I Art Downtown

Simply Beautiful is gearing up for I Art Downtown.  The event will be held on Saturday, June 5th.  We are excited to be surrounded by talented artists all day long!!!  Come down for a stroll along the creek and see beautiful, handmade work created by local craftsmen.  Then pop into my store to cool off with a glass of wine. 

Dreaming of Vacation....

I am currently sitting in my living room, surrounded by three walls of floor to ceiling windows looking out into the vast whiteness. The wind is sweeping the snow into funnels resembling a white, cold tornado. Snow creates a serene, beautiful setting but it also reminds me of death and lonlieness. Quiet. So in my mind I am dreaming of where in the world I would rather be at this moment.

Where do you dream to be?

A Wonderful Idea for Haitian Relief.....

I just wanted to forward this to my blog followers that are local to Frederick, MD or Rockville, MD.  O'Hair Salon is offering a wonderful deal for Sunday, February 14th from 10-3.  Please consider doing this.  Look beautiful and help out others on the day we all should share our love. 

Pretty Little Things....

I have been looking around Etsy for more artists to join forces with and I have found quite a few pretty things.

Check out these beautiful winter shots by Maria Kallin Photography. Maria notes that she loves colors, cannot live without colors. She tends to pay attention to the details that surround us each day (at least my boyfriend think so). She tries to create and convey relaxing and refreshing photos and she puts her heart + soul into her work.

I want this bag by HyperNoodle. It is called the Llandewi bag with zip closure. It is fashionable, bright coloring for spring and is handmade!

This is a coffee cozies by Pink Gasoline. The Gasoline Girls specialize in collaboration with Etsy buyers to create custom items for all ages, genders, and occasions using current high quality designer fabrics. These are a great idea to help reduce waste while drinking your favorite cup of joe.

The last one for this evening is a milk pourer by raedunn. This is such a beautiful piece. I would love to have this in my kitchen collection.

Simply Beautiful's Artist Appreciation Program

Simply Beautiful is starting a new program that features artists (near and far) and all things handmade. We here at SBB are big believers in handmade items. We want to help artists get their work out into the world so that the beauty they create can be appreciated by others. SBB is facilitating space and spotlighting a new artist each month for the year of 2010.

Starting February 6th (during the First Saturday Celebration) and continuing through the month of February, SBB will be hosting Mark Drew, Jr. Mark is a photographer who has taken beautiful pictures of downtown Frederick. Mark is a local resident of Frederick, MD and enjoys the downtown sites and sounds immensely. Capturing the visual gifts that downtown Frederick has to offer is his passion.

We are continually interviewing talent from all around the world. If you have a special gift and would like to share it, please contact us through email at shopsimplybeautiful@hotmail.com to schedule an interview.

What else is new at the store??? We currently have a full stock of Vera Bradley on our shelves and we are desperately awaiting the new spring arrivals set to ship on January 11th. You will love the new spring styles and patterns. We are also getting ready for our large assortment of Lilly Pulitzer Spring accessories and clothing. We can't wait to show it off.
