I am looking at decorating The Cozy Craft Corner located in Downtown Sacramento in French Country Shabby Chic style. We went yard sailing on Saturday and found a great chest for $25. 
This dresser looks kinda like the one I got at the yard sale but mine is yellow.
This inspired me to do the above mentioned style. I love the sea foam green color, yellow, purple and red. In looking for things in this style I found this cool french blog. It turns out she has combined it with another blog she had and has just the one now. It's theseasonalcottage.blogspot.com. 
I like how she has the days organized a certain way. 
Sunday~ Reflections
Monday~ Random Musings
Tuesday ~ In the Studio
Wednesdays ~ Through My Lens
Thursday's ~ French Find
Friday's ~ Food Feature
Saturday ~ Simple Pleasures
I think it would be fun to have something like this on my blog but not sure what yet. 

I am going today to look at paint colors. I found some french stencils on etsy I might get. But I also like the walls that have writing on them so instead of a design I might do words.
I like this color!

I like the color of this one, this is a color I want on the wall.
We will see how the shop turns out. I am looking forward to decorating and setting up. I officially have the shop spot as of  today! Yay!

New Adventure in the Making The Cozy Craft Corner!

This past month I have been working on my business. The name is The Cozy Craft Corner. It will be a place where you can come get classes, and meet artistic, creative people like yourself.

A Collage I did recently. 
 I set some classes up for this month in a gift shop Trezhers Gifts on Riverside blvd in the Land Park area of Sacramento, Ca.
Journal, Wire Wrap Pendants and Wire Wrap Rings are the classes offered.

Hand bound Journal I made.
The most exciting thing happened! I found the perfect location for a shop and will be moving in the middle of July. Opening in August and located in Downtown Sacramento. The building has been an Art Complex. I have so many ideas of classes and fun things to do there. I will be selling my jewelry and goods, as well as supplies.

Copper Heart Ring I made.
I have started a meetup group. If you have not heard of it well it's a website where you can find all kinds of meetings, adventures and such with groups of people. It is a very big site so wherever you are there is sure to be local meetup groups. Check it out!
Wire Wrapped Heart Pendant I made.
I am looking forward to seeing how this adventure will help others through art self expression. I know how much art has helped me in my life. I hope to see you all at The Cozy Craft Corner!
