A lovely time....

The boys and I headed off to our favorite spot...... a tag sale! I love that they love flea markets as much as I do.

I left with yet another letter. It was a big silver metal N . I also found a great hand carved from dark wood . Although the hand was not vintage..... it was unique and I had to have it.

Talk to you soon,

Courtney

My son was sooo proud of his paper flower. He gave it to me early ( it was his mothers day present from school). He promised that he would make me an entire bouquet by Sunday.

Talk to you soon,

What stinks????

None other than Stink himself! If you are not familiar with this character..... he is the subject of many adventures . He is also brother to Judy Moody. My kids love his books.


For our schools "star spangled celebration", the staff had to pick a book and decorate the bag for an auction. I chose "Stink and The Worlds Worst Super Stinky Sneakers".



I enjoyed doing it , so lets hope it gets lots of bids!

Talk to you soon,

Talk to you soon,

Lets get acquainted......

Part of my job as an artist is to invite you into my world. I struggle with this.... I like to be somewhat anonymous. I do realize I must try , so here are a few things about me......

1. I have long , straight , dark hair that is in a ponytail most days.
2. I will be 40 this year!!!!! Yikes!
3. I was a mod/goth/punk/funky gal back in the day.
4. I believe that I was a fisherman in another life that tragically drown and that explains my
deep rooted fear of open water in contrast with my love of living by the sea and obsession
with fish ( whew! ).
5. I associate all numbers with colors or rather I see colors when I look at numbers ( make
sense?)
6. I once wanted to be friends with Molly Ringwald .
7. I still love watching 16 candles and pretty in pink!
8. I love music and wish I could sing ( I can not carry a tune to save my life).
9. I miss my mother everyday .
10. I would love to be a writer .
11. I would describe myself as simple yet I am very complicated.
12. I fear awkward silences and talk to fill them ( annoying I know!)
13. I have many quirky nuances and could be diagnosed with OCD
14. I wear a single silver band on my finger and pearl earrings
15. I wear a lot of black
16. A girl can never have too many jackets.
17. I love scarfs in any season
18. I wear glasses equally on , as off.
19. My greatest achievement is my beautiful boys!!!
20. I embrace my truth as flawed as it may be.


Nice to meet you!!!

Courtney
