Chateau My Melli ~ Hoot N' Anny Home

               And...Fire, Ready, Aim!  Kaboom!   I waved my wand and "poof" we're in the new house, I have a new Studio space...and already, puzzle piece's that've  so very long been absent, have begun to sneak into their proper places.   I've somewhat drifted into the enchanting air that has encompassed this house.     It's completely intoxicating.   While getting up in the morning is easy,  forcing myself to leave  has become ridiculously difficult. 
               There is a shop my sister discovered, one truly unique in it's atmosphere.  It's an antique shop...but there is no clutter.  There is a sense of something wonderful that calls silently to you the moment you open the door.  It's fantastically creative, yet it's one hundred percent logical, and every piece, every display, each table top is perfectly functional.  The kicker here, is the owner.  This woman is like a fairy godmother...   She can literally wave a wand, snap her fingers, say boo, and in ten minutes, she'll either completely transform your space, or tell you exactly how it can be done.  Your style, your desire, and even your budget.   She's creatively witty and quicker on her toes than a cheetah.  She just moves.  She's stealthy in her calm ways.  Things all of a sudden look different but more so, the entire space, from a tiny bathroom to a giant ballroom, will feel different.  The mood is different.  It's soothing, yet workable.  It's been said that artists look like their subjects.  They bare a resemblance of sorts.  They bring forward their own energy into whatever it is they are using it toward.  When Jennifer uses this outrageous talent, naturally,  the air will feel  different.  Better.  More relaxed.  You will feel and be, more composed, more capable, and more productive.   The most fun part is the glow you'll absentmindedly carry around with you.  It's truly like magic has happened.     So, I bought one book from her, and went back every day for the next three weeks.  It's like a sweet siren this store.  You should absolutely take a peek.  www.HootNannyHome.com is the site.  The store is in Southern California, so if your around, give Jennifer a call, and see...Trust me.  ;)  (818) 575-9011.
Below is a handful of photos.  The first set are a combination of pieces from Hoot N Anny and yours truly.




This second set is just a handful of sketches I felt like sharing... Also the first few I've done in my new Studio.



The next handful are just me...before, during and after the move.  :)
First one...ok deep breath...
Next one, I'm almost done packing...So close!
And last one, I'm here!  Totally wiped out...not nearly done unpacking...pre-Jennifer :)
On that Pearl of wisdom...Good night, Dream sweetly, Good morning, it's ten after four here...oops.
Quite Kindly, Meliss
