Pretty In Pink

As we were preparing for our online art exhibit over at  Found Gallery Artsy Forager.com
I started experimenting in pinks, inspired by Lesley Frenz who runs the hip blog
Artsy Forager. Well, it was a challenge to say the least but I do love the results!

Plus, The Horchow Collection recently pinned one of my new peices to their
"The New Pretty" board on Pinterest! You know what this means don't you? More pink pretty please.

 

 

I'm So In Love With Mint

I just love love love minty muted colors. They sooth me, they call to me,
they remind me of romance, kindness, calm and peace. I just love everything
about them! What I love even more is that everything seen in this image
excluding the shoes, are all handmade. Enjoy.

Care for the Hands of an Artist

Since moving to Tennessee from Florida I have noticed how much dryer my skin has
been due to the change in humidity compared to back home. My hands have especially suffered
because I am painting twice as much these days. Anyway, a few years back, my absolutely amazing
wonderful and ever-so-caring husband, gave me what he calls "My Spa Bag" full of lotions, soaps and
all things girly. He had been on a secret search for a good hand cream as I was always complaining
how dry my hands felt. He stopped at a place called Crabtree & Evelyn that is located in the Green Hills Mall
(for those of you in the Nashville area) and explained to the woman working there at the time that I was an
artist and what my needs were regarding my hands. She recommended the Hand Remedy and Therapy line.
He also stopped by Aveda (I was already a user of their oils and body lotions) and found another hand
cream that I had never tried before. Well within days of using these products, it does not matter which ones
you use, my hands began to feel like silk. No joke, silk!! I was sold.

The Crabtree & Evelyn lotions come in several different fragrances. My favorites are the Pomegranate,
Himalayan Blue & Wisteria.

If you are an artist or just someone who loves your hands feeling soft & silky, you absolutely must try
these products. You will be so very happy with the results!

Speaking of dry hands, I need to get back to my paints!
