Earth Angel


in honor of my best friend Alissa's beautiful artwork
Last Friday's Project Dress Up
 was inspired by her organic, nature inspired series


Each piece is a unique compilation of vintage paper finding
coffee rings, stencil work, and Alissa's beautiful drawings 
inspired by organic life found in the Great North West.





Dratt, that little branch is trying to get it's big de-bough
in front of my favorite shots

Jimmy surprised me with our new camera this week!
It's the Canon Rebel T1I
It's sooooooo amazing!
It's a combined Birthday gift for the both of us.
My birthday next month and Jimmy's TODAY!
Happy Birthday Sweetie!


Just a few of my favorite pieces in Allisa's ever growing 
collection of beautiful artwork.
It's such a pleasure to watch her grow as an artist
While our styles are very different 
we both really respect each others input
and help support each other in any way we can.
I hope you will all enjoy her work as much as I.
And if you have a second, give her a shout out. 
It's always nice to hear a kind word
and a note of encouragement.
I know that your support and enthusiasm 
has helped me grow as an artist and a person!
THANKS!

Have a great happy health week!

You look absolutely and positively breathtakingly STUNNING!
The dress is so elegant and the way the skirt puffs out... I love the red shoes and birds nest fascinator, and the collar, just divine!
I have to say this is one of my favourite outfits you have ever worn, and there are so many beautiful ones! xox

Your dress is so sweet and I love the crinoline slip. Used to wear them as a little girl and they make you feel like a princess! Alissia does lovely work, her colors really appeal to me.
Chelsea Ann drop me a note with your email so we can chat. I would love to be of assistance. I cannot find your email~ ~Ahrisha~ ~
