POP UP SHOP WITH WEST ELM

It was such a treat to spend this past weekend in Orlando mixing in a little work with play!  West Elm hosted a pop up shop with me and several other local makers.  It's been a great experience being a part of West Elm Local.  I was asked to join at the beginning of 2015 and am so far in the stores in Orlando, Estero, and both Miami locations!  It was fun to finally meet some other creatives at this event.  I love that West Elm is encouraging and promoting us independents. 

The first photo is the WE Local display that is always up in the store, it features the products that WE offers from all their local artists plus a short bio about us.  This weekend everyone brought additional products and we set up using tables and pretty props from the store. 

All the prints and cards shown in the photos are now available on my etsy!

HELLO MARCH [ + A ROUND UP ]

 

I feel this way every month lately, but I still can't believe how fast they go by. How is it already March? I had a great February with some fantastic projects beginning for the summer and fall.  I can't believe it's possible for my work to get more exciting, but somehow it just keeps getting better.  I am so grateful.  

Here are a few of the things (and insta snaps) I loved from February: 

-Invitations for Ali & Vincent's Burgundy & Blush wedding featured on Every Last Detail

-Featured in Emily Henderson's round up of the best online art resources! 

-Speaking of, don't forget to shop my limited edition art prints on Buddy Editions

(aka there are only 50 of each size of my three prints then they are gone!)

-Featured on Style Unveiled's "the best invitations to excite your guests"

-Got to shoot a couple looks for Blair Eadie of Atlantic-Pacific blog while she was in Sarasota. Check out the posts here and here. Soooo fun! 

-Featured on MODweddings, such a sweet post.

-I announced on instagram a couple weeks ago that some of my prints will be available in West Elm Florida stores as part of West Elm Local.  So far Palm Beach, Miami Mid-town, Estero, and Orlando. Beyond exciting!

below, some new poppies using acrylic paint.  It's fun to experiment with this medium and dark backgrounds every once in a while. The results are so different but still "me"  :) 

And some snaps from Palm Beach... 

I feel like the weekend consisted of us just doing a food tour of the city, ha.  By "food tour" I mean cocktails as well, obviously.  Spending time at the Breakers is always my favorite.  Hanging out and having appetizers at the Seafood Bar never disappoints.  A couple places that opened since my last trip, The Bee and The Alchemist, were two joints I also greatly enjoyed. The Rabbit coffee and their fresh juices / smoothies...amazing.  Blood orange cocktails and veggie portobello burgers at Alchemist, fabulous.  We had a lovely brunch at Table 26 on Saturday to honor my friend who is expecting her first little girl.  So thankful for my friends and weekends in Palm Beach.  Between great meals and champagne, laughing until I can't breathe, and sharing memories of college times...this is typically how our weekends together go and I am obsessed! 

 Finally, us popping into West Elm in Palm Beach Gardens, the first West Elm to receive my prints.  We were beyond excited to see the little bio there as well. 

Cheers to a wonderful new month, let's make it count.
