This summer I have taken my brush a travilin a true gypsy painter :) My first stop was in mount Dora, Karen's Kozy Kottage! I painted her a lovely sign for her new summer place, along with some furniture...I spent the day in quited in that quaint little town I love.....the second stop was another of my most favorite places, St. Augustine Fl, the home of my customer and now sweet buddy Michelle. She had a fab idea of painting her closet doors in a royal Marie Antoinette fashion. The duke & duchess as their friends call them. I think the doors came out lovely....though a challenge standing up painting for hours, I did manage to take a break and eat dinner! Michelle is a fabulous cook! Another project was sent to me, 2 huge ,giant,humongous mirrors!!! Did I say they were huge? I finished one and its now ready to ship yay!! Beautiful french mirror with tons of roses. Now on to the larger one whew! Another project was painting some beautiful ceiling tins my father made. Sooo lovely . Besides that we are getting our second summer line ready to list on Paris Rags.com What a busy summer....but productive :) Till next time!! Hugs to you all, love, Kimberly</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Paris Rags Romancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04961935966654927819noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7847429498352543805.post-28183521803137656742010-04-20T17:44:00.000-07:002010-04-20T17:56:51.979-07:00Let us Eat CAKE!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_m0rOni6wC9g/S85NIw2mPPI/AAAAAAAAB7M/UBKnmYSnVq0/s1600/GetAttachment.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 281px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462388210995182834" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_m0rOni6wC9g/S85NIw2mPPI/AAAAAAAAB7M/UBKnmYSnVq0/s400/GetAttachment.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_m0rOni6wC9g/S85NInHJAcI/AAAAAAAAB7E/fTbDmRabjGo/s1600/invite.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 333px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462388208380215746" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_m0rOni6wC9g/S85NInHJAcI/AAAAAAAAB7E/fTbDmRabjGo/s400/invite.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m0rOni6wC9g/S85NIewz_cI/AAAAAAAAB68/0mSIX78pxVE/s1600/button.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 307px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462388206139080130" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m0rOni6wC9g/S85NIewz_cI/AAAAAAAAB68/0mSIX78pxVE/s400/button.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_m0rOni6wC9g/S85NIEMhwTI/AAAAAAAAB60/NldyUNqUjTk/s1600/kim%27s.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 290px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462388199007568178" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_m0rOni6wC9g/S85NIEMhwTI/AAAAAAAAB60/NldyUNqUjTk/s400/kim%27s.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Do you love Marie Antoinette?

Don't you hate it when you keep checking your favorite blogs and they are still the same from the last month! Anyway, glad to visit with you all, today's post is actually not about my art but my Dad's art. He told me he was doing a few ceiling tin pieces and wanted to show them to me, well I about died when I saw how beautiful and unique they were. He took them to show last month , they are amazing, shelves, hooks, hand carved mirrors, the prettiest colors you have ever seen. He is a color mixing expert as he repairs leather in boats, planes ,cars etc. A great eye for mixing colors. He has started a blog so pop over and visit <a href="http://goldeneraart.blogspot.com/2010/03/grand-opening-golden-era-art.html">GOLDEN ERA ART</a> I have a feeling you will be seeing more of his work in magazines soon, His last name is Golden hence, Golden Era Art pretty catchy right. Thanks for stopping by!

My other love , Vintage textiles, lace, old tattered fabrics. I love creating beautiful things out of old worn pieces. Have you stopped by my Paris Rags? You will understand why I haven't posted too much on this blog! I wish I had more time to do both full time but , it's impossible....Here are some items I made from our recent show and other items in my Etsy boutique. As the economy changes our priorities change in what we purchase. I find women will buy something beautiful to adorn themselves more than they would buy a painting for their home. I have also found that the things I make that women wear touch their heart , it becomes sentimental when it touches the skin and makes them feel beautiful. My heart flutters each time a customer emails gushing over a piece that they purchased, it means so much to me and feeds my burning desire to create something special for someone.

