The magical, magical world & works of Santa Barbara artist Virginia McCracken. A new round arrived today and could not be happier. We have carried Virginia’s art for many years now, and I absolutely love to see the delight of customers when they first experience her whimsical pieces. She creates everything inside each box which makes them even more special and adds to the worlds she envisions for each.
One of my favorite things about all this magical sunlight is how it dances off the water creating shimmering light through the trees which hits the walls inside and becomes a live performance.
Enjoy all the fruits of the bountiful season upon us. Whatever season that might be!
This {Flower Friday} about the beautifully blue hydrangea that have graced the WestWard outside dining table for the past two weeks. Sitting in cobalt blue vintage French drinking glasses, cutting them short allows the weight of the head to be supported plus it keeps the blooms nice and low so you can see over them easily when talking with guests. But my favorite part is you get to gaze down upon them, seeing lots of ruffly detail of the petals. Everyone have a stellar July weekend! T
For me, an interesting retail shopping experience is all about ‘moments’ that happen as you are walking around the space. How you feel in the environment, as well as how happy the vignettes make your eyes. I snapped this one the other day when I was straightening up after a busy day. The composition of objects drew me in. Even after all these years of doing what I do, I still always want to feel that spark.
