In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I want to express my gratitude to so many of you who have supported me on my small business journey. I'm so grateful to be able to create art and share the beauty in life and I couldn't do it without the support of those of you who follow, comment, like, and buy from Birds and Berry Studio. When you shop handmade, you're not only getting a one of a kind product, yo...

I've mentioned before that my soul shrivels up a little inside when I see bare walls in a house (maybe an exaggeration, but you get the idea). Not to say that every wall should be jam packed with clutter, but a little tasteful art on the walls makes a house feel cozy and lived in, and a little more like a home.

I've been mulling over some thoughts for a while now about the culture of comparison we live in. I've gone through many ups and downs in this business journey and here are a few things I've learned ab...

I have a lot a random places you can purchase my art and designs. Why, you ask? Good question, and I'm about to drop a good answer (or at least an adequate answer).

Hopefully this might make the shopping experience a little more simple for you. I know, this probably isn't the most exciting post ever, but stick with me if you want some new fun opportunities to do a little shopping.
