Rhode Island school of design museum

WOW ! We went to the RISD museum today. Such beautiful paintings there. Absolutely breathtaking! I could stare at them for hours!

Artist trading cards!

Some artist trading cards I made.

I joined the Etsy September ATC card swap.

I've been matched up with someone from the U.K.

Should be fun!

Brimfield antique fair

We went to Brimfield fair yesterday. It was fun, but so hot! There were lots of amazing and interesting items. I especially liked a beautiful mermaid garden statue but at over $3000 it was a little out of my price range! I did end up buying several old post cards to add to my collection.

We walked around for 4 hours but didn't even get to see half of it. After a while I made my poor husband carry my heavy girly tote bag. He did get some complements :)

My Etsy shop photo assistant!

Take a look at my behind the scenes etsy photo shoot helper. My black cat Shadow! Always there to lend a helpful paw.... LOL!

Butterflies!

I saw 2 beautiful butterflies and a humming bird. I grabbed my camera but the humming bird flew away!

I did get one shot of the butterfly. I am sad to see summer come to a end!

My Deco book came home!

Wow! In my mailbox today, was a deco book that I had made in April 2006 ! It was worth the wait ! The art work was beautiful!

Thanks to C . from New Zealand for returning it! The theme for this book was " The Art of John William Godward". I made this deco book using red paper lunch bags. When I sent this book on its way via alternative decos (yahoo group) I had no idea where it would travel, or if I would ever see it again! Not everyone wrote where they lived, but from those who did, I know that this book went far (Florida, Canada, New Zealand). I shall treasure it, and want to give a special thanks to the creative artists that worked in it -- Brenda A, Anet, Rebecca V, Linda L, Julia P. and C.C. !

Bracelets!!

A few bracelets I just finished working on........
