State of the Studio: December Update


01.
CREATIVE SPARKS

- Christmas at a Berkshire flower farm (and the talented woman behind it). 
 
- Season two of this cozy Irish murder mystery is out and I am, yet again, invested.
 
- This book is on my Christmas list.
 
- Made this recipe last week and already want it again. Perfect for having friends over on a wintry night.
 
- Wicked's production designer sharing how he designed the extensive, immersive sets.
 
- I planned to buy one of these blankets (the coziest!!) during their sale last week but ended up getting 3 instead. Oops.
 
- Ever since I learned about Henry Ossawa Tanner several ago, I gravitate toward his paintings during the Advent season.

HAPPENINGS

 

REMINDER;
The shop closes for the holidays on Friday, December 13. All orders placed after that will ship in 2025.

And, as always…
 
- If you're looking for larger paintings, check out what's in stock at the wonderful galleries I work with: Anne Irwin Fine Art | Bee Street Gallery | The Willard Gallery
 
-Do you have a friend who likes art, design, books, podcasts, gardens, etc etc etc? Invite them over! Forward them this email and share the love.

SOMETHING GOOD


"And ye, beneath life's crushing load,
whose forms are bending low,
who toil along the climbing way
with painful steps and slow,
look now! for glad and golden hours
come swiftly on the wing.
O rest beside the weary road,
and hear the angels sing!

― Edmund H. Sears, It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

 

Until Next Time,
