Shoe Party & paintings!

So, first I want to say congratulations to Ann Roth on a fabulous space warming shoe party last Thursday at the Paisley Umbrella. She has some gorgeous shoes and I have my eye on those Damask heels to purchase soon- they are absolutely stunning! I had a great time mingling and drinking champagne, and meeting some very talented and creative women. One of whom made the yummy macaroons, the owner of Crumb bakery, Sabrina Sexton, and also the extremely talented woman who made the beautiful cake from Couture Cakes, Lisa Humphreys. Her cake looked EXACTLY like one of Ann's heels (which are very detailed) with her shoe box with tissue- all edible. Watch out, "Cake Boss", Lisa Humphreys is here! Truly a piece of art, and it was delicious!

Last week I focused on painting stationery, which was so much fun since I love to paint! I was inspired by Ann's shoes (heels), and also did some baby boy stationery and some for a mom to be. I also painted some fashionable women with their dogs (one with a pug, one with a brown lab, and one with a little fluffy dog), and I painted two brides. They are all on my stationery and turned out great!  Although I tried to take my own photos for my website, I wanted them to look fabulous, so I am working with my new friend, Monica B., who is a wedding photographer in Atlanta. She will be taking photos of my invitations and stationery at the Paisley Umbrella tomorrow. I am very excited to work with her!

Attached are some paintings that I have done for friends and also for my home. My next project is to paint some bridal paintings for my space at the Paisley Umbrella. If anyone has a painting they want, and like my style, please keep me in mind!

The next post will hopefully have some of the photos from Monica and of my space.... looking forward to that!
