Welcome to day #7 lovelies!
Today we are introducing you to a savvy photographer...
Kimberly has this amazing ability to transcend you into another world with her art.
Looking at her photography is like finding peace, summoning relaxation, and escaping the chaos for a moment.
Not only is she a talented photographer, she creates gorgeous linen pieces as well.
Her art makes gorgeous gifts for a girlfriend, family member, prints for a baby's room, or even an elegant hostess gift.
We are so lucky to have Kimberly featured here today!
Getting to know a little more about Kimberly:{Linen Necklace with Cream Ruffle Ribbon ~ $44.00}
1. My favorite holiday tradition is waking up first thing Christmas morning, going downstairs in our pajamas - just my husband and I with our four boys. After we grab our big cups of coffee and mugs of cocoa for the boys, we sit around in the living room opening stockings and gifts. We keep it very simple - not a lot of gifts but a number of thoughtful items chosen for each recipient. I love that we take turns going through our stockings and enjoy those few hours before the wonderful chaos of Christmas day with family begins!Looking at her photography is like finding peace, summoning relaxation, and escaping the chaos for a moment.

2. I love the idea of supporting handmade as I think there is so much more value in something that someone took the time to create by hand. There is something special about knowing that you have a one of a kind piece~

3. I love the prints because lately I have been collecting prints from my favorite photographers and hanging them from a wire with clips in my work space. They totally inspire me! I love no frames - just art, hung simply.
4. When Kim was asked to describe her store in three words, she said: Inspired, textured, simplified

oh I just adore Kimberly! so creative and the way you described her photography is spot on!! I love her linen necklaces, but her photography is so special as well!!
I absolutely love "autumn orange on books" this image gives me warm fuzzies inside. My favorite season is fall and my favorite thing to do is curl up with a cup of hot tea and a good book. She captured this personal feeling for me in the simple image. Love it.
Love all her images and items! My fave is the Washed Away print. Great giveaway!

The linen headband with orange ribbon is fabulous!
I love Kim and her blog. She has wonderful style. I think I like the Linen necklace with cream the best. It would look smashing with my new Anthropologie sweater. Visit my blog and ETSY shop if you get a chance!

P.S. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed
I've been following Kimberly's blog for a few months now and can never get enough. She has a way with words that can capture your soul. Her shop is filled with so many lovelies it is hard to choose a favorite. Love the linen aprons and necklaces. "Washed Away" is my favorite print... who wouldn't want to get lost here?!
Thanks so much!!
My fave is the linen flower headband. So pretty! And I love the "Washed Away" print...
My favorite is the antique books with the orange/persimmon. It would look perfect in my home and hold alot of meaning. We have a persimmon tree on the back of our property, we watch the deer discover the fruit every Indian Summer and then we cut open a seed to predict the intensity of our winter in Oklahoma. This is a great giveaway from a wonderful artist! Thanks, Paula

I like the the persimmon on the books best, but her fabric flower pieces are fab too! - Amy Bauer amy@usdemolition.com
It is so hard to choose a favorite amongst all of Kimberly's beautiful images...but the washed away has always been at the top!
She is not only a very talented artist and inspirational woman, but a sensitive and caring friend! I too am a persimmon on the books girl but I most love her boat on the sand. I have just discovered that we share a love of non framed art too!!! And of course, I have discovered your blog! Wonderful. May your post bring her even more of the attention she deserves for her inspiring work and good on you for choosing it!
