What's your sign? Introducing my new zodiac collection. Gold, silver and midnight blue constellations adorn drinking coasters, bookmarks, posters and more! Pick up your sign tomorrow night from 5-9 @nova_art_studios Nova Nights. Views from our weekend hike on Sears Island. Located off the coast of Searsport ME, Sears Island ‐‐ known as Wassumkeag (shining beach) by the indigenous Wabanaki tribes ‐‐ is the largest undeveloped, uninhabited, causeway-accessible island on the eastern coast of the U.S. It may be fall but you can still send a flower garden to that special someone. Made entirely with lead printer's ornaments and borders, this pack of 6 assorted blank note cards is a sweet way to spread some cheer. It's spooky season and nothing is scarier than not remembering which drink is yours. My new Halloween coasters take the fright out of forgetting. Choose between the spooky critter pack or the scary sayings pack. Each set comes with 8 distinct designs so you never have to worry about who's drink is who's. Grab your pack at next week's @nova_art_studios Third Thursday event. Even though I am not usually in front of the camera, I still had a great visit from the super talented and fun @mattgphoto_bos 📸. I am excited to see how these shots came out. You'll have to wait till 🗓 November to find out what the pics are for 😊... but I promise it's something exciting! How are you spending your Sunday? I've been stuck on the couch for hours; held hostage by Max, the cutest cat in the world. Thank you to everyone who came out to @a_little_bazaar So excited about these new Little Boxes of Encouragement.
