Butterflies

I saw a yellow butterfly today...I was driving when it fluttered by my windshield. After my aunt abd my mother died, I would see a yellow butterfly and a black one with orange accents fly around me when I sat outside at the cottage. It was reassuring because I always felt like they were watching over me. I started a series of butterflies recently...mixed media...all different. Dolly Parton recently passed away and I noticed the butterfly was associated with Dolly. I thought that was ironic that they both coincided at the same time. Here are a few from my collection:

Ritaknightdesigns.etsy.com

My Etsy Shop has undergone a complete Re-branding this summer. We are not only continuing to offer the 18k Gold-Plated Collection but have added designer costume jewelry from the 1920's through the 1980's. Most of these are signed by the designer. The quality of these pieces has withstood the test of time...pearls, sterling, gemstones and more! Most are from Palm Beach as well as estate sales. The shipping is always free. Here are some of my favorite pieces. Check out the shop to find more. ritaknightdesigns.etsy.com

Whimsical Ladies

This summer was super hot...90's most days with very little breeze! It was a good time to add to my Whimsical Women Collection. Here are some of my favorite additions.

Special Exhibition for Trish Jones

We had a wonderful turn-out for the opening reception for Trish Jones. Trish lived in Madison for many years before relocating to Fernandina Beach, FL. So many old friends attended her Special Exhibition, Peak Summer.

Home Decor Ideas

As we travel this summer or it could be in our own town, we find inspiration for art as well as home decor ideas. This outing was to Madison Markets right here in downtown Madison, Georgia. Color welcomes you as you enter The Market. These are just some of the items that caught my attention that particular day.
