Oh, we are just bubbling over with seltzer smiles today after seeing some of our artwork on Custom Decor products in the Atlanta showroom, Darrah and Co.
Garden flags, mailbox covers and lovely doormats covered with our uplifting artwork and inspiring messages... it's a little bit of the dream and vision in our hearts coming to life.

Here's a closer view of one of our favorites pieces with Marybeth Wydock, the artist who created these lovely designs.
Some people are just born creative ... notice that her shoes match the pantone color in the artwork.
The Atlanta Mart is just buzzing this year and we loved the energy and creativity that freely flowed throughout the day. We stopped for a fun visit with our licensing agent, Jan Draheim and her assistant Rebecca Hubert of Painted Planet Licensing Group, to discuss new color trends and designs with Alison Gordon of Custom Decor.
And we were thrilled beyond expression to spend some time with Jacqueline Decker, an artist we admire who is as refreshing and genuine in person as her lovely works of art. Jacqueline's studio is the choir loft of an old church, now restored into her family's home. You really have to take a look:http://jackiedecker.blogspot.com/
Two gracious gentlemen at Little River Gift spent some time telling us about the heartwarming history of this family-owned company and the inspirational products they create. Thank-you Bret and Clay! Take a look at their uplifting website if you are not familiar with them, so inspiring!
And we re-connected with some old aquaintances at Kindred Hearts. They're another creative family owned business that are just so uplifting to visit.
We'll have some more Mart info to come, including our fun trip to the Westside Provisions area for gourmet cookies for Jan and a relaxed, casual dinner at Taqueria del Sol. It's just around the corner from the Mart, for those of you in town this week. http://westsidepd.com/dining/
