About 3 weeks ago I met my friend Lisa Mowry OTP. For those of you NOT from Atlanta that means "outside the perimeter".....which for me is about a 30 minute drive.
Well worth it for some lunch and good company! Now some of you who have been reading my blog for a while might already know this, but Lisa is an editor for many magazines such as Better Homes & Gardens, Traditional Home, Southern Living, and all of the Meridith Special Interest publications.
I did a post on "how to get published" here where I interviewed Lisa. You might want to take a look....if that is something you might be interested in......:)
Anyway...back to our day in Marietta.
Good stuff....
I would kill for one of these.....by Sue Freda. I love how organic it is....she works from a spool of wire.
OK...for some reason...I am a crappy note taker I don't have all of the names of the artist to go with the art. I don't want to put the wrong name on something.
Here are a few of the pieces I photographed. Please go to the website to see all of the talented artist that Donna represents.
Can I have? I need a little orange in my life.
Love the gray backgound of this one.
Trust me....it is worth the drive.
They did have this bowl of cute little watercolors. More along the size of my budget right now....just sayin.
I decided to really splurge...... It wasn't a throw down or anything but for $25.00 it was doable.
My masterpiece.
Took myself over to Target...not that I needed an excuse to go THERE.
Got a frame and of course the mats were ALL too big.
Why......can't something just fit once and a while and be easy huh?
So I just painted a piece of cardboard with some leftover paint. I know...crazy complicated DIY.
Good enough.
BAM. Done.
The gallery wall is growing. Hey...can you have 2 gallery walls in your house? You know in separate rooms? I am just asking.
And another thing....did you hear that Nate Berkus is doing a collection for Target?!? Does anyone remember about 8 years ago when he did one for Linens and Things....that shit flew out of the stores.
Target Debuts Exclusive Home Collection from Nate Berkus
MINNEAPOLIS (May 03, 2016) —
Target® Corp. (NYSE: TGT) today announced a new home collection with award-winning and renowned designer Nate Berkus. The Nate Berkus Collection, sold exclusively at Target, will debut in Target stores and at Target.com on Oct. 21, 2016. The new signature home collection will launch with items including bedding, bath, accessories, lighting, rugs and window treatments.
I bet this will make the Mossimo collection for Target
seem like small potatoes.
Ya think?
That might have been the beginning of my "buying just so no one else get's it" phase.
Enjoy the tiny weekend.
