Why we love it:
Margaritas, anyone? Love this fun new ornament from the whimsical mind of popular artist, Leigh Standley. It puts us in a sun-drenched beach state of mind! It reads, "Life is far too short not to have a little umbrella in your drink."

A little about the artist:
Sometimes Mom really does know best. The inspiration behind this artists wonderful, whimsical and wildly popular art was her Mom's advice. Although Leigh had her sites set on being a Bob Evans waitress at the tender age of 7, (hey, she really liked the outfits!), and for college was offered a full theater conservatory scholarship, she really found her calling in Art School at her Mom's urging.
"I firmly believe in the magic of everyday things and try to pay attention to the small moments," she explains.
After being laid off as a successul Art Director after the 9/11 tragedy, Leigh threw her energy into really living her creative passion, creating her witty and empowering line of stationery, wall art, magnets, journals and so much more. We discovered her work last year, and have celebrated her meteoric rise to success by continually adding her new work in our gallery. We especially love her new glass plates that just arrived!
