Inspiration

Sometimes I use photos of my Mom in my artwork.
I think she was so beautiful. She is no longer physically
with me but is always with me in spirit.
She always wore Red lipstick and even though I never
consciously planned it, I think that's why most of my
characters have red lips. I think some even have her
smile..............

Nice Surprise!

Wow, one of my sweet customers called me yesterday and told me my work was in the new
Somerset Life magazine. I was a bit skeptical since I hadn't known about it. But.....after I closed the shop I went directly to Barnes and Nobel- and low and behold....there it was!!! It was included in the wonderful piece about Glitterfest, which by the way, is coming up soon on March 19. I am very excited as always, to be able to participate in this fantastic, feast-for-the-eyes, event!
Yummy, Yummy, Eye Candy from start to finish......Can't wait to see my fellow Glitterfest Gals again!!

PRESS!

I'm discovered! ha ha. The local newspaper came out Tuesday and did and interview with me. I didn't know when it was going to be published and so I was tickled to see it in the paper today. Who knows people may be asking for my autograph soon........I may have to come out of my shell yet!!

A Commercial!

I got roped into doing commercial for the shop ( The Shabby Red Door, 826 W. Gurley St. Prescott, Arizona) . I went into it kicking and screaming, because as some of you may know, promoting myself is not something that comes easy for me.
I think it came out pretty good though and I am happy that with their editing I'm only in the shot at the end.
Gotta do what you gotta do...I suppose.
Hope you are all having a lovely Thanksgiving. Don't forget to count your blessings!
Happy Day,
Susie

So Thankful!

I'm so thankful for this shop and that Don and I have the ability to live here as well.
To live, and have my studio and the shop all together is quite a blessing. I know I take it for granted, but when I make the time to think about it......I am so grateful......

I'm sorry (I'm always saying that), I know I said I would upload pictures of the shop awhile back. And now here it is, what .....weeks later?!
I like this photo of the outside. It was a pretty evening and the sky was all pink and glowing.
I wish I would have gotten a better shot of it. It was gone so quickly!!

I won't promise this time but, photos of the inside and my latest work will come......

All I can say is thanks for your patience.

Have a Blessed and very Happy Thanksgiving

Susie

Glitterfest ....Right Around The Corner!!

Well...........what can I say? Obviously allot of time has gone by since my last post. I have been out of the loop...for sure. After many long delays due to illness and a multitude of other small "bumps" in the road I finally have my shop open!!! , a shop that has literally ( and I mean, literally,) been pulled out of thin air. However, I can't take the credit. I have had Divine power helping me. I know it! Anyway, will post pics later today or tomorrow. In the meantime.....Glitterfest is coming October 2nd (Click on pic for details). Hope to see you there! Need to go for now....Working on new goodies to take.

Happy Easter!

More Snow and Rain in the Forcast..... Yay?

Looking out one of the front windows of the shop

A view out of the back window and the little hallway where the water is seeping in

Normally I love the snow, but......
Here are a couple of pics I took yesterday. Not that great. It doesn't really give a good representation of how much it was really snowing and a blowing. A regular little blizzard we were having!
I also tried to get a shot of my attempt to mop up the flood waters. Landlord was here....he's kind of stumped on how the water is leaking in, but promised he would take care of it when the sun comes back. In the mean time, I'm running out of towels!!


Oh, thought I would throw in a pic of a little angel ornament I made from one of my drawings.
Kind of a reminder to myself that there are angels amongst us. Mustn't forget...........

A Minor Disaster?!

Well...........The long and the short of it is, that, I left the heater in the shop on full blast and then we were gone for a day. When we got home late that night I kept thinking the house (we live upstairs) was warmer that it should have been since it was still rather cold outside and the heater in the house wasn't on. Anyway, I decided to go down and check the store and.....it was pretty much like a SAUNA!
Not too cool when you have candles. The good side is, I don't have all of the candles out in the store yet as I am still not open (keep having "bumps" in the road). NOW today I am having a small flooding problem. Yesterday it rained and snowed all day.....and now it is seeping in (AGAIN) in the back of the shop. Landlord on his way.........
This will pass, right? And I will eventually have a lovely shop and Galerie!

Making Progress.....

View Looking back into shop from the front door

Shelf with some of the things I have been unpacking. Just kind of placed things haphazard at the moment. Will finesse later.

Table in front middle of shop with some spring items that may go here. We'll see

I have finally been able to put some full days in, working in the shop and I'm really making some progress! The shop is starting to take shape! Yay! Still have so much to do, but I am feeling rather optimistic today and am getting excited about opening. The pictures aren't that great right now. I've been taking them from my cell phone. Will get some better shots soon..........

Bye for now from one rather tired girlie,
Susie
