One of my very favorite artists, @emily_jeffords, has started a monthly fine art collectors club by mail. June is my first month and it is focused on finding inner peace and the value of a life full of pleasure. 

For $12 a month, it includes beautiful artwork titled “When She Smiles”, a letter full of thoughts, a touch of perfume of the month to inspire your senses, affirmation or poetry of the month, and a curated music playlist. One day, I have a dream to actually own an original piece but for now these small prints will do. 

I framed this month’s artwork and took it to work to join the other framed pieces I have in my cubicle. Why have an ugly cubicle?

Hey y'all! I'm Karen, a Gulf Coast of Florida based purveyor of Southern sass. I'm an Indiana Jones & Anthony Bourdain wannabe. I'm introverted and usually found with my nose in a book and pen/pencil in hand. I'm addicted to yoga, lip gloss, dumplings, and have an intense love for Scotland and Paris.
