Spring WAS on it's way!

Yesterday, the Kansas City area got hit with rain, which turned into ice, which then turned into snow.  Today, it's in the mid-40's and it's all melting away.  Nothing like a little winter storm...in spring!

Spring is on It's Way!

Spring is TRYING to, well, spring! I had what will hopefully be my last exam to finish up my Architectural Registration the other day, and as a little reward, I decided to have a little 'me' time and just wander around with my camera. It was overcast, extremely windy, and not very warm. But, I did manage to get a couple of shots of a few trees starting to blossom. All were taken with my 50mm, wide open.

Friday Finds!

It's officially SPRING!!! What better way to kick off the new season than to 'springify' your home with some fresh new pillows! These come to you from joom. She is an artist from the San Francisco Bay area. I love her store! I love the colors, I love the big, bold graphics she uses. These are just fantastic! In her store, she also offers graphic wall art, bags, cards...check her out! Click on the photos to go directly to these listings...

erin garrison design is NOW erin garrison studio!

I've decided to change things up a bit!  erin garrison design is now....erin garrison studio!  Same great services, now with a better name!  I know, the awesomeness is mind-boggling!  My Etsy store will still operate under erin garrison design, but the other aspects of my business will now be called erin garrison studio.

I've been thinking about a name change for awhile now.  When I first started this, my focus was on the graphics portion of the business, but I have since expanded to include all sorts of photography services.  I thought the word 'design' did not encompass the photography portion, which has sort of taken over and become the largest portion!  I considered erin garrison photo+design, but that's too much of a mouthful!  I thought studio summed everything up pretty well.  So here it is, erin garrison studio.

And, for putting you through all of this trouble, my gift to you is a photo of one of my bulldogs!  Enjoy!!!

Friday Finds!

It's Friday Finds time! Would you look at how beautiful this 'box' is! I say 'box', because that word does not do these creations justice. This piece is brought to you by Jim Jenkins, a theatre designer/technical director-turned woodworking artist. I think he made a great 'career change'! When you stop by his store, be sure to read his profile, I got a kick out of it! I love things like this, it would make a great jewelry box, or a very handsome place to keep all of those little 'things' that you don't want to get lost in your junk drawer but that need a home.
