2 more NEW pillows! These NEW sturdy and stylish pillows are made from my exclusive artgoodies designer cotton twill fabric and gray canvas backs. Don’t these just scream summer! I can see them on a sunny porch, sipping some lemonade, and enjoying the breeze. Doesn’t that sound amazing! Temps are finally above the frigid freezing cold mark here in MI and it feels downright balmy! Check out all the NEW pillows here!        

If you’re a friend or a fan you probably already know how much I love a beach vacation. The kind that involves meandering around state parks, antique shops, and investigating shells and all the amazing creatures that wash up on shore. I’ve explored hundreds of miles of coastline, particularly in Florida. The only area that I really haven’t been to is The Everglades National Park. Yep, that’s a lot of Florida coast. Sanibel Island still remains one of my favorite places. The beaches look like dump trucks backed up and poured out shells there are so many. And the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge is an extraordinary place to do some bird watching. I pretty much wish I was there right now freeing myself from this frigid cold. Anyway, I created some shell tea towels last year in honor of these times, and once again I felt compelled to bring you another beachy nautical product with a couple of these NEW 16×16 pillows! Available here in coastal coral and nautical navy! Perfect for your home, cottage, or if you’re just feeling shell-shocked by the brutally cold winter like me.  

It’s nice to get some local press! Check out artgoodies all over pattern organic heart tea towel in MI’s Revue Magazine, page 44, February Issue.            

I think a lot about the idea of home.  There are so many ideas and thoughts and behaviors surrounding each “home”, I could go on for days. Instead of rambling about all that, I offer you artgoodies Brand NEW house tea towel! Plus, my green thumb has been twiddling away waiting for this new plant design. I once heard you should never trust a person who doesn’t have any houseplants, ponder that.  

The first magazine press of the new year is rolling in! It’s such an honor to be recognized continually for my work, thank you-thank you-THANK YOU!! Check out my artgoodies pie stuffie mini pillow on page 50 of Romantic Homes Magazine Southern Issue March 2015!

Here’s the deal. I’m in a holidaze. I’ve been busting butt over at artgoodies and vintagegoodies HQ. You know those elves that Santa has working for him, yeah, like everyone else he outsourced from the North Pole. So, now I’m down in my studio, waking up in the middle of the night, and then again at 4:30 and 5 am navigating all the wonders of the online world so you can have a nice holiday and get all your goodies on time. As usual, doing all this while attending and throwing holiday parties and trying to spend time with family and friends. While I’m SO thankful for all you lovely customers, I’m ready for a break, you have no idea how much I’m looking forward to the New Year!
