Belles collections

My friend Jack would call this "out of jurisdiction". Well technically Harpersville, Alabama is out of Birmingham,... but not far. Last Friday my friend Kimberly Wilson and I took a road trip to Black Sheep Antiques  to see my friend Barbara Atkins. I loved her place,. It is full of interesting vignettes of collectibles, that reminded me of so many charming Paris shops.  I could have stayed all day. The fact that she welcomed me with wine and cheese straws, didn't have a thing to do with that! I will share more photos from this field trip in days to come.

Color Explosion!

Oh yesterday was a very good photo day. I met my talented photographer friend Kimberly Wilson at Kevin Irwin's art studio. Kevin is a MULTI talented artist. Where to begin: ceramic artist, painter, glass blower, and jewelry maker, and it's all there in one fabulous old building. This was Kimberly's first visit but she is the proud owner of some of Kevin's pieces so she was thrilled to meet her. Kevin's a neighbor and I dearly love her and her work.

Today I feature the glass rods she uses in her bead and jewelry making. I'm including another photo of some finished pieces along with one of her whimsical cats that I dearly love. Not to worry, we'll be back!

Something To Crow About!

Meet my dear and talented friend Kimberly Wilson.  She has started a great new photography business and this past week was asked to show her work at a pop up shop at West Elm at The Summit.  Her Red Rooster Images were a huge success and rightfully so.
