About Me

Asbury Park, NJ, United States
My name is Jenny. I am an artist/designer from The New Jersey shore...about 45 mins from N.Y.C. Together with my boyfriend/best friend/partner in crime (Aaron) I have been designing and painting furniture and home accessories for over 16 years! Our designs have graced the pages of some of our favorite magazines such as Country Living, Country Home, Woman's Day decorating ideas, Design New Jersey, Romantic Homes, Somerset Studio, Somerset Life, Where Women Cook, and The New York Times Magazine. As well as published in Country Living's Merry And Bright, and Tara Frey's Blogging For Bliss and Cheryl & Griffith Day's Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook. We have been lucky enough to work with some of the most amazing designers and decorators in the Tri state area, and beyond, and have earned a long list of celebrity clients! Our apt is filled to the brim with all things vintage bakery and Holiday. I try to bake as often as my pocket book will allow! Oh...and I am addicted to vintage paper mache rabbits! REALLY!

Road trip recap, Halloween goodies and our Swag Bag Winners!!


Hey kids!

My goodness it has been just non stop busyness since we got back from MN. So much going on all at one time. We're catching up with everything that was put on pause before we left and now that we're back we're already preparing to leave again for our Art is You trip. This means getting our class details all finalized...and making sure that we've got some good stuff for the vendor market. And by good stuff, I mean Halloween stuff, which you can see some sneak peeks of below. But first I wanted to close out the Creative Connection chapter. To start with, a little slide show of our journey home. Now these aren't your usual travel pics...I'd call these "road" pics...literally. I snapped most all of these out of the passenger side window, sometimes while we were going like 70mph...so don't expect perfectly composed landscapes...these are more like glimpses of the American roadside between Minnesota and New Jersey.




Next, I've got a video here announcing our Creative Connection Swag Bag winners. Please excuse our sleepy headed selves...it's a late night for us now that we're back on a semi normal schedule.

(don't forget to pause the blog music before watching...way down at the bottom of this page)





And lastly, as I mentioned up top...here are a couple new Halloween designs. We're excited about these because they're inspired by all of the Art Journaling I've been doing. I'm just so psyched about our new line of original Art Journal stickers...AND our Art Journaling class that we'll be teaching at Art is You...which is just days away!! and it's not to late to decide to come! so sign up! even if it's just for one class...you will not regret it.


So, lot's more Halloween stuff is in the works...hope to post it soon. AND I'm dying to finish some more of these sticker sheets that we've got in progress. They are my absolute FAVE new thing! ok, that's it for now...thanks so so much for stopping by AND for participating in the giveaway. Congrats to the winners! Look forward to a HUGE giveaway coming really soon!

xoxo, Jenny

As a Midwest girl I love that you took pictures of the cheese! And the fireworks! That punk rock bakery looks amazing - and I, too, am fascinated by those parking towers in Chicago. Thanks for sharing!!
