I'd Rather be in Hawaii...with Dava

Felicia Kramer is continuing her "I'd Rather be in Hawaii" series today with a wonderful article about my good friend and photographer, Dava Shepherd. She lives on Kauai in Kapaa and is a fellow member of Women Artists of Kauai. One of my favorite photos from Dava is pictured above, "God Always Leaves a Window Open" and can be purchased at her Etsy Shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/treasuresfromhawaii . This photo is from the (green) Wai'oli Hui'ia Church, in Hanalei which many people remember passing on their way to the "end of the road" on the North Shore of Kauai.

Little Red Cottage

A few weeks ago I was looking for some great embellishments for my Valentine's Day Card Making Workshops (next one is on Saturday, Feb. 14 from 11am-1pm at my studio, Painting Paradise in Waimea, Kauai) and decided to go shopping on Etsy (my favorite place to purchase supplies and handmade goods). I came across this adorable store www.littleredcottage.etsy.com after visiting her blog www.mylittleredcottage.blogspot.com . The owner is Michele Reed and she had exactly what I needed! Hearts, of course, and lots of cool looking papers!

Well, last week Schar www.scharart.etsy.com and I made some really fun cards and coupon books for Valentine's Day using the supplies I bought from Michele. We had a blast!! She even featured some of our creations on her very own blog, http://mylittleredcottage.blogspot.com/2009/02/kauaiartistetsycoms-valentines-day.html. Thank you Michele for the wonderful article!!!

If you are looking for scrapbook embellishments, scrapbook paper, acrylic stamps, handmade mini albums, handmade cards, stamping art kits, buttons, ribbons, and more, please visit Michele's Etsy Shop at www.littleredcottage.etsy.com! She is such a joy and pleasure to do business with.

Here are a few more of our creations. The top one is a beautiful Valentine made by Schar and the bottom one is a book of "Love" Coupons made by yours truly! (Can't wait to give it to my sweetie pie!) ;-)
