Shoppe On Main-Newfane

I have always imagined my creations for sale in a cute little boutique one day. Seeing my effort, time, and inspired ideas in their tangible form for others to enjoy was a dream come true. It may seem simple and ordinary to others, but for me, this is a sign of success.

Tim and I would talk about my ambitions and I talked about owning my own shop one day which launched into his marriage proposal (effectively throwing me off being that my brain was in business mode). I wanted to have a place that felt like home for mine and other people's art to be shared. I could spend hours browsing over little hand made treasures in shops lining small town roads as it is. For example, Lewiston is one of my favorite places to shop for the holidays. Growing up there was Madison, CT and all the many places in the Finger Lakes.

There is an amazing shop in my little town of Newfane, NY. This shop is a collective of more than 50 local artists. I met with Sue, the owner of Shoppe on Main, on October 8th and I got the contract to rent space in her shop. She loved the stamp pieces and my pastel works! I made plans with her to set up my stamps on my shelf and she would display "Handsome the Reindeer" throughout the holiday shopping season as well.

Seriously, the prettiest horse jewelry I have ever seen.

I am a sucker for Native American black and white art too. The whole southwestern, earthy and eclectic style has been my thing. So all of this was had me going "Eeeee!"

  

(Sorry about the glare-cell phone shots)

There was a lot of vintage accessories and wood works around the shop too.

Then you see my dogs stamps!!!

 

 I hope that this relationship with Shoppe on Main leads to a profitable and positive movement forward for Wild at Heart Illustration. 

Come do some shopping in my neck of the woods and ask me if you don't see your favorite breed-there are more to come before the holidays and I may have some at home or in the works already. 

Stamp pieces are $12.00

"Handsome the Reindeer" (Original oil pastel drawing in distressed black frame-18x24 inches) $140

I will write again soon about my holiday shopping mission. Thank you for supporting Wild at Heart Illustration!
