Bobs and Bits is Closed for the Holidays!

Bobs and Bits is now closed for the holidays, but will re-open on Monday, January 4th. I've had the privelege of making many special gifts for many special children this season. It gives me great pleasure to imagine my creations underneath someone's tree or arriving to someone's home in a big box for them to open. These are the gifts that people remember, the ones that they keep forever as keepsakes. A heartfelt thanks to my customers for their trust (or leap of faith) in their purchases. See you in January!

Holiday Trunk Sale in Mid-City

Last chance to snag hand painted Christmas goodies by Bobs and Bits! This has been a very busy holiday season for sales, despite my not participating in many markets or trunk shows, but there are still some items left. There will be a two step Saints step stool, several one step step stools, a potty chair, bird mobile, a growth chart and some photo frames. And, how can I forget, the Versailles-inspired yellow side chair! I will also be taking orders for non-Christmas items.

This trunk show will be a laid back, home-based party atmosphere. From what I understand, most of the other participants are graphic designers. There is even a rumor that there will be handmade Drew Brees wrapping paper (although I can't confirm that). Come out and say hello. Support New Orleans artists and artisans. There will be food and drink as well...

The Hand Painted Rocking Horse Has Made Its Debut!

This design is a modern take on the classic heirloom rocking horse and makes a wonderful holiday gift. The shape and style are traditional, but the colors are fresh and modern (a vibrant, gender neutral scheme), combining the best of both worlds. Available for purchase in both my main and Etsy shops.

EtsyBABY is Having its Annual Holiday Hunt!

The Versailles inspired Chair is Almost Complete!

It's been a long time coming (since summer, actually), but this design is almost complete. I searched high and low for the perfect fabric, then the perfect balance of sunny, lemony yellow with "gilded ornateness." A chair fit for royalty!

Modern Handmade Child has hit the stands (well, sort of)!

The Winter Edition of Modern Handmade Child is out now -- & Bobs and Bits has been featured in the Holiday Gift Guide section. This is the second edition of a new online publication created by EtsyKids & features many talented artisans who make products just for kids. Take a peek -- & maybe do a little Christmas shopping too.

Bobs and Bits is the featured artisan in the EtsyBABY Sunday Spotlight today!

Ok, so the blog has been a little neglected lately. Not being lazy, just not much going on outside of the norm. Maybe I just needed a little jumpstart.

Check me out in the EtsyBABY Sunday Spotlight today. : )
