A Vintage Christmas

Hello friends. As the holiday season is upon us, I'd just like to take a moment to encourage you all to try to relax and enjoy your time with friends and family. It's been a bit hectic here at the new home, but we're starting to settle in. I'm excited to be somewhat getting back to a normal life...well as normal as my life can be :) Hope you are all doing well. Here are some new prints in my shop. Also, if you are in the area, our work is available at the Starbucks in the Third Ward of Milwaukee for the month of december!

Gallery Night in Milwaukee

So Gallery Night on October 16th was so much fun! Again, I'm so honored that the The Home Market featured my work! They are an amazing store and did an inspiring job of arranging my work and complimenting it with some of there items. I sold 5 pieces from my new insect series. These are a preview of what will be available in our shop when we re-open in about a week. Miss you all, and look forward to being back after our move!! Emi :)

Now available at The Home Market

So from our Starbucks show, we were contacted by a local shop called The Home Market for some wholesale work. Much to my delight, I visited the store, and fell in love. Every item, every detail, seemed like it was hand picked. The feel was somewhat Anthropologie-esque, but less commercial feeling. Somewhat rustic, yet very sophisticated. And what an honor for them to choose to have some our work there! Our pieces have only been hanging for a little over a week, and we've already sold 3 items..yeah!! I highly recommend if you are in the Milwaukee area, you stop by. You are sure to find something to compliment your home. I've already got my eye on several things for my own home, and well as uniquely special holiday gift ideas.

Starbucks

Pfewf! It's been a busy few weeks here in Milwaukee.  Starting today, for the entire month of June, our work we'll be on display and for sale at Starbucks in the Historic Third Ward of Milwaukee.  Click here for directions and hours.  Items are priced between $30-$150.  It was encouraging to hear positive comments from the patrons and staff while we were hanging the work.  The rustic elegance of this particular Starbucks makes for a great backdrop for any artwork.  I feel lucky and honored to have work on display there.  If you are in the area, I highly recommend checking out some of the great shops/events that the Third Ward has to offer.  For more info on the area, click here.  If you'd like to visit my shop, click here.  Have a great week all!! ;)
