New Goods, New Shop

BAD, BAD Blogger! I was going good with consistent posting for a while there, but then I fell off the wagon... But, I have been pretty busy lately-I set up a new shop on Etsy, MSD DESIGN Art & Artful Goods This new shop exclusively sells products featuring my original art; Mixed-Media and Illustration. You'll find prints, note cards, home decor items, and more. There's some nice spring art newly listed there. My original shop, MSD Design Illustration & Inspiration still offers all of my yummy vintage and vintage-style supplies-Paris items are hot right now.

Happy June!

Wow, June already. Summer's here. Now it'll be hard to stay inside & do work. Too bad I can't build on a screened-in porch to set my studio up in! Things at MSD have been quite busy lately...a marathon week of scrapbooking to meet a contest deadline, a wonderfully fun invitation job, gift creations and lots of other miscellaneous projects. One thing I haven't been working on lately is my painting & collage work. I'm hoping to get to that once things slow down over the next few weeks. So, check our Etsy shop in a few weeks for some new goodies. Also, our Cafe Press shop has been overhauled recently, see what you think...OK, onto planning my summer fun, oh, I mean work.

Enjoy!

Spring at Last!

Ah, Thank God! I love this stage of spring when the leaves are so delicate and the prettiest, freshest shade of green. I like to call it "chartreuse". I think I learned that one from Martha.And the sky seems bluer, somehow. We're loving all the sunshine and birdsong and fresh air.I want to start using colors in my artwork like chartreuse, sky blue, palest pink, and creamy, buttery yellow.

 

                  Enjoy your Spring!

Spring Fever? Yes, Please!

I’m getting psyched for spring! Once Christmas is over, I’m done w/winter. I recently was inspired (by Tara Frey of Bella Pink) to go to Homegoods, and I must say, I hit the spring décor mother lode ! I stocked up on eggs and nests-my favorite spring design elements. I love filling up bowls and vessels full of eggs, and tucking little nests here and there. And God knows I can’t get enough of my new favorite color-Robin’s Egg Blue.
