My New Project: garage converted to a studio
I have been teetering back and forth with a new studio location in my house. We recently remodeled our basement, but my son took it over a few months ago. I know when I come up with house projects my hubby is more than excited to get the project running (I'm so lucky that he loves to remodel)! The garage is a wasted space right now. I could use half of it, but I need to have a huge yard sale this spring before I can move on! OH, the thoughts that are running through my head right now!
After browsing the web, I found tons of pictures for inspiration. I LOVE Shabby Chic. This style incorporates vintage items, light colors, recycled things, painted furniture, and mismatched collectibles. I think my jewelry shop has bits of this type of style flowing through it too. My Mom loves roses so it's in my genes for sure.
Hmm...let's begin...I can dream a little...

My daughter would be sharing the space with me. She is a little artist in the making - always creating things just like her Mama!!
Right now my studio is in the dream stage. More to come...

Etsy Find: Campbell Jane
"Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. "

This tells the story of Folk Art by Campbell Jane which is an Etsy shop full of whimsical art and beautiful life. The owner is a full time painter, artist, Mom, poodle Mom, and also loves music. I believe you can see these things in her paintings. All of the paintings offered in her shop are original works of art.
Campbell Jane offers budget friendly prints, book marks, and art cards of her originals as well. I love the feel of her shop, the colors used, and the portraits of angels. I collect angels so this was treat to feature her shop this week! All I can say is WOW...such talent!!
Here are some of my favorites
