Fall Harvest

By

I’m having a bit of a hard time believing it’s just about November and time to harvest up the last of the garden! We’ve had a couple of amazing weather days and now the cold and frosty air is here surely to stay. Time for lots of tea, crock pot cooking, and baking yummy treats! I already have leek soup in the crock pot this morning to get the season going!

Peppers, eggplant, swiss chard, kale, and a super cute mini cabbage! Plus I had a pile of leeks and celery and more kale!

Here it is, October 2012 Color of the Month! Very fall festive with shades of orange.

Fave items: the vintage kitchen towel with fireplace, brand spankin new vintage roaster pan with label, phone, and the awesome mid century stacking canisters!

Just hints of orange here. Sweet little Mr. Pumpkin sets the fall tone with melmac plates and vintage glasses. Plus vintage napkins go dual action with one acting like a placemat!

I was just browsing through the most recent issue of Country Living Magazine and on page 70 I spotted a pic of my stuffies and squillow pillows in a great spot on the hippest indie craft fairs around! It’s pretty awesome to be featured! Thanks Country Living and Thanks Art Vs. Craft!  AND this is a great reminder to support independent designers and makers this holiday season!

artgoodies sighting!

It’s not easy to keep track of where artgoodies shows up.  Sometimes I know about things and sometimes not. I’m so happy when friends or fans mention the sightings to me- so keep up the good work! I know I’ve missed some but I like to keep a binder of all the magazine press. Here’s an unusual sighting that a dear friend, with a super keen eye, let me know about. Seems that artgoodies prints are helping style this room in a Kmart ad for Country Living quilts. I’m really flattered, thank you! I also just feels a little surreal. I’m like what are you guys doing in a Kmart ad? I’m so used to seeing my work in the studio and being up close to it that seeing it out and about in the world like this is really something!

My owl, squirrel, and wood thrush linocut prints on hosho Japanese paper. I'll have to put some paper prints in my shop!

color of the month-Cool Blue

It’s so beautiful out, starting to cool a bit, it has me wishing I could take a couple days off and head to the cottage.  Thinking of all this inspired this month’s color of the month!

Fave items-Hazel Atlas childs mug, swanky swigs-top shelf, the minced onion spice jar-2nd shelf, and the faux embroidered light terry towel.

My artgoodies sailboat towel and this vintage anchor tray do the trick for cottage decor! This colorful vintage tablecloth adds some serious pop! Paired with blue edge striped napkins, my usual vintage Twin Star silverware and a couple of my Swiss Chalet glasses. Oh and don't forget this great pair of melmac plates!

Saturday Salsa!

It’s that time of year again! I took some time this morning and jetted off to the farmers market to grab all the fresh goodies to whip up the annual batch of green tomato-less salsa!

Cilantro, onion, garlic, peppers: annaheim, serrano, hot banana, italian roasting, and another kind I can't remember. Also, not pictured but added a ton of tomatillos from my mom's garden, plus lemon and lime juice.

All mixed up in a big ole blender I'll let it sit in the fridge for a few days so it can blend all together before I freeze it up. Nice and spicy to use during the colder months in recipes and for straight up chips n salsa!

Sometimes you’re a No Show.

Dear friends and fans,
artgoodies will NOT be at the Renegade Fair in Chicago this weekend, nor at The Country Living Fair in OH or GA this year. I will miss seeing all of you but just couldn’t take the time out of the studio for travel and shows this year. I’m so very thankful to be this busy but it means some things have to get crossed off the list. You can still find artgoodies and vintagegoodies items online of course! AND like me on Facebook here or follow me on Twitter here for secret Sales! Hope to see you next year!
xoxo

What a summer here at artgoodies. SO busy! And there have been so many red hot sales happenin! Just this last week another event with Joss & Main, the One Kings Lane event and launch is happening NOW, and see the previous post for the deal you can get with Abe’s Market! So naturally, I thought Red would make a great color of the month!

Fave pieces, my grandma's tea canister of course. And really all of the super kitschy mugs! Annchored by a vintage tea towel, also check out those Chicago salt and p's!

I love this bold and fantastic vintage tablecloth. A great way to make a statement with color! Check out the vintage red lantern glasses, speckled melmac plates, and red stripe napkins with my usual vintage twin star silverware. Plus the look isn't complete without an artgoodies bike towel!
