Summer...

This acrylic painting by Beth Crews Rommel gets me thinking about summer. Tomorrow is the last day of school for my girls! A welcome change in routine. Staying up late. Sleeping in. Board games. Swimming. Sno-cones. Reading. Relaxing. Going to the beach...

Angel of Hope
I love these mixed media collages by Krista J. Brock. Her pieces feature a kaleidoscope of textures, mediums, and words. They are also inspired by love, life, and faith and often contain beautiful, encouraging words of scripture. This piece, Angel of Hope, is my personal favorite! I think it would make such a thoughtful gift for a friend facing a challenge.

Meet Andrea Kalis...
Andrea Kalis, a native of Orlando, is an artist, art history professor, and former museum curator who loves the arts of Mexico and other world cultures. For Artistree she designs wearable fiber art pieces like this adorable little floral purse!

Upcycled Flowers
If you've ever been in our store, you can't miss the vibrant, colorful flower arrangements. These fun flowers will brighten up any room and would even look great on your front porch! Eco-friendly artists Erin Black and Di St. Jacques-Blue of Green Art Studios create these glass inspired sculptures from recycled plastic bottles and waste paint.

New Artist!
I am so in love with these new recycled metal sculptures! Jim Lakey and his wife/business partner, Sylvia, make these whimsical sculptures from found, recycled materials. This cute little guy is part of the Rana Men Series, practicing a flawless Yoga Tree Pose! There are many to choose from, all equally adorable.

Great Graduation Gift Idea...
This totally-retro, totally-cool vintage radio is actually an iPod speaker! I purchased one of these fabulous refurbished vintage radios for my daughter this past Christmas. It is such a unique gift! Danielle Martin hunts down these treasured oldies, takes them apart, cleans them, and then magically turns them into hip iPod speakers. The store has quite a collection, so stop in soon to take a look!
