Recently, I was reading one of my favorite blogs The Sister Project.
Each month I start off reading Sheilaa Hite’s horoscope and find that she has an amazing ability to sum up my life(I am a true Capricorn). This months she talks about “The whirlwind swirling around you is real.” Well this is so true.
I was on a hunting trip a couple of weeks ago and found a large number of 19th century indoor shutters. Fell in love with them. Came back to my studio without them, pondering what can I do with all of these beautiful shutters.
I have been in my new studio space for a year and it needed a shake up. Perfect, these shutters carved out a much needed office space for me to create in, at the same time gave the front of the studio a wonderful back drop for my fabulous collections.
Here is a snap shot of the new studio space, I am still working at putting together the office. Curtains are being made, lamps being rearranged. I will keep you posted.
If you are in the area, stop by and see. If not browse my online shop.
Enjoy the change of season’s. I am having a blast. Have a great weekend.
