...so little and SOOOO BIG...Welcome Christie Jones Ray

Eliza the Mouse is a tiny little friend 
from Rose Water Cottage in Franklin, TN
She is small and sweet, but she has some very big stories to share with all of us...
 
But it's a very big deal that Christie Jones Ray -- her creator -- has joined the ranks of our Earth Angels Featured Artists...

Welcome Christie!!
xxoo
Christie is an exuberant and sweet, author/illustrator I met just more than a year ago in Round Top, TX...
She has a dozen books celebrating the adventures of her Eliza the Mouse and her friends Sugar Lump, Baby Mouse and Rosebud...
Her work is lovely and gentle...
it makes me want to pause to celebrate the little things, the everyday things, that add kindness and beauty to your days...
Welcome Christie...
You can see her creations HERE

 Each book is laden with lush illustrations and Christie's artful calligraphy...

 ...my current favorite title...
 ...but I love them all...


And I will be sharing more news on Christie's expanding adventures with 
Eliza AND with Earth Angels...

 
It's both an honor and a pleasure to do business with Christie and to celebrate her story and style!

astounding...

let's kick up our heels about this...WELCOME Finding Home Farms

This is clearly something to kick up our heels about...
 Earth Angels Studios is utterly thrilled to welcome Laura & Dana Putnam to our 
family of featured artists...

They are an amazing couple with a richly textured (and oh so fragrant) story to share...
 I got to know them so much better when I photographed their maple syrup production space and interviewed them for my column in "Where Women Create" magazine last fall...
and I am so grateful.
 Their feature ran in the February edition of Where Women Create magazine...

...there's just so much to Finding Home Farms...

So stay tuned for more info on their Maple Syrup...
...and how cool!! 
 They will be joining us at the  
FALL COUNTRY LIVING FAIRS to do tastings and a demo on the kitchen stage with this fabulous stuff!
 They also have a line of truly amazing soy candles...
clean and long burning, all-natural ingredients, 
and essential oils...

I have been looking for a candle line for sometime...many of you know about my documented obsession with smell and the warm touch of a candle burning in my kitchen...
and I have been missing carrying candles...
 So I am thrilled to be able to present their 
six signature scents...
and more are in the works for fall and holiday too!
 

Thanks again to Laura and Dana for their willingness to work with me, I know that as we put our heads and hearts into this, good things will surround 
all of us, as well as those who can encounter 
their amazing brand and all it encompasses...
To read more about them, read Laura's BLOG click here...

 To shop their candles, click here...

more soon on Finding Home Farms!

I could not be more excited about the chance to work with my friend Sandra Evertson...

...and I have to tell you more about our new partnership to share her 
ORIGINALS via Earth Angels Studios & 
her matte resin 
CRAFT BLANKS via the Art Girls' RoadShow...
Many of you know Sandra via print magazines and her wonderful Social Media Presence 
(to follow her click the prompts from her about pages on her site)...
...she is not only the artistic genius behind "Relics & Artifacts" matte resin craft blanks, but a contributing editor and regular writer for Jo Packham's Where Women Create magazines...that's how we know each other...thanks to Jo!

I adore Sandra and her style...I admire how she shares her own creativity and in doing so, inspires others to create...

So how thrilled am I to present some of her ORIGINAL creations...all made with her blanks, found objects and vintage goods...

Here's a small selection of the wonderful one of a kind, originals we have from Sandra on the site...

These are a few among my faves...






If creating is your thing...please look at purchasing Sandra's matte resin craft blanks here:
...there are soooo many wonderful, and affordable sets...these should be a staple in your crafting arsenal of supplies and inspiring objects...

...we will also have these blanks at 
June 3rd, 4th & 5th...

And a huge thanks to Sandra for the opportunity to work with her to share her style and artistry...
It's an honor.
