Like most weeks, my studio is a busy place. I would not have it any other way. The need to create is great and I know those of you that design, in all your talented categories, agree. Don't you feel like there is never enough hours in the day to design all the creative treasures you envision when you dream? Each new day brings something new to discover. Sometimes a treasure starts out one way and ends in another. Sometimes, I have to study a piece for awhile as I work on something else. Gazing over at the lonely item waiting for a redesign as I try and imagine, what should you be? How do you see yourself? What sort of new life do you desire in the cottage, shabby, romantic world that I will try to place you in? Who's cottage home will you grace? I just know you want to make someone very special smile. Give a small joy or fill a need for a decorative finish! Team together with other decorative treasures from other artists to achieve that certain cottage look. One never knows how the story will end until the final brush stroke is complete.
I guess these thoughts keep me returning every morning to my cozy cottage studio. So thankful to be blessed in this life to practice an art form that I love. Like my Father once said to me, "Find what you love to do in life, and you will never work another day." So tomorrow, God willing, I will rise again. Get ready for the studio, in which Miss Beazy and I will open the door to another day, another painting adventure and hopefully another dream!
See you again soon ~~ Have a great and blessed day~ Celestina
Here are a few of the new treasures past and present.

Hi Sweet Celeste!
Love your new banner and all of your painted treasures! You described how I feel also, about creating and painting my treasures. So now, I need to get my new room started and ready for me to create in!
How are you?
Have a great day! Love ya...Lorena
I love the way you paint. I always look forward to your blog. I'd love to see your clocks someday. Thanks for stopping by mine. Hugs back to you.
Just lovely Celestina...I really like all your new items, you have indeed been busy.
I would have to agree with you also, there do not seem to be enough hours in the day sometimes.
Your writing is so wonderful. That is exactly how I feel! Your banner and all your goodies are so beautiful...off I go...the need to create is calling me! Laurie
Celeste, again, I just love your site. I have added it to my favs. I love all your rose painted items, but that colander is just too cute!
Hi Celeste! What a beautiful job you did of describing your outlook each day! I'm sure that is very much the key to your talent & success! Your beauties never cease to amaze me. Today's post is an especially wonderful treat of eye candy.

Your Art is Beautiful! I just Love pink Roses. I have them everywhere in our home. My Hubby is such a good sport. He Loves our home even though it is a bit "pink"!! LOL!!
You are an amazing talent!

Celeste, I love how you can paint on all kinds of surfaces. You can turn the most simple vessel into a lovely treasure. I know what you mean about creating, even when I am embracing things around me I feel as though an idea is being born. Many times I begin to create something and it takes on a life of it's own. These are the best creations, because I feel led, full of joy and although my hands are doing the creating, I know that this lovely Creative Muse is just visiting. Your father was a very wise man, and I love what he said. Your creations are gorgeous. I wish we lived nearby to each other and we could share ideas over tea. Blessings, karen

I Love your site! So inspiring!
Sweet Greetings Celestina! I agree with Amy, your lunch box is adorable! Of course, so are all of your "pretties". You describe me so well as you speak to your pieces. I look forward to my days in my studio, last night I spent hours playing, then slept for two hours, then back up again. My latest treasure keeps speaking to me! lol.. I love what your father said, it is so true, this isn't work.. it's sheer heaven!

Olá Celestina!
Fiquei muito feliz com a sua visita e venho espreitar as maravilhas que estão por aqui!
Estou encantada com as sus cores, as flores...tudo tão bonito!
Gostei de ver que, muitas vezes debaixo das suas lindas pinturas há lindos e delicados trabalhos em crochet.
Tenha uma boa semana!
