I've been inspired:(Ma+Chr)

This french duo is so great. They have a grasp on interesting collage that I only dream to have! They also have a passion for interior design !They make me want to frame multiple eyes and buy wooden trays and get assemblages started!
Now to take out those dozens of books I've been hoarding and get to it! Who inspires you today?

Tough dudes!

My friend Andrea Sanders is pretty much one of the neatest ladies around! She never suprises me! So of course it came no suprise to me that this new work of hers is tops!
According to her etsy page: I have 14 sheets of 6 x 6 inch premium cold-press (smooth like a babies bum) watercolor paper and it will all be squelched on portraits of tough dudes.

So begin this Tough Dude Tour with likes of Mister Macho Man himself. So this guy is painted with watercolor, outlined in pencil, a touch o' micro-pen and painted under the guise of a really bad 80's movie about the future while I am in Portland between the hours of 12am and 6am.

There is all she wrote folks.


The now departed Macho Man Randy Savage is her first conquest! I wonder what the rest of this project holds! She plans on doing 5 of these dudes a week!

You can find this bad boy here. And if you are lucky you might be able to the other 13 to go along with him!

We love stuffed creatures!





We started our journey as the owners of various cute toys with these two buddies! We found them in a thrift store in Milledgeville,Georgia. This pair was fated to be together because we only purchased the blue guy (Bun-Bun) to begin with! 6 months later we spot that brown feller (Bear Bun) again in the same shop! So began our quest to find the oddest and cutest things! I think you'll agree we have some special friends!

My partner in crime is my cutest of cute husband Andy!



So here goes! I hope you like the stuff and the blog! I'll be sure to show you all the newest treasures I find, recipes and also little peeks into our little house! It's basically a charity shop museum! ENJOY!
