"Amor Vincit Omnia" (Love Conquers All)




Once in a while, I get inspired to do something completely alien to what I usually create. So here is "Love Conquers All" or " Amor Vincit Omnia". Let's hope it's true!

World's Longest Yard Sale 2009!

This is our second year attending the "World's Longest Yard Sale" that starts in Gadsden, Alabama and meanders through route 127 all the way up to Ohio! Over 700 miles of stuff! We only made it as far as Dunlap, Tennessee this year since our rental minivan was completely full by day three! I have posted a very small sampling of the amazing stuff we found on our trip!
Love these clocks and the 50's spice rack!
I found this beautiful 1950's Royal Song Celeste China for $12!
These BAD ASS lamp shades fit a BAD ASS lamp I found on day 2 in Tennessee for $30!
The find of the trip for me was this perfect fiberglass lamp shade and lamp each found in different place for soooooooo cheap!
More lamps, pottery, jewelry, 50's hats, canisters, a Lane dovetail coffee table, a danish modern cherry bar, a huge starburst clock, and the list goes on and on!
We also found this AMAZING danish modern vanity bench, a gorgeous radio for Jeffrey to restore (we founds lots of little radios,too) and this little 50's fan in perfect working condition!
We actually came home with money again this year! I think we will have to rent a full size van next year!
Anyone else attend this years' sale? What did you find?

Sew Awesome!






Several years ago, I licensed some my work to Hancock Fabrics. They produced 10 different designs with my cats, ladies, TVs and radio patterns. I have been collecting images of what people have made with it and I am blown away by the TALENT of these artists! I can sew a little, but I don't have the skills to make anything but a curtain or a simple pillow. I am currently looking to license my newer work for more fabric!

Who's for Dinner?

"Who's for Dinner"
16x20 Acrylic on Canvas
I've had this oval canvas hanging in my studio for YEARS! I was sketching a few months ago and I came up with this one... my shifty little owl is trying to decide what to hunt for today. Living in South Louisiana, I have seen nature at it's purest, including birds of prey snatching up cute little animals on a daily basis! It's quite gross I must say. Large birds would circle my yard when puppy Penny would go out to do her business!
So here we have "Who's for Dinner" and it is available in my Etsy Shop and in my gallery space at Aladdin's Lamp here in BR.
