My newest venture

Thought I would jump on the ACEO bandwagon a little more and offer prints of my original photography and watercolors in miniature form. For those of you who don't know...an ACEO is a 2 1/2" by 3 1/2" piece of artwork. They are like the trading cards of the art world. Very small and very affordable. So please visit my two shops for your chance to own a teeny, tiny yankeegirl ACEO!!

My friend Mary from Colorless Green Ideas has bestowed upon me the Kreativ Blogger Award and I couldn't be happier!! Being new to this whole blogging thing, I was quite surprised but honored that she felt my little blog is award-worthy!! I write about things I love and what matters to me and to think that others are interested in what I have to say, well.....I'm thrilled!! Thanks, Mary!! Off to hand out some awards of my own....hmmmm...who shall I pick.

Wordless Wednesday

Finally bought an orchid!!

I went to an orchid show this morning with the intention of taking some photos and just enjoying the beauty of these flowers on this cold winters day. OK, not so cold...it's suppose to hit almost 60 today but it is February!! I wandered around taking some great captures and inhaling the wonderful smells that were in that greenhouse and then I saw it...this gorgeous miniature orchid that had to be mine!!! I've always wanted an orchid but always heard they were hard to grow, expensive, my cats would eat them, etc. The woman who was selling it explained to me what I needed to know about growing orchids (not so hard), it wasn't all that expensive (after all it IS a miniature!!) and I could put it somewhere the cats can't get to it!! Sooooo, this little beauty is now in the living room, on the desk near the front door looking very happy!! Enjoy!

Artwork from both sides of the lens

I recently opened up a new shop on 1000Markets where my emphasis will be, at least for the time being, my photography. It's been so easy to post new listings there and I've had fun going through my older photos to see what I can sell (hopefully!!).

I have joined a few markets such as Image Captured and Garden State Artisans (yes, I'm from Jersey!!) and with Melanie from The Creators Palette I hope to be one of the founding Merchants in a new market called Emerging Artists Fine Art Gallery.

I'm looking forward to seeing where this new venture leads and it will be fun to be in on the ground floor in both this new artisan website and our new market!!

I hope you stop by my new shop and tell me what you think!!
