Small Business Saturday & a Giveaway
Did you have a super Thanksgiving? I hope so! Today I’m excited about Small Business Saturday and a Giveaway!
We’re not big on Black Friday. We usually sleep in and have a lazy day. This year we started decorating our home for Christmas and we also went to our local brewery – Untold Brewing Company to meet up with friends. It really was a great way to celebrate this long weekend.
As many of you know, today is Small Business Saturday. I love supporting local small businesses. We always walk down the hill, to the harbor, to support artisans and merchants.

But before we get bundled up and walk down to Front Street I wanted to share what’s going on in my little shop.
You may recall back in September I shared the exciting news of opening a Society6 shop, you can read my post here. For those of you who don’t know, Society6 is an online site which allows artist to sell their work on over 40 types of products. I’ve been overwhelmed by your kind words on my work and the pillows and prints you’ve ordered.
In fact, I’ve set up a studio in our guest room and made it a multipurpose room. Here’s a glimpse of the room.
I will share more of this space soon. It gets wonderful light all day which is great for watercolor.
This blue heron clock is from my Society6 shop.
I have two desks set up in here. One for blogging and one for watercolor.
Lately, I’ve been working on succulents. These are in progress:
I still have to add more layers and the dark purples and reds.
This one is finished and available for sale (it was my first attempt and you can see my splonging strips. :
I am enjoying learning new techniques and trying to paint new things.
For Christmas I did a few with ink and watercolor. I shared My Winter Favorites here (as a free printable). It’s also available in my shop as notebooks, mugs, t shirts and tote bags. I think the totes would make great gift bags.
Society6 has such high quality. I’ve given so many as gifts to family and friends, as well as, bought some for our own home! Speaking of which, you can see the latest that I’ve ordered:
This pretty evergreen tree in a galvanized bucket.
I also tried this one out in the living room.
I painted Luke’s worn Bean Boots.
LL Bean Boots are a New England classic at wintertime. You can see them here in our entry along with the pillow:
As you can see the boots are well loved.
Great in New England snow storms. I couldn’t resist trying to capture them with my watercolors.
Click here for the worn boot pillow.
We also love NH in the winter. I experimented with painting the mountains in winter. There’s something about that clean fresh pine air.
You can see this as a wall tapestry here.
I hope today, on this Small Business Saturday, that you’ll stop by my shop. Along with the above prints I also have coastal theme, winter theme and photography from England.

What beautiful work you do! Thank you for such a lovely giveaway opportunity. I would love the Evergreen pillow. It is just so pretty and would look so pretty in my home!
Love the boots! I grew up in Alaska and boots like those were worn all the time! I didn’t even know what flip flops were till I moved to Pennsylvania!!
I love your creations! Those boots are adorable..

You’re very talented and such an inspiration. I introduced my Sister and my Mom to your blog last year. We really enjoy your paintings, furniture transformations, decorating and recipes too. Thank you for the opportunity to enter
Thank you for the opportunity. I love the boots pillow.
I have been following your blog for over a year now. My first venture into following blogs and I just want to say what a lovely blog it is and what a great family and home you have. I love your watercolors and your dogs and she sheds and that cool sense of style you have. Thanks!
As I said I love your watercolors so I did definitely buy the succulent pillow!! I love it!
The evergreen tree is my favorite. All your watercolors make beautiful pillows.
I love your coastal paintings! Thank you for sharing!

I would buy the Morning at Scituate Lighthouse pillow. Lovely.
I love your watercolors. My best friend has painted with oils for years and is trying to learn how to paint with watercolors. I’ve seen her struggle, so I know it isn’t easy. Keep up the beautiful work!
I love your painting style. Very whimsical and dreamy.
Those are really cute! Thanks for the chance.
Fun paintings! I’d consider getting a wall tapestry for when I move into my new apartment and need to decorate it.
I would love the blue heron clock. It’s gorgeous!

I love pillows! I think they are just the right accessory to any room, so the Evergreen Tree pillow is perfect for me!

I love the wall tapestries and would get my son one of the larger Jellyspace ones. He would love it.
This site has so many options, I don’t know what I’d get. Do you get christmas gifts. I mean my mother-in-law would love the Tote bag (“Love Ya” by Amber Marine ~ Toon Baby Dolphin Art). My husband would like travel mug (vitruvian stitch). Or do I get myself some wall art. Just so many options!.
OMGosh I am chuckling with delight @ the ‘tree in bucket,’ as I have a ‘charlie brown’ tree in a bucket each year (because I still love charlie brown lol), and then plant the tree in the spring… would love a pillow too! thanks for the offer…your watercolors and gorgeous 🙂
Love your artwork! I would buy a pillow, love the bean boots! I live in Arizona so the pillow would be the closest I would get to needing the boots😂
