New places to find me!

Hi Sweet friends!
   I have some pretty exciting news to share with you!  I have been working at getting a little retail space of my own started in Posies, my long time friends Laurie from "Posies" & Tammy of "Affairs of the Heart" have combined efforts . It has been since 2006 that I have had my own  retail shop. This will be quite different,not having to  being there on a daily bases, But much more suited for me in this time of my life.   I am now making most of my own merchandise and gathering vintage and unique finds to keep things fun  and  interesting all mixed  in with my art.   Here is a sneak peek of my little corner in Posies/Affairs of the Heart, 107 E. Branch St. , Arroyo Grande , Ca.  it will look totally different in a few days,  getting ready to change it up for spring. 

okay ....these were taken during the holidays , so it looks alot different already!

And located just across from me is Chrisy from Chrisy's Cottage, she and her husband are new to our area and loving it! Here is a little peek of in her space during the holidays they is much more to see.

More good news !

Don't leave me yet!  For the past few years now, I have been visiting " Reminisce",1344 Pine ,  Paso Robles,Ca., wishing that I could be a part of a little village of shops under one roof.  I had been told by the owner that I should always check back at the beginning of the year because sometimes there will be movement in the shop. Because there is such a long waiting list , my hopes to get a spot seemed slim.  But....the other day , I made a call to check in with Jeannie and she said "You should come up and get the application filled out".  It just so happened when I  popped in there was a little  wall space  available, I was in the right place at the right time.  I was ready and here it is! 

I know , it's just a small space on the wall!  How am I going to fit much of anything there I am thinking, but I want to go for it!  I have been waiting sooo long.  It would be a foot in the door. Right?   :)

I went right home set up a display, measured it all out was back two days later to get it set up.  When I walked in the door I was greeted by Vicki who had given me the tour a few days earlier.  She said hold on for a few, because Jeannie wanted to talk to me about something.  I am thinking oh my goodness!   Wonder what ????  Well soon Vickie came back in and said Jeannie wanted to offer me a actual booth space. How cool!  I had to make a decision on the spot, because as I said earlier, I know there is a long waiting list. Well  you know I decided to go for it and it is perfect! I had no idea this would happen that day, so it was meant to be. Thank-you Lord!  

Off to the paint store to gather up a can of paint and some brushes. A few hours later it looked like this.  I was so excited I forgot to take a before picture.  I don't live real close so I didn't run home to get a thing. I had all this stuff in my car so I would have plenty to work with on the wall. ;)  Thank goodness I brought some extras.  

The awesome pink and brown dresser was left there for pick-up by customer by previous dealer April from" Revamped" is in the adjoining booth. From what I can see, April is a very talented young lady & has a great eye for color. She will keep me on my toes being her neighbor.

So here is my sunny new location in Reminisce & I can't wait to get back there and unload my car!  I have it all packed to the brim with more color and little treasures to fill in the blanks.  I have visions of  returning to my passion for the colors of the french countryside. I will keep you posted on the changes I will be making in both of my little niches. Hope you enjoyed getting a sneak peek at what I have been up to in my spare time! Come for a  visit  soon & who knows I may catch you there! ;0 

Pretty Fun!

So long for now...
