A Glimpse into my Studio World!
Glimpses of the studio! 5
These are a few of my favorite things! My studio at the store is also my sacred space, my place where magic begins! A place where I can escape into an imaginary world! Inside you will find a lot of my artwork, artwork from friends, swaps and brilliant artist, vintage finds and collections!

This is the place where I create, its not too fancy or stiff, too pretty or serious, its practical, collectible and magical, just the right fix for me, its always evolving and will continue to be my space! I just need another cabinet, 2 shelves and a paper station, then it should be complete.Glimpses of the studio! 14Glimpses of the studio! 9
For now, I'd like to give you a glimpse into my world of magic, I'll call this part one!
