WOO WOO...Derby Blooms in Romantic Country!


 Woo Hoo to Marie Pendley for the wonderful feature on her "Derby Blooms" in the just released Autumn issue of 
"Romantic Country" magazine...



 It was a blast to style and shoot the images for this spread on Marie and her work.  


Those among you who are true Earth Angels fans will spot the work of three other artists among the images -- Laurie MEseroll, Nicol Sayre and Jennifer Murphy...and if you attended our events in Atlanta or Sanford you'll  know where some of the images were shot....

.

For those among you new to Derby here's a peek at some of my currently available faves...


 ..a HUGE thanks is due to wonderful Editor-in-Chief, Mary Forsell for believing in the romantic beauty and artful creations of the Earth Angels' artists...
this is the third showcase on one of our artists and this attention is much appreciated!!

AND A BIG CONGRATS TO YOU MARIE -- 
the celebration of your style and wonderful creations is well-deserved!

To see more of Marie's creations, click this hot link to her page...each is $38 
but mention promo code "Adorn Me" when you order and enjoy 3 for $99

...a new bouquet arrives...


Fresh from the artist's Long Beach, CA studio, Derby Blooms have arrived just in time to add their charm to our event at Schuyler Pond this weekend....

With names like "Barnum", "Follies", "Annie Get Your Gun" and "Sunday in the Park with George"...it's easy to see the artist draws inspiration from old shows and classic films.... 
 Each is a wonderful stylistic blend of textures and made from vintage and found trims and fabrics...
 Blooms are made to adorn...they have a pin to style as a brooch, or a slide clip to adorn everything from a hat or boot top to a lampshade (as on of my clients tells me!!!)...
 This is my current fave...it's called "The 39 Steps" named for an old Alfred Hitchcock thriller...
 But I love this one too...
 More details and blooms can be found on Marie's page on-line...

Thanks Marie for this beautiful bouquet!  
Cannot wait to see what else you have stitched for our event this weekend!
xxoo Jen
HOPE TO SEE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE!

Derby Blooms arrive for Spring!


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.

xxoo Jen O'Connor
