The Butterfly Collector

This is my most recent painting, entitled 'The Butterfly Collector'.  I'm pretty sure that her luna moth dress, if real, would be the most beautiful dress in existence.

I'm going to open a print shop on Etsy soon, including my paintings and photographs.  I'll post a link on the blog once it's complete.  Very excited about it! :3

'Freckled' Magazine Feature

We were both featured in a friends magazine recently!  'Freckled' is, to put it in their words, all about: diversity, creativity, innovation and beauty.  I've looked through the entire issue and think it is absolutely beautiful-- full of stylish people, dreamy photographs, and stunning writing and artwork!  Click here to read 'Freckled'.

For our bit, Kate and I took a few photos of each other wearing some snazzy outfits, were interviewed, and both helped to compile a playlist of some of our favorite songs for Summertime.  We're featured from pages 42-47. :) (And our playlist is at the end.)

Hey all!

Amanda and I just had the wisdom teeth dug out of our skulls, yesterday, so I'm all kinds of hideous and swollen. In other words, I refuse to step outside of this house! (As if I had the choice.) So I thought I would take this time to introduce you to a wonderful etsy shop [read on] that I think you should really enjoy!

But first, the owner:

This is my beautiful best friend, Chrissey Hanson. She took us around Nashville to do fun things, a few days ago, for our Nineteenth birthday. (This is when I took these photos!)

At the grounds behind the historic Belle Meade Plantation. (You can't really tell, but Amanda's wearing a great 70's floral midi skirt, she found at goodwill. We'll have to shoot some more with it later. So awesome!)

Chrissey is about to move to England. So any purchases you make at her shop will go towards helping her out! Which means you have to go look at it! (Please.)

Without further ado: Teacup Village
Vintage and [occasional] handmade goods! So, if you enjoy our shop, you will certainly enjoy hers!

Going to miss you, Chrissey!

I love you, Lucy!

A tribute to Lucille Ball, born 100 years ago from this day.  We love you!

 

One of my favorite clips from I Love Lucy:

P.S. I can't believe I've not mentioned my love of this show yet!  I will have to do a separate post soon to  rave about I Love Lucy.

~a little gift to start off the weekend well~

it's necessary that this be here.
