oday is Mosaic Monday, and Mary from Little Red House, is hosting this lovely day.
I have known Celeste from Celestina Marie Designs since I began blogging three years ago. I admire her beautiful painting and love visiting her blog to see what she has decorated next.
Recently she had a giveaway, and I won. I love pretty things and sometimes even when I am in the middle of creating I will glance over and love all the pretty things together.
I placed Celeste's lovely packages on the table where I was working, so that I could photograph the packages before I unwrapped them.
When I opened up the first one, I was so thrilled. I love the way Celeste paints roses, especially pink ones. Now I have one and I can't wait to find the perfect frame.
I opened up the next package to discover the perfect book. Delight in The Details by Lisa M. Pace. Here is the link to the book, if you would like to have a peek inside. Every page is filled with wonderful creative ideas.
Thank you Celeste, I love my beautiful pink rose and this new book will be the source of much inspiration.
Celeste paints furniture, ceramics, canvases and even ornaments for the White House. I think she can paint on anything, perhaps she could even...Paint The Sky With Stars, just like the lyrics seranade. Wishing you a wonderful Mosaic Monday.
Lovely Pinkness and she is an amazing artist!!!
Celeste does do beautiful work, and how lucky that you won such lovely things! The book looks very interesting, it isn't one I have heard of but I would love to see inside:>) Have a great week Karen!
Celeste is very talented indeed. It's no surprise that you have found one another in Blogland. Your mosaics are always uniquely delightful, never pedestrian.
Very pretty mosaic!
You are very lucky, the painted rose is absolutely wonderful. I hope you have a wonderful week and take care:)
Her work is lovely! Happy Monday!
Absolutely beautiful

What beautiful treasures you received. I enjoyed doing some catch up on your blog. Karen, your work just gets better and better. So beautiful. One of your little paintings is sitting just inches from me as I type.
Blessings,

Hi Karen,
Oh I love our mosaics and thrilled to be apart of your creating. It was a joy to have you participate and win. I am so blessed by your words and kindness. You have been a kindred spirit from the start and I will always treasure our friendship.
Thank you for being a inspiring part of what makes blogging for me so special.
Loved being apart of your Mosaic Monday.
Enjoy and have a great week.
Big Hugs, Celestina Marie
Lucky you! What wonderful treasures. I am all signed up for designed for Design Academy this Friday. My last few weeks have been insane. Can't wait to relax in a fabulous art class. See you there. Maybe we can plan something fun.
Hi, Very lovely things! I hope that you have a wonderful new week!
hugs...

Congratulations Karen. You made beautiful mosaics of your prizes. laurie
Karen, this is a world that is so refined and mellow. Your home is notches above my own, but no matter....your style is professional in quality and you have the right resources to create the MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS! BRAVO and thank you for this lovely post and imagery! Anita
Oh dearest, what a joy to see your comment! Yes, let's pretend that this IS FRANCE...I do it all the time chez moi; my little stone cottage is our French get-away in Minneapolis. I am so fortunate as well to work with dear French people who I just think the world of. I have a fab colleague who is just elegant, ornery at the same time, witty and kind and the best teacher. Her and I love to dance in the hallways, she laughs with me and she even has dark features like me; she is from Nice. So, I live and love my French dreams always. Thank you for coming to indulge in my blue heaven. Don't you just love that blue budgie? :)
