Stepping into a dream...

I really did....

When I was at the Atlanta Merchandise Mart last week

(yes, I only went one afternoon)

I know, I'm lame.....

but there were many wonderful reps in our showroom

to sell our wares and I have to say,

our son Brent is a NATURAL

at selling so he went on through the weekend.

But I did go in Thursday and my one goal of the day

was to visit Peacock Park Design's showroom!!!

Gina's gorgeous studio was featured in Where Women Create

and I've been drooling over her website and blog for a while now ~

I've snagged a few photos from her blog

that I just have to share with you:

Can you believe this ribbon Gina designed??????

A glimpse inside the showroom ~

These are all photos from Gina's blog as it is a BIG no-no

to take photos at the mart....

Beautiful, old antiques have been replicated....

they just take my breath away!

Don't you just love her taste???

And guess what came in the mail this past weekend?????

Pam Carricker's new book

Art at The Speed of Life!!!!

 She was so kind to ask me to contribute a few pieces of artwork too!!

Here are a few glimpses inside :)

I wrote a little about blogging (surprise, surprise!)

and how much I love it ~

my heart artwork is featured on this page...

I'm sure you'll recognize a couple of my other pieces below as well ~

Pam did such an AMAZING job on this book...I think you are going to love it too!!

There are wonderful techniques shared and so much great advice on

how to fit creating art into your busy life.

I'm so honored to be included with all of the other artists inside...

thank you very much Pam!!!

Wishing you a wonderful Monday dear friends!!!

hugs and love,

Dawn
