Hope everyone’s holidays were wonderful – I’ve spent mine healing and being cozy! I seriously think all the well-wishes and magic energies are helping me – I’m healing so so much faster and can walk around, etc – last time I had a similar surgery, it was weeks before walking easily & feeling weak in bed. So thank you to everyone who’s sent love.
I splurged and got this original drawing by Amy Earles for myself for my birthday. It’s not here yet, but it got me thinking about how I’ve started collecting art from friends and the talented pools of the internet. I love my current house collection!
Over the entry coat nook is this encaustic painting by Kate Phillips. I love the movement and pendulum feel.
I have a few pieces by Eden Veaudry, she is one of my favorite artists. I want everyone to know about her work! It’s detailed & mesmerizing.
In the dining room is the ‘Lady Magic’ etching by Katy Horan and a silkscreen by Sanna Annukka. Witchy folklore ladies! Yes, I will redo that one last chair, some day…
Dancing bear by Nicole Boitos in the hallway.
& 3 tears by Mon Petit Fantome in the bedroom. (Today is his birthday, go say Happiest of Days!) The bedroom also has the wall of “everything else.”
& more I’ve talked about before…moving so much in the last few years I’ve amassed tiny bits here and there but havent really hung everything up! I still have a big stack that needs framing…but it’s finally starting to feel like a home around here!
Who are your favorite friend-artists, especially ones with blogs?

Wow, I love this peek into your space.
Oh man, I’ve been so busy mothering and just trying to make money the last few years that I haven’t even paid attention to such extraneous lovelies as art and home decor. This inspires me to do so though. The only pieces we have collected have come from our friend, the amazing cut paper artist Tahiti Pehrson. (www.TahitiPehrson.com)
Continue to heal and post lovely blogs dear. Love.
