PAINTED: BOLD FLORALS ON BLACK

I have been adding to my collection of big bold flowers on black, these are my favorite to paint! I go in phases of loving greyscale but I'll never be able to resist creating such colorful, bright florals.  I'm so drawn to the way they pop on the black. I have sent these three to the printer and they will be listed in the shop as soon as I receive them (and approve that they are beautiful enough for your walls!)

NEW PRINTS IN THE SHOP

I'm so excited to have these new prints ready for the shop! There are six new ones all together and I plan to keep adding more soon (like all the sneak peeks on instagram).  I've been vigorously painting every single day to expand my line, finalize the holiday collection, and just have way more card options that hopefully you guys will love.

Hop on over to see & shop the new prints

HAPPY FRIDAY + SOME LINKS

Happy Friday y'all!  This has been a week filled with wedding projects and wrapping up some 'day of' decor for my fall brides.  I've also started on holiday items, I'm quite excited about them.  Even though I'm technically behind in stationery world, this is the most ahead I've been since adding greeting cards to my collection last year. It feels weird to even think of Christmas right now! It has certainly pushed my creative limits lately since I was so far from being in holiday mode.  A challenge is always welcomed though.  Stay tuned for some exciting news and more Iceland photos after the weekend! 

As usual, some favorites: 

*Fashion buyers picks for Fall via The Coveteur - swoooning!

*Frida Kahlo at the NY Botanical Gardens, looks so pretty! I'm hoping to make it when I'm there in October.

*These are looking like the perfect black flats for fall

*This picture, because... [heart eye emoji]

*Lace Free People dress, so beautiful and comes in four colors. The green would be a perfect holiday party dress

*This Valentino floral print is beyond gorgeous, one can dream...

*This color palette

*Free Peoples boudoir lookbook shot by Harper Smith, dreamy  

XOXO

SKETCHBOOK // FLORAL LETTERS

Playing around with some floral letters lately.  I love the ampersand! I think I will add more and make some fun words for greeting cards. Hope y'all are having a lovely week. This summer is just flying by  :'(

BOTANICAL PRINTS // IN PROGRESS

I have been working on some simple black and white botanical prints.  I love this style so much and plan to do a little collection of these.  Even though I use lots of random colors in my work, greyscale always has my heart.  Painted using gouache / watercolor with a teeny tiny brush.

WEEKEND SCENES : SOUTH CAROLINA IN PICTURES

We spent Memorial Day weekend (and some) at my grandparents house.  They live in a tiny town in South Carolina where my grandmother grew up.  I love visiting, as it's always relaxing, slow, and quiet there.  No wifi, barely any phone service, the woods, and farm animals. love.  Greenville, South Carolina is only about an hour away, we usually will spend a day there when we go.  Main Street in Greenville is filled with fun little shops and restaurants that we always love visiting.  Although, we seem to return to Tupelo Honey to dine each time because it's just so darn good there.

I take similar photos each time we visit, although depending on the season they always feel different. New plants and flowers in bloom, new baby animals born, a new area in the woods to explore...

I'm having a bit of a hard time jumping back into the week after a long weekend! Although  I've wrapped up a few huge projects this week and last, now I am looking forward to another weekend away in Orlando.  West Elm is hosting me and some other makers at their store on Conroy Road! If you are in the Orlando area please stop by and say hello.  The event is Saturday May 30th from 12pm-4pm.
