I’m excited to announce a new edition of the “GROW YOUR OWN ROOTS” Tee will be coming to my hometown of Greenville, SC in August 2010! It’s the same great quality, Alternative Apparel’s ringspun 100% cotton tee, so soft you want to sleep in it! Stay tuned for retail locations near you!

I want to take a minute to say thanks to our own Local Food Hub. They make local produce easily available to Charlottesville restaurants and a lot of our local schools. They support Central Virginia farmers and are doing their part to make healthy food a part of our lives.
I’m continually amazed at the support Charlottesville offers our local establishments, so if you don’t know about the Local Food Hub, check them out and thank them for all the hard work they do.

These are my ! I’d say new TOMS, but they are more loved now since receiving them in August, wearing them around town, and yes, apple picking in them this weekend. Thanks Jenny and Anna! Despite their appearance and weight, they are a very durable and comfortable shoe that I’d like to see more of, in Charlottesville specifically.
The beauty of purchasing TOMS is that you get shoes and so does a fellow human being who may have never had shoes before. Can you imagine? I walk to work, the studio, the bank, the grocery, to get coffee, my friends’ house, church, a million places and I’m certainly not thankful enough for whats covering my feet.
If you don’t know much about what they do at TOMS shoes it’s pretty cool. There are a number of ways to get involved so check ‘em out and then do something…least of all…buy a pair of shoes:)

So much to feel.
Today I met and clicked with a lady named Jann, a lover of classy, vintage collectibles, apparel, and nicknacks. She lives to collect others people’s old stuff, bring history to life, and creates useful decorations, like wall clocks from vintage plates and decoupaged 1920’s style mirrors. Her slogan is “a flea market at your fingertips…nothing you need, everything you want” which concisely describes her little shop, June and Ruby’s at 209 Second Street, SW Charlottesville. We bonded as mutual lovers of all things Alphonse Mucha and now, wearers of the Grow Your Own Roots Charlottesville t-shirt. She’s carrying them in her store, so 3 cheers for Jann! You should definitely check out her cutie website at www.juneandruby.com and welcome her to the club! Yay!

coffee. anticipation. clear blue skies. top down. windy, country roads. beautiful homes. grassy fields. tall corn stalks. turn around. run down, ivy covered barns. bubbling fountain. cool breeze. tomatoes. dill. hosta. squash. lilies. cinnamon. fern. wrought iron slithering snake. garden isle. cross legged. scrunched up pants. sunny highlights. barefoot. shiny cherries. and some painting supplies….that is a plein air session at Jeanine’s.

First post. I want to bring your attention to the “Give” page. This idea is a way for you and I to give back to the world for all of the amazing ways that we’ve been blessed. Friends, family, coworkers, strangers…there are so many people to thank and show our appreciation for living such a blessed life. This is how it’ll go. Periodically, I will post a new painting that will be dedicated to a cause, organization, person or family, etc. who could use the proceeds from the purchase of the painting. It’s a win-win. I get to paint and you get to help out some one, some where who’s in need of some thing. This is a test run, so have fun with it! First cause…Peak7. I’ve listed their website on the “Give” page which has all of their particulars. I’m definitely up for ideas on who might need support, so send them my way.
Let the bidding begin…Cheers!
