The Tent on the Beach...

New art in the shop! Get em while they're hot though, there are only 6! Vintage book pages from 1857-- block printed, sewn, coffee stained and drawn on! It feels so good getting back together with my true love... paper. 

So Mod...

Had to share the excitement for my shop today! Thanks so much Jena for featuring my work on Modish.

Fifty...

I cant thank you all enough for your kind words in the comment sections of my little blog! Thank you thank you! Today I'm so excited because my etsy shop reached a little milestone... 50 sales! I actually woke up and the email was there, which was pretty fun!


It's just the beginning, it's just a start, but I'm feeling positive and hopeful (which is sometimes hard to come by these days!)


Also, spring is on its way... which is always uplifting.
Wishing you everything you hope for!
I'd love to hear about your milestones...

Piece of a second...

"There is a piece of a second
during which a jet is not flying
nor is it on the ground.


I'm working on a theory
that no one can die
inside that piece of a second.


If you are comforted
by this thought you are welcome
to keep it."


- excerpt from Her my body by Bob Hicok

This is the first but definitely not the last time I mention Bob Hicok in this here blog! He is my absolute favorite poet. I read and reread his work all the time, always finding something new, something different. He is ever inspiring.


In keeping with that, I made a photo collection of things that made me happy this week! 
+ Live music. All the time please! Trevor Hall.
+ New block print in the making. Hooray!
+ I was invited to sell work on the beautiful Fey Handmade.
+ Banana muffins. Need I say more?
+ Strawberries in chocolate with w. 
+ The sun shining in on my "apartment garden!" I'm loving that the sun is setting later! 


Do tell me what made you happy this week! Or what you look forward to for the week to come...

Use me...

Newness in the shop!

Snowmageddon's Hidden Victim...

Just wanted to share my frozen oil picture. It seems as though one shouldn't accidentally leave oil in the trunk of the car when it's below freezing outside. Touche, winter, touche. Actually though, I think the color is rather pretty! I'm glad I snapped a picture, it defrosted really quickly :)
