housewarming

What advice would you give to someone looking to own a home?  There is something fun about giving tips to a new home buyer or even hosting a housewarming party for a new home owner.

I guess I have always obsessed over homes which is why I love to illustrate them so much.  In the early evenings, I love to walk and see the glow of lights, the sign of life in homes.  I imagine the soul of the house finding comfort from it's inhabitants.

What would be or what was on your list for your home?  A fireplace, a garage, high ceilings?  Would you want a dead end street?  What sort of amenities would you need?  Would raking leaves appeal to you?

I think this image of the home above conjures up all of the best things that I love about Autumn and coming home.  Take a look over here, sweet-tea-and-crunched-leaves.  Coming home to a warm fire, a pot of tea.  Wishing each of you a happy home-coming.  I hope everyone finds warmth and the joy in their home, especially this time of year.

more wonderful

I am off to the Jess LC business with intention workshop today.

But before I skip out then door, just wanted to share this...

...more wonderful....sending off this work of art today.

these are the wonderful words of my client.

"I do love it! I can't believe it, but it's even more wonderful than I imagined. Thank you so much, I honestly could not be happier."


Look closely and spot the faithful compadres sitting on the steps.
More wonderful, are they not the sweetest?

first home

If you are like me, there is something nostalgic about first homes. This illustration was part of a give-away and the winner wanted an illustration for a family member of their first home. I am living in my first home and my parents are living in the first home they built.

Are you living in your first home? Does your first home need a little honor and dedication?

Why not celebrate your number one home!

Does your home need a gift?

What would you give your first home?
