I thought I would check in and say hello while I have a minute before bed. Its been quite the busy week getting back to work, and that last push before this weekend's New Bedford Open Studios event. *Fingers crossed* for good weather.. but not too good that will send people to the beach. We want cozy fall weather that is perfect for checking out some art studios!!!

Here's a peek as to what you'll find if you decide to come out and visit, and I hope you do!!!

15 days and counting...

Spent the past few days painting up furniture and my showroom wall. Just a few little changes from last year.. I like to switch it up from show to show! Here's a pic of my showroom area in the making.. I decided to doll it up just a bit more than usual. Starting in October I will be keeping regular studio hours so people can pop in for a visit or to do a little light shopping! Ideally, I would like to be there on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Saturdays from 10am-2pm. I'll decide once it gets closer!

I made some more bowls this morning, and I am off to pick up some more clay so I can fill in the gaps from my catalog. I don't have everything in stock, and I would like to have samples of all my designs if possible!

For those of you in the area.. check out our New Bedford Open Studios website for more info! www.newbedfordopenstudios.org

Wish me luck! 15 days and counting!

Have a great day! xoxo

Open Studios is Coming...

I can not believe it is September already.. I can not believe I only managed to have only 2 beach days this year aside from my week vacation to Fort Lauderdale. I can not believe that tomorrow I will be celebrating my 32nd birthday.. and to top it all off that I am not in London at the moment as planned. Oh and.. the topic of today's post.. I can not believe open studios is but a mere 2 and a half weeks away!

Don't get me wrong.. I LOVE Open Studios.. it is my favorite time of year! On an average we get about 500 visitors into our spaces and I love having that connection to the local community. We get a really positive response from them, and most of them return every year!

But.. I really have not had the time to design a new collection piece as I usually do and looking through my "inventory." I just realized I have none. (hardly) I am very grateful for that in a way.. I send out batches of work to a bunch of new shops carrying my goods.. but I need to replenish!

So luckily I do have a month off from my day job, leaving me plenty of time & energy to get EVERYTHING done!

I have outgrown my pink phase.. and now I'm looking for a cool and calming blue. So I will be repainting my showroom walls, repainting my furniture, shopping at ikea for some interesting new lighting, and cozying up the place! Hopefully I can get this all done this week leaving me time for a quick little vacation to Savannah Georgia next week. I hear it is lovely with antiques, art, gardens, and beaches.. my favorite things in life!

I will post a studio before picture later on... but I'm telling you.. it is not pretty. ;)

Wish me luck! xo
