A new gig...

Happy Wednesday, darling friends! Where has this week gone already? I can't believe it's halfway over...sheesh.

I have a little bit of news for you...

The lovely Nicole of Lillyella blog has invited me to be a blog contributor on her site. I'm just so thrilled. I will be focusing on home decor. There is an endless amount of beauty and inspiration to draw from so it will be such a joy to work on the posts.

Urban Chic Kitchen

My first installment was posted on Lillyella yesterday. I focused on the kitchen as it's Nicole's favorite room. If you have a spare moment, I hope you will drop by Lillyella and check it out here.

Thank you, Nicole, you little angel!

Thank you for visiting, dear friends. Have a beautiful day....xo

Two Lovely Surprises...

This week has already been a very happy week for me. Yesterday, the beautiful and extremely talented Nichole featured one of my pieces on her gorgeous blog, little brown pen. It was such a wonderful surprise, and made me smile all day. She titled her post "Dear Fringe", just like a warm personal message, and I was very touched by her generosity.

Today Etsy included my Lovely Librarian Cowl in their Etsy Finds article. Such a thrill and honor. Again, I wasn't expecting this. When my two dear friends, Kateri and Shana, contacted me almost simultaneously to congratulate me, I was completely surprised to learn about it.

I'm most grateful for both of these special gestures of appreciation for my work. I find that when life feels most stressful, or discouraging, magical little gifts float your way to remind you that you're headed in the right direction...
