
in OHIO 6 weeks ago...
Pop over to her page on the site to take in all her deliciously colorful works on wood... her wonderful prints start at just $18...and with our current coupon for 15% off (use FALL15 at checkout this month) that's a lot of style and happy color for the price....
