Watermelon Fresh

Posted by om 0 comments







Nothing says 'summer' more than an icy cold watermelon :- perfect on it's own straight from the fridge or equally good chopped up in a fruit salad, cubed for fruit skewers (always a hit with the kids) or simply sliced into wedges for a garnish. If you've got guests have a bit of fun and scoop out balls of watermelon flesh from a halved watermelon with a melon baller. Then tidy up the inside of the watermelon so it's nice and clean. Make extra balls of honey dew melon and canteloupe so you have colourful mix of red, orange and green then pop them back into the hollow watermelon for a colourful, healthy summer treat!

Creativity by the Sea! Sign up now!

Posted by om 0 comments
We couldn't be more excited about this forthcoming event...right here at the Jersey Shore. We really wanted to create a couple of projects that were dimensional. I guess our minds were on wall space...we had run out...and we were thinking of art pieces that could be displayed in other ways...on table tops, cake stands, heck...even worn on your head.
And more than just that. We are mainly painters and it feels good to change it up and make something you can hold. I guess you're using all the same parts of the brain but just twisting things a bit.


You may remember that I blogged about this event a while back. Please go check out all the details and some pics of beautiful Ocean Grove, New Jersey on this post. You couldn't pick a better location. And there are too too many excellent classes to choose from...I'd be gushing about this event even if we had absolutely nothing to do with it. Our friend Kecia Deveney will be there teaching soldering...Jane Wynn is creating found object jewelry...you can create boardwalk memories with Michelle Bernard...and dark chocolate and dreamy cheesecake with Chef Oleg Scorpan.

We've got lots of peeps already on board and we're prepping for a fantastic turnout. Ocean Grove is the sweetest little Victorian town by the sea and it's so darn close to where we live. I'm sitting here on a rainy cold day and I keep clicking the tab to see my previous post about this retreat...all the pics of the OG flea market...the pastel painted ladies...it's all bringing a bit of sunshine into the studio. I really hope you guys can make it...bring your sunshine to the Jersey Shore.
xoxo, Jenny
