Ready for Spring!

Hello everyone! It's time for some updates I'd say...the past month has definitely been very exciting for my small business! 

The month of February brought a lot of snow fall to NC causing me to unfortunately miss some days of tutoring and teaching.  That unexpected time off from work, however, brought the blessing of being able to update my etsy shop, do some more painting, make some new connections and sales, and design a new logo! 

For those of you who don't know, I've grown up with the nickname "Bee" from my family and closest friends. Although I'm rather allergic to bees, I've always enjoyed collecting bee things and they've just kind of "buzzed" their way into my life :)  Bees are also the most perfect combination to add to my love of flowers and painting flowers, so the name just fits! Let me know what you all think of the new logo, I'm excited to slowly but surely begin using it more in my business endeavors. 

In case you haven't seen the newest paintings and items up for sale in my Etsy shop, here's a look at them all! The snow days were good to me as they inspired me to look forward to the beautiful spring days that I'm sure are on their way! 

"Be Always Blooming" 

"Spring Floral"

"Grateful Heart" 

(This has become one of my personal favorites!)

"Inspire, Dream"

And a fun new set of greeting cards! 

I was also able to spend some time writing my about me page on Etsy.  I believe it's very important for buyers to be able to know the artist they are purchasing from.  Good connections are always imperative :)

Tomorrow I'm heading up to Lincolnton, NC to participate in their annual downtown Art Crawl.  I am beyond excited! Such a sweet opportunity and I am so grateful to be able to participate. I'll be located in a wonderful floral/gift shop called the Salty Petal. I think that my art will fit right in there :)

Also, I will be participating in a "blog hop" collaboration next week with a blogger that I just adore- Bonnie Christine!  Check back for a fun project using her gorgeous fabrics and ribbons next Friday! 

After the Art Crawl this weekend, I will have some new paintings and notecards to add to my etsy shop so be on the lookout for some exciting updates :)
