Treats & Tales {+ New Prints}

Heloooo there!  I meant to be here yesterday.  I think I am having a timing glitch.  Time seems to be passing by faster than ever.  Anyone else experiencing the same thing?  Maybe it is because I am packing my days full of things?  I have been painting cabinets (huge successful endeavor I am thrilled about), and changing this and that.  Which led me on a small journey….

You see, I was craving a sweet, cozy piece of art for my wall…

I couldn't find the perfect thing, and then I had this moment, where I realized that my painting "Patisserie" which I painted, and went to a lovely home ages ago, was never turned into a print.  I had it professionally scanned, and simply forgot.

I tell ya, my brain is so full, it is bursting at the seams.

Can a brain get too full?

I expunge so many things all the time.  Odd.  Strange feeling.

Anyhow, Patisserie was found, and turned into a print.

I am so excited, as this piece with the pink skies and magical cypress grove in the background peeking in, plus pastry shop, makes my heart ever so happy.

I would love to jump in.

Oh oh, and on that note….

Camille and Violetta are now in print form in my shop also…

Camille and Midnight Tea

 

Violetta and the Tiny Tea Set

 

I also added a brand new section to my shop, called "Extra Large Prints."

Which means these pieces are not only available in 8" x 10" – but also in 11" x 14"

That is exciting news around here.

🙂

Of course all of this sweet talk, has me wanting to share a special treat with you.

Pixie Dust Chocolates!

They are art, and they are edible!

You see, I did some logo work for lovely Melissa, the master mind behind these scrumptious creations.

Of course, they were beyond pretty, and I had to have some…

 

But, I never thought they would be as delicious good as they are.

That coming from a girl who never really loved chocolate.

These got me.

Mister agreed.  Really good quality.

  Aren't they so pretty?

Melissa has no idea that I am sharing these with you.  But I just had to.

I spied some extra pretty birds and eggs on her website, and I think I feel a need for some more!

I also like having these pretty treats around to offer to my guests. 

Edible art really…

So, a few good sweets every now and then are quite lovely.

I don't have a massive sweet tooth, but when I do get one, I want something nice.

Is it that I am getting older, or are store bought candy bars just not what they used to be?

The sugar is too sweet or something.

I don't like them one little bit.

Eeks.

Yep, it's an age thing.

All of a sudden I like things I always hated.

Like good mustard.

I used to tell people that I was so allergic to mustard, that I might die if they fed it to me, just because I hated it so much.

And now I sorta like it.

Go figure?

By the way…….

On an unrelated note, look at how big my baby of 6 months is!!

Matty was seated next to Miles, but he ran out just as I snapped the shot. Rascal!

So, it's Miles, solo.

Can I just tell you…

His hugs are magically delicious.

I mean really.

Soft and yumms.

Is it okay to love my furry boys this much?

I mean, it's like beyond love.

Indescribable love.

Burst my heart and make me cry I love them so much, love.

L – O – V - E

I like mustard all of a sudden, I adore furry creatures beyond words, I like reading junk catalogues that sell old school random things.  Like weird gadgets and stuff.  And, I will eat all sorts of curious things.

I am becoming my grandfather I think.

🙂

And, that's all I have to say about that.

Do you all of a sudden like something you never liked before?

Okay, must be off, can't wait to hear!

See you super soon!

Love, V

 

ps:  The kindredness in that last post with you, Incredible!!!  This is why these virtual worlds are so very special, they bring us into a place where it all clicks.  Beyond awesome.

pss:  Miles is majorly whining at me to be done here, so I can give him my attention, he is so funny!  While Matty patiently waits…
