UPDATE: Unfortunately, we’ve had an unexpected change of plans and will not be open Friday evening. Thanks for understanding, and be sure to enjoy the party at Beaufort Emporium and visit all the other terrific merchants! Thank you.
August Greetings from artsyletters!
Join us for FIRST FRIDAY this Friday from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. (Look for my sandwich-board sign on the sidewalk.) We’re covered up in family for the next couple of weeks and I’m also covered up in a commission or two; Friday open studio/shop hours will resume after mid-August. In the meantime, my Etsy shop is always open! :0)
Heads’ up – I’ll be offering another mixed media workshop at Coastal Art Supply on Sat., Oct. 13 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Details to come.
Happy End-of-Summer-ing!
JULY GREETINGS, Continued…
While I will actually be closed this week (July 19-20) because our kids are visiting, I’m delighted to share that you can now find some artsyletters offerings at the BEAUTIFUL Beaufort Emporium & Dry Goods Company on Bay Street!
Check out my table on the left after you walk in, and be sure to peruse the variety of gifts, souvenirs, and special treasures all around. Friendly folks and classy gifts!
I’m honored to have some items there, including some new local-themed goodies such as upcycled and handmade journals, magnets, key rings and bookmarks featuring hand-aged images from antique South Carolina maps. (Listing similar items in my Etsy shop in coming days!)
Enjoy Water Festival Week, whether you’re here in town or just here in spirit!
Happy Summer!
My newsletter and a couple of trip posts are in the works, but in the meantime…
Come on downtown on Friday, July 7, for a Red-White-and-Blue First Friday celebration from 5 – 8 p.m. We’ll be back to “regular” Thursday and Friday open studio hours after that. See you soon!
Happy JUNE! We are getting ready for FIRST FRIDAY AFTER 5, 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. downtown on June 1. Come on up for a howdy, and maybe a gift for letter-loving grads or literary gents for Father’s Day! :0) Look for my little A-Frame sign on the 800 block of Bay Street.
The rest of the month we will be either gallivanting around soaking up literary inspirations on vacation, or I’ll be tucked behind the door madly making, making making. We’ll be back with bells on in July. My Etsy shop will be on holiday from June 7-24.
Hope your Summer starts out with plenty of art and poetry!
Feeling Royal? Here are a few new offerings to celebrate British roots:
Click here to see on Etsy!
I came across these wonderful vintage brass stampings of the British Royal Coat of Arms (“Royal Arms”) and had to do something with them! I’ve made three of these pins/bag tags. The pin is an antique/vintage brass laundry pin, probably from the 1910s and military, according to vendor. It’s heavy duty. I’ve attached the stamping with a large brass ring from an old clock chain. Cheers!

This “Royal” necklace makes a fun statement for typewriter fans. The vintage Royal name plate has been attached to two black rope chains and flanked with vintage black Swarovski crystal drops and fun pewter quatrefoil links.

You don’t have to be at the very top of the nobility food chain to enjoy a family crest or coat of arms… I’m making up some Scottish coats of arms keychains/tags for the rest of us, too! This one pictured happens to be for the family name, Scott. The image was clipped from THE SCOTTISH CLANS – With the Badges, Arms, Slogans, etc. of the Clans (Circa 1930).
If you’re in the States and rising early like I am to enjoy the festivities (the bride is American, after all!), here’s a raised cup of Earl Grey to you! And lovely wishes wherever you are in the world.
Ready for the LITTLE WOMEN 2-part miniseries on PBS? It starts Sunday, May 13 – Mother’s Day! If you’re a fan or have one on your gift list, here’s just the thing to hold that reading list to the fridge or filing cabinet!
The vintage US Postage Stamp on this magnet features Louisa May Alcott’s beloved “little women” from the book, first published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869. The stamp is part of a series of Children’s Classics issued in October of 1993 (Scott #2785-88), four 29-cent stamps honoring classic books for young readers. Click here for more info or to order from my Etsy shop. (Or click here for a gift set featuring this and three other classic children’s book magnets featuring stamps!)
Open most Thursdays and Fridays 11:30 to 4:00; other hours by whim and appointment. (Please check above Calendar to confirm dates we’re open.)
My Etsy shop is open 24/7!
