I made a stop at a gas station the other day and spotted this truck with gas cans on it. I was really in awe that they were so colorful and pretty. They looked like carnival cotton candy. I think this might become a drawing soon. Stay tuned . . .

Happy Mothers Day – vintage love
I got such a great gift this year for Mothers Day – it has literally caused me to loose sleep two nights in a row. It is a vintage, beautiful industrial typewriter. Vintage 1950s Royal Portable Manual Typewriter. As an object alone it is magnificent to look at but I plan on using it for journaling and art making in general. It is so pretty I had to pull a Raising Arizona Holly Hunter “I love it so much Hy” moment!! I feel like it was stolen from the set of Mad Men. I also feel like dancing a little “it’s mine all mine” jig! Ahhh . . . I just love it. I started to redo my office area because I was so inspired and wanted to rearrange everything to give my little Royal a focus.
My new nugget of happiness
Pared down desk area - laptop sits in front. Vintage tray holds my goods
Office supply cabinet re-organized and labeled. Oh joy!
Another look - ahhh . . . just take it in.
Pretty Patterned Papers
I have to post these pretty patterned papers – I know there are a lot but I just can’t help myself. Some are from the convention in Glendale last week, some I found at Office Max, some at Michaels and some at Borders. I just can’t get enough. Several of these are from my favorite designers including Rusty Pickle, S.E.I, Basic Grey and Sassafras. I am inspired to create! Now I just have to really carve out some time to get into the studio – soon, very soon! Enjoy looking.
