Sale Alert!

limit 2 free prints PER ORDER please

There is a new print in the shop!

"I Will Wait For You" was actually a commissioned piece off of an older print that I used to sell.

There will also be a huge 13x19 inch print available in an extremely special limited edition once I finish out the test prints. (Limited to 5 prints at $150.00 per gorgeous print)

Obviously the above print holds many of my favorite colors.

As seen in most of my work. (The Utensils series especially)

No matter how much I try to love purple and yellow...I just cannot work with it.

I envy anyone that uses tons and tons of different colors in their work.

For me, it's like my comfiest pair of jeans.

I love them.

And I just LOVE these colors together.


So anyway.

Want some good news?

There is going to be a HUGE sale in the shop starting on Thursday the 21st of August.

Why?

Well, funny you should ask.

My husband and I are planning a move soon (ek!) and we all know everything costs money...not to mention my house is filled with supplies I would like to use up before the big move!

So please stop by if you can and pick up a deal or two! (limit 2 freebies per order)

I know some of you have requested to be notified directly of the next buy one get one free sale. I have not forgotten and will send each of you a reminder early Thursday morning.

And due to the limited nature of the Utensils Series and Larger 11x14 Prints they will not be included in the sale and will be taken out of the shop all together until the sale has ended.

Please let me know if you have questions. You can reach me directly at dazeychic@aol.com or send a convo through lovely etsy.

Have a great Tuesday evening!

little paper doll etc.

new mini mela paper doll w/orders

Today I was driving like a 16 year old that had just gotten their license.

You remember that crisp little piece of paper that you got when you passed the driving test?

It was like a ticket to freedom.

A ticket to (finally) enjoy life.

A slip of paper that declared you were, in fact, a grown up...but without all the stupid responsibilities.

Well, today I rolled down the windows and let the warm summer air whip through the car...and I turned the CD up as loud as I could stand it without my brain hurting.

The windows were rattling...the bass was pounding...

I was a 16 year old again.

The CD I was listening to was given to me by my sister Amy.

A "Summer Mix" she had scribbled across the CD with a black Sharpie.

There are very random songs on this CD...ones that I would never ever listen too...and ones that I would never admit to listening to... but today, being 16 and baby-free...it never sounded so great...and I did not care who heard it.

I was high tailing it to Target to pick up some Teen Spirit Deodorant...kidding. I was getting mommy-type things, totally uninteresting and beside the point.

I am driving...the wind is whipping...I am singing along to the song.

The bass is pumping louder...because I really love this one part-

And then, I hit a red light and I stop.

I am in my own music induced coma.

I don't see anyone...I don't hear anyone...it's as if I am on the road by myself.

Well, me and Miley Cyrus.

Yea.

Uh-huh.

That is NOT a typo.

Miley-freakin-Cyrus.

The little Disney Channel like 10 year old...who has, apparently, taken over the world. And causes huge dramas like "O. M. G. I took a picture with my bra showing. O. M. G."

Yea. Her.

I am ashamed to say that this song, "See You Again" gets me every single time.

On my behalf I would just like to announce that I only found last week that it was Miley Cyrus.

I thought it was Brittany Spears.

Which, really, is not much better and even that is embarrassing enough.

So here I am at the stop light...as a 30 something year old mom...cranking up Miley.

Does it get any worse?

Um. Yes!

I suddenly get this strange feeling that someone is looking at me.

I look over to the right and see a business man, in a nice suit and very nice car...

laughing at me.

Laughing.

At.

Me.

And I know he was giggling at me because when I looked over at him he bobbed his head back and forth to the music.

Yea, he mimicked me. A complete stranger.

The horror!

I tried to look cool.

I looked away really fast as though I did not see him and I switched the song to something slightly more appropriate for my age.

Now,

I am CONVINCED my sister has done this to me on purpose.

She has made an entire mixed CD of songs I should not be listening too.

Songs that they crank up at Gap Kids or abercrombie.

My sister must have been plotting this for years....

Payback for all those times I pulled her hair when she was little or something.

The mixed CD has gone into the glove compartment and will not see the light of day for a very VERY long time.


And as if that little moment was not embarrassing enough?

I walked all around Target with something on my nose.

Something black.

And who told me about it?

The cashier.

"You got a little something on your nose!" She said while swiping her own nose. "Don't worry though...it was small."

Well thank God for that.

Imagine if it were big?!

I mean, Is there a difference?

Something on your nose is not cute!!

Big or small.

Once in awhile you just need to take pictures.

Not of anything in particular...

or anyone really.

You just need to point and click.

It's my way of reminding myself how lucky we are to just be.

To just be here.

At the same time.

On this big wide earth...

sharing these short days as though it is a casual cup of tea.


And sometimes you have to go to wedding receptions that you think sound strange...

and they turn out really cool and really fun.


And sometimes you have to write.

Just write.

About nothing.

Maybe to watch the page fill up with little letters...

or to unclutter your brain...

to free up space for the bigger things.


I am suddenly at a place in my life where everything is special and sweet.

The summer breeze...

family...

sisters...

movie themed receptions...

printing prints...

drawing...

watching my son twirl and spin only to fall in the grass...

stealing a kiss from my husband...

the quietness...

time...

every little ordinary thing is special.

And I wish that for all of you today too.
