Pocket Full of Heirlooms

I've discovered in recent months

that I don't blog often enough

"just because."

It's usually to announce a new photography project

or magazine feature, and I've missed

sharing little moments and treasures

just because.

I have something delightfully enchanting to

share today, the handiwork of a most remarkable

artist, Brandy Evans-Beadle of

Pocket Full Of Heirlooms

 I met Brandy at the Junk Salvation show

I photographed for Romantic Country Magazine,

but it was through her intoxicating Etsy Shop

that I truly fell in love with Brandy's work.

Meet Oscar.

Oscar is but a wee little taxidermy feeder mouse,

clutching a bouquet of blooms.

And he is one of Brandy's irresistible creations, now

perching expectantly on my mantle.

Doesn't he look right at home?

Brandy is an antique dealer,
designs fabulous mixed media, vintage inspired jewelry,

whimsical taxidermy critters, and just generally whips up

magic in her studio.
Just your basic creative genius.

Oscar has found an attentive and loving family

here at the Twig household, but won't you give Brandy's

other adoptables a look-see?

Perhaps one of them would be right at home

in your home.

:-)

Happy Week!

Thank You, Romantic Homes Magazine

I just wanted to extend a heartfelt debt of gratitude

to sweet Jacqueline deMontravel and the entire

staff of 

Romantic Homes Magazine

for featuring me in this months issue as one of

"The Romantics"

It's a yearly feature ( every February )

where, to quote the RH table of contents,

" creative people reveal how they live the romantic life,

as told in candid first-person essays and personal photos. "

It was a joy and an honor to be included,

and I hope you'll grab the February issue.

Have a wonderfully warm and romantic day!

This post and shoot included some

I do believe that we captured

some of the best images and vignettes yet,

the simplicity and elegance of each piece

just speaks volumes.

See what you think!
