It’s so nice to get fun stuff in the mail rather than just bills and junk! And what could be better than art? Check out my new Tumble Fish Studio prints by Marsha Jorgensen:

I was introduced to Marsha’s artwork (a.k.a. Tumble Fish Studio) through a fund raiser for a mutual friend, Tina Wright. I was the top bidder on a piece of her artwork and a gift certificate to her shop for another print and she was kind enough to send me three! (Thank-you, I love them!!) Marsha makes these delightful collages the old-fashioned way — by hand. You can see more at her blog or her etsy shop.
Last week I also received my order of art goodies from The Shoppe at Sommerset. I now have a set of test tubes, some watch findings (tiny, tiny gears and parts), unusual paper flowers and a cool collage sheet. Still no time to play with them - maybe this weekend…? I hope so — I’m going through art withdrawl and my hands are itching to CREATE!


This beautiful augury was made by my good friend Andrea. We haven’t had the chance to get together in quite a while. For my birthday last week, she joined my husband, daughter and I for a delightful lunch and afternoon shopping in the art section of the local book store. What a fun surprise!
Bills, junk mail, more bills, more junk mail, TREASURE! Just look at the fabulous goodies
