Artful Admirations – Palomas Nest

Back in 2007 when I first started writing this blog I stumbled upon these lovely little ringbearer bowls on etsy.  I fell in love with their simplicity of form and material and the simple message of love each seemed to bear.  Well here we are 2 years later where the creations of Caroline of Palomas […]

Out and About this weekend

It is not often that I have a chance to meet my clients face to face. The only regional interaction I have with prospective brides is at the handful of wedding shows I participate in each year.

Change is good

I have been wanting a change for my Current Projects gallery for some time now.   Today is the day. After weeks of scribbling new name ideas on paper with no truly fabulous results, a dinner with my Mom was all I needed to dream up the perfect name for my Current Projects gallery.  We […]

Dive into her website to find lovely porcelain vessels […]

Happy Labor Day!

I realized yesterday that Labor Day weekend is just upon us!   The fact that I did not realize the Holiday was this weekend,  made me think…perhaps I need to slow down a bit.   I found this image from one of my favorite artists, Gustav Klimt (more on him next week) and it made […]
