I'm in the garden with Michelle Masters

There are three items
that are always a must in my garden.

No.1 
Wellies

No. 2
Beautiful Flowers
and
No. 3
Gracie

As you may or may not know,
Gracie now authors a facebook page,
The Gracie Porter Collection
& when I saw this new topiary painted by artist friend Michelle Masters, I had to contact her!
"Whaaaaat"
was her immediate reaction and before I knew it,
 her two Labs were over for a visit!
I first met Michelle two years ago.
It all started with a "tweet".
And this weekend I'm so happy to be in the garden again with her & her incredible
Topiary Art!
Michelle's clever images are clean, simple, uncluttered and well designed. Her topiary line is whimsical and fun & is based around a casual upscale style.

They are a perfect gift idea for dog lovers!
Meet Chloe & Weezie.
Their mom just recently received Michelle's "Puglet" design on notecards as a gift from a friend.
Boy was she excited!
Michelle works in watercolor, pastels, and oils.
Her attention to quality & detail in everything that she creates, translates beautifully onto stationary, linen guest towels, lavender sachets, and pillows.
Wouldn't you love to curl up with this handsome boy?
You can.
Animal lovers, gardeners, and numerous organizations have come to appreciate her original art & custom topiary designs.
Michelle Masters offers custom illustrations, private labeling for organizations, and artwork licensing.
Some of her clients include;
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Foundation
and the
John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.

  21. Thank you so much for my gold star!! You are too kind! I apologize for my tardy response...pregnancy brain has officially kicked in and blogging, running my own biz and being a wife has me a little frazzled. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!