Been a while since my last post, life is so whirlwind isn't it? I managed to finish some projects as seen in the photos, a Cottage bench, wash stand, and vintage pillar column. They all came out so pretty! Other than painting, just sewing, cleaning and some home improvements, as always. I did get a new cell phone this week a razr, I wanted a blackberry but at 500 that was out of my budget range, but the razr is great too, I can get my email and go web surfing, I'm so happy about that! As they say your Always Connected ! That's me now, I guess....I had grand plans of finishing my book this summer but I'm only one woman so not sure when exactly. We have plans for a DVD ( Learning how to paint roses) Part of a book and DVD collection, Paint your "Art" Out ! My new book Title is Embellish Your "Art" Out! The DVD is nerve racking since I'm not a fan of being on camera, Yikes. I'm not teaching one stroke, but my different techniques I've learned after 12 years of oil painting.

Here are a few things I have been working on. I love the lilacs painting and the little cottage painting. So sweet..... Wish me luck at the yard sale, should be fun though it's so hot here in Jacksonville you can hardly breath in the heat of the day. I picked up my new issue of Romantic Country magazine today it's just full of beauty.... perhaps the best magazine issue ever, home after home wow, usually the other magazines just shoot the same home or shop time after time, it gets boring,I'm so happy Romantic Country has Ms . Fifi, she is very talented, great style and seems so sweet to boot! She's making these Metal primitive hearts customized , which I will get one of , when she has more time, which is very rare I'm sure, still thinking of what I want mine to say, they are adorable, I cant imagine they are easy to make either! Stop by and see <a href="http://fabulousfifi.typepad.com/">Fifi's Hearts</a>, I'm sure it's nothing new to you all, if you blog you know who Fifi is! Happy weekend , thanks for taking the time to visit me , love comments too!!

So here are a few pretties and some mosaic work i did, another craft I love, it's so relaxing you can't imagine! I finished three pieces in one night with the exception of grouting and sealing them. I've added so many things to the website, little treasures I've treasured for a while and new found pretties. I only wish I could stick with one art form, and be really great at it. I seem to have so many crafts up in the air....I have two antique Boothe's here in Jacksonville 2 websites, ebay auctions, Etsy shop and sell a few things here and there on Craigslist! You might think I was rich by now :) Thanks for stopping by to read my little blog, hope you have a great week! </div></div></div></div></div>Paris Rags Romancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04961935966654927819noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7847429498352543805.post-71814063794083279552009-05-15T07:45:00.000-07:002009-05-15T07:49:13.501-07:00NEW WEBSITE OPEN!

Most of you know I have been working hard on my new website items for <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">ParisRags</span>.com ....I have always loved Romantic clothing and accessories, as a young girl I would make <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">allot</span> of ( adjustments) to my wardrobe :) My mom would say I chopped all my clothes up to my liking! I have been painting and will continue painting my roses on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">ShabbyRoseStudio</span>.com but will also be sewing and creating beautiful wearable art using old vintage lace, millinery and all beautiful vintage scraps and pieces. While most of my inventory I have made, we will be on the hunt for the most romantic apparel we can find. I hope you will visit my Paris Rags Blog and leave a comment for a chance to win a custom Marie Antoinette French inspired cuff that I will hand make myself! I'll be posting photos of it May 15<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Th</span>.

