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.

Rita Knight Designs, Summer 2025

 Summer 2025 

Fishtales, a wonderful shop on Lake Oconee, is moving to a new location in September. Fishtales has carried my angels and mixed media collages for almost a year. They are THE location for the Lake Oconee area for brand-name clothing for men and women, Christian books, and gifts. Check out the new logo and the story behind this unique shop. I will be posting their new address soon. It is very close to their present location.

I participated in a class this summer with Michelle McKirahan from His Jewel Ministry. We hand-painted silk scarves. It was so much fun & inspirational!

   My 18K Gold-Plated Earrings continue to sell at MAGallery in downtown Madison...new designs are arriving now for the holiday season.
                    

My cottage studio was decorated for July 4th as well as the entire town of Madison, Georgia.  We have a new trolley that will be so much fun for tours and private events!

                 My display at MAGallery in July              

 I participated in the Madison Artists Guild Members' Exhibition, "Shades of Contrast" which will end on August 23, 2025. You still have a few days to drop by to view this Black & White Show. My mixed media work, "The Dress" is available for purchase.

                      


As we move into the fall season, I am glad to see this weather leave...it has been an extremely hot summer even for Georgia!

Please reach out if you have questions about any of the art or jewelry. You can purchase my work at MAGallery in downtown Madison, GA, Fishtales on Lake Oconee, and MWCA in Monroe, GA.
