White on White


I love white. What can I say? Sometimes just a little gesso and white ink can make me the happiest. This is not art, but somehow, it just made me happy to put this together today. How is your Wednesday coming along ...

Foundling :: beautiful jewelry


Busy busy today getting some deadlines met - but not too busy to show you our newest find in the jewelry case: Foundling! Betsy from foundling contacted us about her lovely line right before christmas and we were so pleased to be introduced to her work. Each piece is an original, something near and dear to us - and each piece has a hidden story just waiting to be shared. Here is a link to her place in our shop and to her blog. This Ikebana necklace would be so perfect for that special person on V-Day!

My new journal and a little life story


my totally spiffy new 2010 journal!!!!
I just opened this fabulous package from Darryl Berger aka "red-handed" with my brand spankin new 2010 journal. Which is so perfect as it took me until today to really be "in" 2010. Too much life going on here.
the one who went ... not feeling great, but lovely none the less.
Last night we got daughter Grace off to France via a trip to Boston. She had caught a cold two days ago which was a bit of a mess, but she managed a couple of photos for us. I must thank the universe for sending us perfect weather for the day -- made it completely uneventful, yet there was moisture in the area of our faces a bit at the "good-bye" stage. We are completely thrilled for her and know she is going to love living her life long dream of living and studying in France.

So all in all, it's been a great start to the year, but now, I can start the organizing part and put it to page in my spiffy new diary. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend, here, the sun is out and it making our hearts a little lighter today!

20:07:14 - 20:18:31 by Anna Corpron and Sean Auyeung
Another couple for the It Takes Two exhibit -- opening February 6th. Anna Corpron and Sean Auyeung will be with us again! Anna and Sean were part of our Mapping the Way exhibit in 2007 as well as both of our Incredible Print Shows. It's wonderful to see how they have been working together for the past years and the projects and the art they have come up with has been fantastic. These pieces are no exception and we are thrilled to have them in the gallery again!
