Latest Addition to My Studio


I found the McCoy vase at a thrift shop recently.
I think it will be perfect for holding colored pencils and more.
It's my new favorite thing!





My little studio has become my place to dream.  I have been thinking
so much lately about enriching my life and I have decided ...






to start sketching and painting again.  I am going to paint a
shabby chic interior for my studio.  As soon as I finish it and
have it framed,  I will let you see it.  Until then ...

I am happily joining ~


It's warm and sunny outside this morning and Bentley
is having so much fun in the yard.  I love to see him so happy!

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

  2. I love the pink vase. In fact....I have talked my husband into taking me for a drive today to an antique store about 40 miles away from my place. Will be a nice day for a drive.
    If you can paint and sketch, the I say DO IT. don't let your talents go unused.

  9. I love McCoy. I like seeing your little wicker set. I had one as a child, hours of enjoyment. I planned on drawing and painting again this winter and time just keeps slipping away on me. I'm glad you are going to start sketching and painting again. Hopefully soon I will get motivated...J

  11. Hi Susan,

    Your new McCoy vase is lovely, and your new studio is just charming! I think it's a wonderful idea for you to start sketching and painting again. You're very fortunate to possess those talents; I can barely draw stick people. :)

    Happy Pink Saturday, Susan!

  16. I used to see McCoy things at sales....years ago. At the time... I didn't like them. Now, I could kick myself for passing them by. Yours is so pretty.
