I hope your all having a wonderful weekend! I have been setting up the new office and now that I am almost done, I am ready to get the ball rolling again which I thought I would do with some vintage prints. It has been awhile since I have posted any new ones, I seriously have so many to go through, hundreds.. (candy for me) And with it being the start of summer thought some more beach themed ones would be a perfect start. Both are available in my Etsy shop.

Thank you as well for all of your sweet comments below on my collaboration with Lady Gaga and Etsy. That was so fabulous for me and for a great cause so definitely enjoying the moment that it is :)

Hello New York!

Decided to grab some more of those vintage photos to edit. I still have a large happy box full of eye candy, so along with my paintings/illustrations and photography, I am going to to continue to mix then in my shop for you as well :)

I also have some great news if any of you are interested in taking a e-class on Accessory and Design that will be taught by Aneta from Bobbin Talk. I posted about it awhile back here. She is kind enough to be giving all of my readers a $50.00 discount for signing up. Just mention that you heard it from here and you can contact her and learn more about the class as well at Fashion Tutor.

♫ The Police Everything Little Thing She Does Is Magic.

For the simplicities of beating the winter blues today I took a silence in the sun so to speak. The sun came out, I dropped everything lol.. But seriously, when I usually head outside, I take a million other things with me, the phone, reading material, etc etc.. Which yes is all wonderful and one of my favorite things to do, but being such a busy body, I decided to put it all down and be alone with my thoughts. Closed my eyes with the sun beating on my face (sunscreen applied) and listened to the snow melt down on the street, perfect!

Now I am off to enjoy some yummy Belgian Beer with a friend. Enjoy your night! xo

Photo was taken in Spain Circa 1950's.

I am going through my vintage photos I inherited to add to my Etsy shop for 2010 and came across this one which immediately reminded me of one my favorite stories when I was young, Ferdinand the Bull. Awww yes wouldn't we all rather smell the flowers than fight.. (sometimes) ;)
