I still get butterflies just typing out those words! I’m thrilled to share that my New York City inspired notepads and stickers are on their way to all five Anthropologie stores in Manhattan! Back when I first officially launched my illustration business in 2015, it was a dream of mine to have my illustrated products in a store that I’ve long admired.

With my new art print collection launching in May, I wanted to add some pizazz to my listing photos by featuring them in fun new frames. I love how playful the bobbin style frames are and thought they’d be perfect for the new Favorite Things and updated alphabet prints. Awhile ago, one of my favorite interior design content creators, Alisa from A Glass of Bovino, created this DIY blog post all about how to make your own bobbin frame from scratch.

These art prints are equally beautiful framed straight to the edge as they are framed with an added mat. Let’s walk through a few options of frames and mats to give you some inspiration…

Painting these little jewels is one of the creative highlights of my year. This is the third year of hand-painting ceramic bisque eggs to celebrate the spring season and I’m delighted to share a bit more about how this year’s collection came to be… I’ve been on a bit of a vintage plate kick as of late and have loved incorporating plates as artwork in our home. While scouring Etsy for pretty ones (there are so many great vintage shops on Etsy), I came across this shop and these antique bread and butter plates.

The Heirloom Egg & Plate Collection launched nearly two weeks ago and I’ve had the honor of sending so many hand painted beauties off to their forever homes. While these one-of-a-kind decorative plates and eggs make beautiful Easter decor, they are also lovely to keep up throughout the spring and even year round. My Mom has kept hers displayed on the nightstand since she received it so she can see it every morning. 🥰
