Stitch Rock, an Indie Craft Fair and Bazaar

Sorry for the very long break in blogging! Here are some photos from my first art show since I became Mrs. Carter! It was my second Stitch Rock. It is a great art show in downtown Delray. It is at a old schoolhouse gym. I just love it. It was so fun to be next to my sister and her peace owls again too! :)

Well I will be back soon to update you with some pictures of the doggies Daisy and (of course) Chloe! And you may see some new friends in my Etsy shop soon. Have a great day! :)

My retro suitcase & Chloe face! ♥


Good bye friends! I am off to Costa Rica for a week! I am so excited. I will be home on Aug. 22nd. A week off work enjoying the sunshine and adventures every day! The only bummer is I have to leave Chloe and my boyfriend behind! But at least he will be watching Chloe. I hate being away from them! But I am looking forward to spending time with my family! I will take lots of photos! I got a new camera! Which took these photos. :)
I found my retro suitcase on Etsy and fell in love! I want to travel to all the places on it and more! It came with me when I went to the Bahamas! I found it in Red Comb Vintage's shop! Check it out for lots more good finds!
I will visit your blogs when I return! Happy weekend and week to all of you!!! ♥
p.s. Please vote for Chloe everyday while I am gone! She will be your best friend! ♥

Retro Flowers and more...

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I didn't end up going to the Keys, but it was still a good weekend! Me and my sis thrifted a little and there are some new finds in our new vintage shop Double Vintage! And here are some paintings I have done lately, and the retro flowers one was listed in my shop last night!
Oh and by the way I went to Target with my boyfriend yesturday and was happy to see Orla Kiley was 50% off! I didn't think it would ever go on sale! I held back and only got a cute mug, but you may want to check it out! And trust me I did get my share of Orla Kiley goodies from Target! :)
Have a great week!!!

I also make clay things...

I am in a pottery class with my mom and sister. It is really fun. We have been taking it awile now, well really just since we don't have our own kiln! And you just go and make whatever you want. I love going. My favorite thing I made lately is my clay doxie, I made one before Chloe's colors . But I love the crackle paints, they look retro to me! I'm not sure yet, but you may find some in my Etsy eventually, or at my first art show Raindance! :)

Its Mondayy...

Back to work. Counting down the days until the next weekend! Well this weekend I enjoyed painting all day Saturday with my sister! These are two new ones I did! Were getting ready for Raindance Art & Music festival at the end of this month! She is making large owl signs for it and they look soo good! Also this weekend I got to see my little sisters end of the year dance recital! It was soo cute! This years theme was Under the Sea, my favorite! :)
Hope you all had a great weekend, and a good day! ♥

Doxie & Rottie Custom Painting! ♥

I got to do another custom painting! It was for Mary who has a doxie and a rottie. It is painted on a 8x16" canvas. She wanted a green background and the retro flowers with some little birds. She sent me some adorable pictures of her dogs, one of them is below! I loved how her rottwieler was smiling in all the pictures. I met Mary through her doxie Lilys twitter! She is very nice, and I hope she loves the painting as much as I enjoyed making it for her! I look forward to doing more custom paintings in the future! :)
Aren't they cute? Thanks for looking!! Happy April Fools Day!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥
