Brightening up!

The adventure of my own mini shop opening up this past month at an Art/Antique Gallery Extravaganza....has been so great. I have learned that brighter is better, in all cases, and have been playing with color. I transformed an old tea box into a lovely shelf/display nook, thanks to my Papa cutting a shelf, and to my Mother for inspiring the pink hue.






So, that was a lot of fun, and I can't wait to get it in my Flying Whimsy shop tomorrow....

I went ahead and did another pink piece, by re-vamping a barnwood box with a wrought iron cross I bought this fall at a craft show, locally.
I put some silk wildflowers and a hand-sew heart made from a vintage quilt block, complete with an adorable bee charm and some sweet buttons, of course!
It is soooo cute and makes me look forward to warmer weather coming!!! FOR SURE





....and finally, I cannot get enough turquoise, and I discovered this great color at my Mom's house last week...aquamarine, but I still consider it a nice shade of turquoise, anyway, I painted a little table and it turned it so cool I have been going crazy with it ever since! I bought a few more bottles, come to find out they still carry the same color, even after God knows how many years that paint has been bought....yayyyyay!






So, lots of color in my life, and especially in my studio lately. It looks like an easter basket exploded. I love it. I am having a great time.
All is calm, due to yoga/relaxation lately,
and all is bright, due to paint!
Go make your day bright!
