Vintage goodies...


I really love going to estate sales and thrift shops and digging through boxes of stuff under tables or in corners.  It is the thrill of finding just one little treasure.  Very often I will use items in my photography and then either keep them or sell them in my vintage etsy shop.  I found an ironstone pitcher, a vintage fan, and some French books the other day.  Here are the pictures I took which are for sale here and the items will be for sale here some time today.



I'm heading to Pa. for Thanksgiving and there are quite a few shops to dig through down there.  Can't wait!

Glitter, vintage music, and words...

Getting ready for the Rowayton Art Center Holiday Show.  I've seen different versions of this kind of ornament and here is my version.  It started out  as single ornaments then morphed into banners.  I love getting lost in the process.  Glitter, vintage music, and letters are everywhere.



I've also been gathering some great vintage pieces for my etsy shop and will post them later.  Have a  great day!

Happy Weekend

Fall is so beautiful with rich colors, crisp air, the smell of the fire place, or something delicious cooking.  It all works together to create a feeling of comfort.  That's the only word I can think of... comfort.
To have a beautiful fall day on the weekend is an added bonus.  Today was one of those days.  I hope you were able to experience the comfort today.
Happy Weekend







Me Ra Koh Confindence Workshop




I have loved photography for as long as I can remember and still life photography has been my creative fuel for some time.  I have always enjoyed taking photographs of friends and family and decided that I could combine both having the beauty of the details and the storytelling together.  It is a winning combination.  I had the privilege of attending a women's workshop this past weekend in Washington D.C. and it did not disappoint.  Me Ra Koh and her husband Brian Tausend taught a two day workshop with 25 female photographers and it was amazing.  The first day moms and babies came to model and the second day families came.  The experience was remarkable.  These babies, moms, and families were so much fun.
Me Ra and Brian do workshops all over the country and I can tell you from my experience it was a wonderful!
