Looking for something no one else has?
Brand spanking new! Sparkling glass, shiny silver,
unique beading - this is where vintage and modern collide.
By the way look closely...do you see the high heels, or the bicycle?
How about the joker or the giraffe? I can create something special for you too!

Psssst! Do you have a minute?
I need my sweet friends!
Hello to all!
I'm in the running to be named the 2013 American Made Audience Choice Award Winner.
American Made is a movement founded by Martha Stewart that spotlights the maker, supports the local, and celebrates the handmade. It’s made up of people and communities who have turned their passion for quality craftsmanship and well-designed goods into a way of life.
To win would mean $10,000 to support my business and a trip to New York for the annual American Made Talks and Workshops. Will you vote for me?
www.marthastewart.com/americanmade/nominee/81667
The winner is determined by the number of votes he or she gets and you can vote up to six times each day! So please come back and vote daily!
I am asking that you help me reach my goal of winning this year with your vote.
Please share with your friends also.
Jumping up and down and waving!
Thank you for your consideration.
Laura.

Greenville's Anthropologie!
Greenville has a new store, well sort of...
.
 |
ANTHROPOLOGIE Downtown Greenville Main and Washington Block 1 Greenville, SC 29601 (864) 242-4553 |
I could not be prouder of our new ANTHROPOLOGIE in downtown Greenville, SC. Take a closer
look at the photos above that I captured while shopping right after their grand opening. Notice the peach tree and the orange dress. I loved this gesture since we are noted for our peaches in the area. Another thing that I was impressed with is their lighting. Maybe I am crazy but this is some of the best display lighting I have ever seen. It looks like the real sun coming through!
Did you know they also use local artists artwork, and local antique stores to shop for display items?
"Fine Arts Center student Sierra Snipes' design concept and proposal was chosen and accepted for the 20 feet wide by 8 feet tall mural project. The completed artwork will stand until construction of the store and plaza is completed; afterward the mural will be deconstructed
for inclusion in the store's interior displays."
So go ahead, take a look in the our new ANTHROPOLOGIE and
I promise you will not come out empty handed,
from cookbooks to door knobs, and clothing to candles they have it all.
Enjoy Yourself!

Don't forget your special gal-
Thought I would share one of my new mosaic pendants.
The color pink is so sweet and to make it into a pendant with pearl makes it even more special.
Don't forget your mom or a special someone May 12th.
Enjoy your day!

Custom Mosaic Brand
Today I am very stoked (as they say) to share with you my latest
custom mosaic commission.
I had mentioned the project when I first started back in the fall,
so now I want to share the end results. This is my favorite part.
so now I want to share the end results. This is my favorite part.
The clients are organic beef ranchers, thus the name, in Texas.
The project was designed and created in my Greenville, SC
studio and then shipped to her in Texas, to make a long story short.
There it was installed by tile professionals and now you see the beautiful results.
I must say I would love to have one in my home!

It's color that makes me happy-
I was looking in Hobby Lobby yesterday for material to make a banner.
I found exactly what I was looking for and then...
I found exactly what I was looking for and then...
out of the corner of my eye I spotted this delicious fabric. Look at those rich colors!
I could just swim in that. One thing I don't see are the teals.
You know I gotta have my teals or turquoise!
What are you favorite color schemes right now?
Enjoy today!

Gyspy's Stage Line
Just how cute is this little Gypsy Stage Line?
My husband and I were out Sunday afternoon for our routine
errands and saw this little stage coach
located behind Bucky's BBQ in Greenville.
I couldn't help myself it's adorable! If you
have a chance go by there and see all the
other things that are out there really fun.
Enjoy today!

Hey those are my Eggs!
I hope you and your family enjoy your Easter Day!
That is me and my cousin. I think I was five.
My brother and other boy cousin had just busted all my
Easter eggs on that tree behind us. I was so mad!
See the little pool thing in the back, that is a fish
pond. So cool.
Enjoy your DAY!

My Groovin' Styleboard
This is my third week homework in Holly Becker's Blog Boss e-course. It took me much longer to design than I ever thought. I have been a member of Polyvore for two years but haven't given it much time. I kept getting frusterated. Now I love it! My goal is to start offering more styleboards so that you can see how to wear mosaic jewelry that's handcreated in Greenville, SC and other creative desigin ideas. I am so excited!

I am so excited to share that new changes are on the way here in the studio blog. What is it about spring that makes you want to fluff your nest. My family just moved into a new home and its got me wanting to change everything! I guess my studio blog is no different. Little by little I hope to create a nice place to stop in and enjoy what makes an eclectic life even more interesting.
