Stay Cool with Summer Soups: 15+ Recipes to Enjoy on A Hot Day

I love soups. They can have a lot of complex flavor while also being nutritious and healthy and can be thrown together with lots of leftover ingredients. I seriously miss having soup regularly in the summertime. Especially since I live in Florida, having a hot soup is just sometimes not feasible. So here is a […]

How to Live The Flamingo Life |Incorporating Flamingos Into Your Everyday Life

Flamingos have become pretty elemental to my life. It all started with a small Christmas joke that has launched to having flamingos at all of my major life events – wedding, showers, baby attire, decor, clothing, tattoo, etc… Flamingos are interesting birds. They mate for life, raise their young, and have a brilliant color due […]

Congratulations and best wishes to the Mr. and Mrs.!!! Rosie and Drew, it was an honor and a pleasure to work with you! I absolutely loved your joie de vivre, old-souled-selves, and clear, deep love for each other. Thank you for allowing The Olive Shoe to be a special part of your big day! (And your wedding venue is near and dear to my heart! 💓) #weddings #downtownanderson #bespokeweddings #andersonsc #designer #customart #folkartist #rosiesaysidrew #congratulations #bestwishes

Last year I had so much fun creating a digital version of Sophia the Swaggin’ Wagon, a mobile boutique. Recently, my friend Stephanie over at @shopsmoore bought a building on N. Main Street in @downtownanderson to establish a permanent storefront for her popular boutique. OF COURSE she needed a digital version of the building, too, to expand her branding!!! We’re so thrilled for entrepreneur friends as they grow!!! What a fun project and milestone to get to help celebrate!!! Congratulations Smoore Designs on your expansion! #logo #digitalart #shopsmoore #swagginwagon #downtownanderson #andersonsc #shopsmall #shoplocal #designer

So excited for my friends over at @fostersmainevents who have been working hard to restore a beautiful old building in @downtownanderson - I created this logo for them based on an old window treatment that bore the beehive image. When I first walked through the building and saw the shade, I told them, “THAT should be your logo.” It bears sentimentality, replicability, history, and is easily converted to a 1 color image. I took a photo of the shade and used to create the graphic. Hop on over to @thebeehivesc and see what they are up to as they begin a great adventure! I know the beehive will BEE 🐝 a great addition to downtown Anderson! #downtownanderson #logodesign #designer #smallbusiness #shoplocal #andersonsc

Busy lives means we might have to adapt and adjust...we started “Sunday Summits” once a month a little over two years ago as a way to bounce ideas off of each other, brainstorm out loud, and keep ourselves accountable for the goals we set in our businesses and even some personal ones. Sometimes we meet for 4 hours with an agenda and a plan, sometimes we just squeeze in just an hour and a half in a coffee shop downtown... In these two years, we’ve faced some serious personal hardships, beautiful highs, and learned a lot about ourselves and watched our businesses and plans for them evolve. I’m so thankful for this lady - every creative entrepreneur should have a buddy/accountability partner to help them stay on track and provide an honest sounding board. Today is a good day to ask yourself: Who’s on my team? They will celebrate with you, tell you the truth, support your dreams, tell you when those dreams can (and can’t) become reality, and laugh and cry with you all the way there. You need them. #creativeprocess #creativitycrusader #wearethecreativeeconomy #thisisentrepreneurship #ladyboss #bossbabe #bosslady #getcreative #cultivate #create #celebrate #creativeplanning #summitsundays #whosonyourteam #entrepreneurlife #creativepreneur

Happy 4th of July!! How are you celebrating today? 🇺🇸🙌💙

Four tiny (4”x4”) paintings for a tiny human’s “adventure” themed nursery. I was inspired, and on the back of each piece of art, under the backer board is a bible verse: Sky (balloons), “God called the vault ‘sky’. And evening passed and morning came, marking the second day.” Genesis 1:8; Redwood trees, “They are like trees planted by streams of water, which yields fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither — whatever they do prospers.” Psalm 1:13; Ocean, “This is what the Lord says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar — the Lord Almighty is his name.” Jeremiah 31:35; Mountains, “If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13:2. I may never meet this babe; the paintings were a gift from a client to a family member who lives in Texas, but I prayed for this child and their life ahead as I painted these. 🙏💗💙 I was speaking to a group of women earlier this year, and I answered a question, “Celebration is my ministry; paper is my method.” I didn’t even think about it, it just came out. I’m so thankful I get to celebrate so many special moments and milestones with people near and far through this work. It is truly an honor. 🙌🎨 Special thanks to @gallery313 for these custom mats. #celebrate #babyart #tinyhuman #nurserydecor #paperministry #artist #watercolor #adventure

Loved working on this wedding suite for Helen and Nick!
