Fall Show Preview

I have been working furiously in the studio on items for the Hearts and Hands Emporium at First Baptist Church, Gainesville, Ga. The show dates are September 18 & 19. As a bonus if you mention this blog I'll give you $5 off any purchase of $25 at the show. My focus is on holiday items right now with Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas just around the corner. The signs, bottle wraps and frames would all make great teacher and hostess gifts and are all priced $20 and under. I'll also have some of my large frames there along with cards by Annie VanAmberg (my sister) and maybe some of my mom's items as well. Yes, my entire family is right brained. I'll have more items updated as we get closer to the show and after the show I'll post remaining items in my etsy store. If you can't come to the show and see something you like, just post a comment and I'll get back with you.

Well back to painting and creating!

fun shopping

So here are the promised photo's of my favorite store in Newnan The Vintage Flea. They carry a mix of antiques and new home accessories, clothing, jewelry and art.

This donkey we found outside a great antiques/garden store in Senoia, Georgia (just east of Newnan). I couln't afford a $500 piece of garden art so I opted for a picture instead!

I'm recycling bottle caps into my art for some fun whimsical items. I'll try to take some photo's this week to share with you.

Last Days of Summer Break

I can't believe summer break is almost over. The boys and I have had so much fun this summer and I'm disappointed to see it ending. We're in Newnan right now visiting my parents and I'm enjoying the antiques and shopping offered here. We're headed to one of my favorite stores today in downtown Newnan, The Vintage Flea. I'll take some pictures to post later so you can see why I love it so.

Downtown Newnan, Georgia

With school starting next week I will have more time in my studio to get ready for the upcoming fall shows I'm doing. Did I mention my studio is finally completed? I'll post those pics too when I get back in Gainesville. My first show will be in September at the First Baptist Church of Gainesville Hearts and Hands show and I'm starting to book any home shows for November this month. If you are interested in hosting a show, and yes there are benefits, let me know.

Enjoy these last few days of summer, I know I will.
