Domino Magazine

I received a phone call yesterday from Domino Magazine in NY to tell me that my Modern Hearts 001, will be featured in the August issue. They are doing a spread on unique finds for baby. I am so excited because my hearts have been really selling well, and they deserve the exposure. They are bright and honestly can last through all ages of childhood.
I haven't blogged for about a week now due to my overwhelming schedule. Let's just say charity, filling orders, shipping, a custom piece I am working on, and oh yes...my boys. I won't bore you with the details.
Well, I need to get back to painting. I am working on a custom piece of artwork that i will post when I am done. Can't wait to show.....Marnie

Finding Love

Before the holidays, I purchased these little stones for my bathroom, that smell fantastic. They make the bathroom smell fresh and clean. Having four boys in the house, you can only imagine how many times a week i am cleaning. So the neat thing about them is, when i poured them out to put them in my pretty little bowl, I noticed one stone was shaped like a heart.

Can you find it? Crazy how little things I find brighten my day.

HEART INSPIRATION

I stumbled across this room setting from a beautiful baby store in Georgia called B. Braithwaite. A mother and daughter created this most amazing store after a trip to Paris. But what drew me to this picture was that it is exactly what my room looked like when i was a little girl. White walls, simple white and birch furniture. Except, the hearts in my room were in a single straight line going around the middle of the room. My childhood is what inspired me to create my modern hearts. I added some other bright colors in just to give it more conversation. And that it did. And just as i expected, they are selling very well. They are one of my top sellers and for reasons being. My clients have bought them for children of all ages. Baby, kids, and teens to be exact.
And almost every person who has purchased them have all said the same thing, " The Modern Hearts are so bright and happy, I have to have them and my daughter is going to love them."

And I am so happy that my customers are enjoying them as much as I have.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME

It wouldn't fit in our house if football wasn't the topic for today's post. SUPERBOWL....yes it's a holiday around here. All the requests are in for what I HAVE to serve today. Ham, chicken wings, cheese dip with spicy sausage, chips,etc. Of course, i will throw in some veggies. My boys, and I am including my husband, are already taunting each other for who will come out victorious.

I'm off to make a chart of dollar squares for the game....and the bank!

CREATIVE BREAKFAST

Good morning to all. I am posting today with a favorite family breakfast. EGGS IN A FRAME. My boys love this breakfast and I make it for them at least two..to ..three times a week. But since we are celebrating the month of February, a heart cutout is perfect.

So easy. Even the kids can help out on this part.

Press the heart down to cut out your shape.











Then spread butter on all edges and both sides of the bread. This makes it extra yummy.


Spray your heated pan with cooking spray. Place the bread onto the pan and let it cook for a minute. Drop the egg right in the middle. Cook to desired consistancy. My boys like the yolk runny so they can dip bread or bacon in it. Don't forget to add some salt or pepper for great flavor!






There you have it. A perfect breakfast. Spread your favorite jelly, jam, preserves, butter, peanut butter, or whatever you like on the little heart cutout. Bacon is a must in our family. Surprise the ones you love with this breakfast on Valentine's Day, your loved one will never forget this. Enjoy and happy to share.
