If Your'e Going To Make A Statement…. Make It Count!

I mentioned in my last post that we would soon be carrying another artist at Mulberry!

Well here she is! Aren't her hand picked botanicals simply stunning?

We cannot wait for ours to arrive this week!

We searched high and low to pick out the exact ones we wanted…we wanted the botanicals the we chose to make a statement…and have that "wow" factor! 

Becky assured me that they will and I am inclined to trust her incredible eye for detail!

The first time I ever saw Becky's work I was hooked! "She had me from hello", you might say! 

Especially when you hear her beautiful southern accent! It just brings South Carolina immediately to my mind and I can see her in her beautiful surroundings picking each and every one of these pieces! 

Each fern, each flower, each leaf, each and every piece of grass is carefully chosen by Becky and then preserved and mounted and made into something so lovely that all of us can appreciate it. 

We have had many an antique botanical print in my shop but nothing as wonderful as these are! I'm so very excited to be officially carrying Becky Davis Botanicals!

For our first order we chose a grouping of ferns and then at Becky's suggestion added a fragrant water lily!

 I truly cannot wait for them to arrive! 

While I'm selfishly head over heals in love with the grasses that she does…I felt like the ferns were a no brainer for an antique shop! They mix so well with anything! 

I am hoping that our order will arrive either tomorrow or Thursday…as soon as it does you can bet I will be showing you some pictures once we have them hung! 

Yes, it really is the little things that make me happy!

Hope all of you have been a great week so far! We had such a great time in New Orleans with our daughter and her husband! What a joy it was to get to see her 2nd grade classroom and meet the kids, the teachers, the principal, etc, and of course they were all singing Holly's praises and could not have been more complimentary of the job she is doing! More importantly, Holly is loving every minute of it and truly adores each and every student! I wish she'd been my teacher!

(truth be told…she teaches me with her joyful spirit every day!)

Mulberry's Newest Artist….Melissa Payne Baker

Sometimes you just can't help yourself! You get so excited about something that you want to shout it from the rooftops! You want everyone else to be as excited as you are! This is  most definitely one of those times! I'm super excited about our newest artist joining Mulberry Heights Antiques! 

Melissa Payne Baker

Just look at her beautiful hand-painted wine glasses!
She paints these for Saks and is also bringing them with her to our Open House! How fun is that?

Have you ever?

I mean seriously….she was voted #1 Artist in Atlanta in 2011 and 2012 with Jezebel Magazine. 

You can get the feel of just how great Melissa's art is just by these press releases. I mean, seriously….she has had her work in the High Museum of Art! 
What I really loved was the "Blonde Bombshell" articles! Being a blonde myself! ( can we say…living vicariously?)

I am more than honored and pleased to announce that she is officially joining our team today!

She is also our featured artist for this year's Open House on October 18th! And I'm sure you can see why when you look at her fabulous paintings!

 

Take a look at this bio of Melissa….I have a feeling you will fall head over heels in love with her work…just like we did!

After all was said and done and Melissa I talked several times and emailed more than that, we discovered that we are both from the same small area in Memphis….and our parents went to the same High School! What a small, small world!! I have a feeling this will be a great fit for us! And I've definitely made a sweet friend!

We sure would love to have you as our guest at the Open House! We always have the best time! We will have three fabulous artists along with my friends that created Old Clutch that I told you about  a while back. You can see that HERE.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend! We may have our third artist's work in sometime next week as well so I will definitely keep you posted! 

New Emyo's Are Here!

New Emyo's Have Arrived!

Normally we wait with great anticipation when we get the notice from Emily that she is sending paintings our way or better yet, bringing them herself! However, yesterday as we were eating lunch and laughing about something silly…( we seem to do that a lot lately!) and I happened to see an email that I had missed somehow from Emily saying that her assistant was on the way and would be there shortly! This was almost better because I don't like to wait! So this was instant Emyo's and it was fun!

Here they are…hope you enjoy! Check out our website for more information or just give us a call!
