From Here to There

~ The Pretties are Packed ~

As are the Gowns

Books and Art Supplies





Ribbon Galore

... Easel and Works in Progress ...


~ Beads and Trinkets ~


... Lace and Feathers ...

Farewell to this Studio!
-
Packing up an entire house and decor is one thing.
~ But add to the mix an artists studio ~
OVERWHELMING!
-
For years I worked in watercolor.
Paper and Paints
don't take up too much room.
But now that I've forayed into mixed media,
collage, designing miniature theatres,
faux cakes and cake toppers
and numerous other fun projects
let's just say
I"ve got a few more supplies on hand
than in former days.
-
I have spent the last month touching everything I own
and deciding what to keep or donate or toss
-
And I am happy to say I'm just about finished.
=
After I accomplish my newest 5 page list
in the next two days that is.

You had my dream studio, dear Violet, but I know your new place will be terrific!
Hugs to you,

VIOLET! Oh, talk about CRAZY.....I am over here with TOOTHPICKS on my eyes as I type at 5:30am.....I am not sleeping much; I have too much on my mind with the end of the school year. NOW YOU are in a HUGE transition now my dear, and I thank you so much for leaving a comment on my blog post. Life is crazy now but will slow down for both of us. I cannot wait for the Paris post and then to hear more about your project!!! LOVEYOU Anita

Oh how very bittersweet. Not just to pack up your beloved belongings but to sort through them and decide what to keep is very difficult. Your new studio will be even more wonderful than the one you are leaving. Blessings...

Palomasea said...

Thank you so much, dear Violet, for visiting me...I am always so happy to see your messages!
I know you are so busy right now...there are many transitions happening it seems. I hope the process has some wonderful elements and joyful moments for you!
Looking forward to flying to Paris with dear Anita and friends!
Take care, sweet Violet...
Hugs and love,

Sounds like a move is in progress. What a beautiful collection of art supplies and I imagine the daunting task of packing up .. and what to bring!

Imagine the purging
is rather freeing.....
whittling it down to
that which is useful,
beautiful or sentimental!
{Or better yet, all three!}
Best of luck in your summer
retreat!

Violet, I cannot begin to imagine such a task for such a studio, but a fresh start awaits and that in itself is so invigorating.
LOVE your use of tiny salt shakers for glitter. I confess you have given me no choice but to be a copycat and do the same. Inspiration to blame. :)
Have a lovely Saturday.
MUAH!