The first night we arrived it was freezing! This is Fl we are always sweating and complaining that it never gets cold:) It was all so funny after you look back... Out in the cold almost nightfall trying to set up this 10x20 tent just out of the box in the freezing cold! My daughter stayed in the car all warm and cozy while she watched us set up, better than comedy tv! We finally got it set up now time to set up camp with a kerosene heater my husband brought, wow those things get hot, but thank goodness since we thought it might be nice to camp with our stuff for the first night, not realizing it would be that cold. Then we get the air bed out and realized the pump need batteries, oh my....so my mcgyver husband rigged up his drill battery to the pump and we finally had our mattress! Eating dinner was great fun too, NOT popping lots of cans of ravioli and cooking them on the heater, it really works! The next day was fun filled with cold wind blowing the tent down lol I'll spare you the details...Saturday was a great sunny but cool day,,,,we sold lots and someone actually bought my dress form which wasn't for sale, with ALL my clothing , bag, jewelry and hat! He made me an offer I couldn't refuse lol Lots of work went into getting there, I painted till I couldn't for sure. We met allot of great people that were set up next to us all around. A screenwriter who writes while his wife sells her goods, Katrina who has amazing style, she has a shop in Michigan called Paris . On our right we met Kathy and her sweet hubby, Kathy is so talented we discovered, she makes these amazing bags , she loves the 40's and it shows! These bags were made so well,,, each stitch was perfect. Very creative and fun, I know shop owners out there would love to get their hands on them. She makes them out of vinyl , fabric and fabric transfers. The handles are lucite looking and some are a bamboo....very cool ! You can email Kathy here <a href="mailto:lovetheforties@gmail.com">lovetheforties@gmail.com</a> if you want one , I think she will have them on Etsy soon! It was a pleasure to see her each day, we miss them! We might be back at the end of February not sure, still recovering from the last trip! Paris Rags did so well, I'm exited to open the website, I'm back to sewing and getting ready for the opening.... seems like deppresion chic is the in thing now! Talk to you all soon, thanks for stopping by and saying hi! It makes my day:) Kimberly</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Paris Rags Romancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04961935966654927819noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7847429498352543805.post-15794863890672725132009-01-05T07:19:00.000-08:002009-01-05T07:27:31.089-08:00Incredible Fairytale Website!<a href="http://www.eleganceandwhimsy.com/"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287829996731007618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 100px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_m0rOni6wC9g/SWIlXavOgoI/AAAAAAAABGk/7BOvfYUdncw/s320/header.jpg" border="0" /></a> I was in pure heaven today as I went to vist the new website of my friend Cathy, Elegance and Whimsy!

Is there even a Gypsy PArisian? Well, maybe I just made her up, Something like if Marie Antoinette hadnt been executed but just put out of her home with nothing but her old clothes and she had to sew them all together to create some kind of fashion? Sound silly? I'm silly I know but crazy as it may be I have been sewing all maries Rags, thus the new website name PARIS RAGS, I'm having a blast for now, havent made much money yet thats the downer but maybe it will catch on....This january 16-19 we will have our first tent shop at the Mount Dora Extravaganza, I hope some of you will be able to come!! So far I have bags, clothes, Rag Bands, pillows and some odds n ends I'm offering....Along with all my hand painted roses, furniture, artwork....needless to say, I'm a painting sewing crazy fool~ Anyway, Hope you will <a href="http://parisrags.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:130%;">visit my new blog</span></a> here .

She is also for sale, though I hate to part with her, the frame is antique. For anyone interested we will have a beautiful full booth at the Mount Dora Antiques Extravaganza January 14-16, its near Orlando Fl.....Beautiful historical town. My covered shop will be packed full of hand painted furniture, art and tons of other pretties! So I will be busy painting till then, I'll post photos of all the treasures!

I'm a Flickr addict I think lol . I have been posting most of my new work to Flickr I forget that alot of you might not go there! So I'll post some of the things I have been working on or are now up for sale. I get into different moods of art, sometimes I can paint till I drop, then I turn to embellishing, which my book is about, hopefully it will be finished end of this coming summer, it's just too much to work on it all the time and still work and school, etc. This summer I can get down to business.... Then I get in my sewing moods, which I am into right now, I love vintage Gypsy style clothing, and accesories, I'v been on the hunt for old lace to shred up :) I recently sold some of my work to singer, actress,fashionista Courtney Love, after I saw what she was buying on Etsy I was really inspired to do more sewing, she really has termendous style for beautiful antique inspired clothes. I never would have guessed. Very sweet too. Anyway , I love creating vintage inspired wareable art, jewelry you get it right. I have listed tons of my new things on etsy, so many incredible artists , you'll have to click on my favorites to see some of the items, wow....... I'll add the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5292802">Link here</a> to my Etsy page, let me know what you think. I go back and forth with my crazy ideas hopeing one day I'll make something everyone has to have!! I keep trying , this brain never stops ( hence the need for stress vitamins) Oh how I wish I could be content to just clean house and have no interest in creating .... guess I wouldnt be me then. Enjoy the photos !
