What's new...

It's been a busy week of painting furniture

for my shop + for clients.

A couple of cool things stand out...

#1.

Right now...as I write this very post...

Royal Design Studios is featuring me as their

Saturday Stencil Star!

Throughout the day they 'll be showing work I've done using Royal Design Stencils.

Needless to say...I am so honored!

Visit the site today to take a look & shop too.

Back to painting...

 Done sewing 

switching it up + keeping if fun + keeping it fresh

 its back to brushes.

TeardropHankys...

It's no secret...

I love hankies!

Vintage hankies from the 

30's + 40's + 50's

I own so very many hankies

grouped and organized by color + style in

pizza boxes

And now for a break...

A little week long break  

Kona Coast on the big island of 
Hawaii 

I know this seems like a slide show of our summer vacation...

and it kinda is!

More so though...

the importance of getting away from 

paint + computers 

 refresh + reacquaint with family

and just swim with the fishes...

in a good kinda way, not a Godfather kinda way!

Rejuvenating!

May Flowers

As you may already know

I switch out my theme at

Leaping Lotus

every month to keep it fresh

This month of May is

May Flowers

Break it up...

Takin a little break with my family...
Kona Coast on the big island of Hawaii...

Feeling Tropical...

This is a fun little project 

the man of the house 

recently prompted me to do...

What started out to be..."let's paint the front walk way"...

turned into...

"how about a koi pond!"
