Friendship

Today I’m featuring the delightful watercolor illustrations of Caitlin McGauley.

Her bright colors and simple subjects are fun and refreshing and a reflection of a girl who revels in purchasing a new paint color as much as new shoes!

Caitlin McGauley offers her works through her website, private commissions, and causes close to her heart. I also love seeing her illustrations over at Kate Spade’s website, Lonny, and Daily Candy.

“Friendship”

That’s the title of my post today because Caitlin’s work is reminding me of someone special. A friend who I’ve come to know through blogging.  Imagine that!

Actually there are many bloggers who will tell you that they too are delighted to call her a friend.

She’s famous for the stories she writes about people, places and things. She really pulls you in & is known for occasionally pulling your leg which you don’t realize until “The End!”

These days she writes her stories in her cozy cottage far, far away but remains close to us in all the “social” ways. We’re still trying to get the girl on Skype but she’s always off touring castles on the Scottish Highlands with her Kilted husband!

I’m happy to report though that she made her way back to the States just in time to celebrate the holidays & her birthday with her fabulous friends and family!

 She’s a stylish & sophisticated one who remains true to form.

And no matter where she is, she remains close to all of our bloggy hearts.

Happy Birthday Duchess!

 

Be sure to visit Caitlin McGauley at her website and blog where she’s happy to show you her sketchbook!

And by all means, be sure to visit my dear “Duchess” Deb Peterson Milne at her blog where she pens all those wonderful stories I was telling you about ~
