COLOR! and story...Pratt Creek Art's in the Summer issue of C&B

A big and colorful congrats to Angela Moulton...

I am thrilled to announce a lovely feature on this talented painter 

and Earth Angels Featured Artist in the latest SUMMER issue of 

Cottages & Bungalows magazine

Thanks to Jickie Torres, Editor in Chief of Cottages & Bungalows Magazine for including Angela in the new issue...and for helping to share her style and story...

 

Color just leaps from Angela's Pratt Creek Art original oil paintings...

Most are sized at 4x4 - 6x6 inces -- some are larger -- 

each one is a marvel to me...

 Most are priced from $50-$75 and in keeping with the artist's philosophy to keep original art affordable...

 You can see more of Angela's paintings HERE

thanks again to the editors and artists for working with me and Earth Angels to bring more color and art and style to the world

Hello Monday and Hello "Gatherings"

Hello Monday...

Are you ready for Spring??

I am...Spring is newness and all about what's fresh and happy to me.

And I am excited to be working with a new friend...

...it's wonderful too to share the news that "Gatherings" magazine Editor-in-Chief Heather Spriggs Thompson has invited me to be a regular contributor to her lovely and charming magazine. And thanks to Liz Hanley for the wonderful networking and friendship that has brought us together (...you all know Liz Loves Vintage and if you don't you should!)

If you are not familiar with this new publication...back in July of 2011 Heather launched Gatherings as a creative hobby. Now, Gatherings is composed of a creative team of contributing editors from the US, UK and The Netherlands featuring regular columns on food, vintage, interiors, crafts, styling and photography.

The Spring Issue- Artists + Artisans is released TODAY....

HELLO NEW ISSUE!!! (order here for FREE SHIPPING use code GATHERINGS)

...and I've invited Heather to be our guest blogger today...so HELLO HEATHER...

Here's what she has to say about her magazine...

Hello Earth Angels readers. It's such a pleasure to share with you my great labor of love. Gatherings Magazine was born out of my design blog, Gathering Spriggs. For my first issue, Summer 2011, I gathered stories from other bloggers and friends with the intention of using it as platform to share unrecognized creative talent, shops, and decor. Gatherings began as an digital only publication with a worldwide audience and has been featured on world-renown blogs like : Decor8, Lobster and Swan, Bright Bazaar and others. After having my son in April 2012, I had to make an important decision. Either I had to let go of Gatherings or dive in head first to turn this creative hobby into a business. So by September 2013,  I relaunched Gatherings Magazine with a new website, blog and for the first time offered printed editions. Knowing Gatherings couldn't survive as a solo project, I gathered a team of creative talent from across the globe including contributing editors from the United Kingdom, The Netherlands and the US featuring regular columns on food, vintage, interiors, crafts, styling and photography. Gatherings is an independent, home-grown magazine with a mission to provide beautiful inspiration for everyday living and encourage creative spirits.
I really believe in growing organically and living by the golden rule. I approach each issue and each collaboration by putting myself in the shoes of my readers and contributors. Along with editing, I also photograph, style and write articles each issue.

Now, with our Spring issue launching this week, we are excited to be partnering with so many creative organizations like Earth Angels Studios to help Gatherings grow into a nationally recognized print publication. In this issue we celebrate artists and artisans. With articles inspired by working artists, home + studio tours, and recipes bursting with the colors of a painter's palette, the pages of Spring 2014 salute creativity.
 

Thank you Jen for allowing me to share my story and my passion.

Hello to you Heather and thanks for sharing...I loved doing the piece on Jennifer Lanne for the new issue...cannot wait to work on more for you!

Hello new week and thinking of Spring...

Hello SUITCASES!!! AND BOXES!!!

Hello lots of school projects on the counter. Can you spell BOOK REPORTS!!!!

Hello I need a cup of tea....

Hello to all of you and wishing you a wonderful week whatever you are up to!

I'm a Romantic!

I am completely honored that the editors of Romantic Homes (thanks Meryl and Jacqueline!!)

 invited me to submit for their annual 

"Romantics Issue" where they feature women entrepreneurs...designers...artists...adventurers...

who epitomize the "romantic lifestyle" 

so appreciated by their readers...

This arrived in the mailbox yesterday...

What I wrote comes from my heart and I hope you will seek out the issue to share it...

"As a romantic, I find beauty in the color and texture of everyday life.  I then work to share what I see with an enthusiasm that’s infectious.  It’s a choice to see the possibility of each day…perhaps it comes from a willingness to believe in serendipity and all the meanderings of imagination."

....a whole lot more and then...

"In business I cannot help but share my passion for handmade. Something that comes from the hands, comes from the heart; I have built my business sharing the talents of other romantic and inspiring women who create the most beautiful folk art.

Everyday, I make time for beauty. I look for the lovely and let it feed my soul."

In the spread you'll see me, and what makes me tick, and I love that some of my fave artists are included in the images too...Jill Schwartz, Juile Arkell, Letty Worley, Lisa Leonard, 

Jennifer Lanne and Karin byDesign.

 This new issue is a true delight...so many great women included...so many heartfelt ideas 

and notions to warm winter and roll us toward Valentine's Day...

Thanks again to those that made this feature possible. I am thrilled. 

xxoo Jen
