REMEMBER, IF IT IS CREATED BY HAND, IT COMES FROM THE HEART®

Thank You Paige

Years come and years go and nothing stays the same forever. But before last year can end and this year can begin I must say thank you to those who created such a social media presence for WHERE WOMEN CREATE. Paige walked into my office at the beginning of WWCreate and both advised and convinced me that I needed to catch-up to what was happening on the web and that she was the one that could help … and she was so right. She has created a community of creative and passionate women that is enviable by anyone’s standards.

Paige has decided that 2012 is a year for change, for focusing on her brand, and for trying something “new”. She has become such an important part of WWCreate on-line that she will be missed each and every day. I admire her passion, I appreciate her knowledge, and I cherish her friendship.

I wish her a future filled with close friends, much happiness, and continued success.

Debbie Murray and Shea Fragoso~

A Gilded Life

 

The mother-daughter design team of Debbie Murray and Shea Fragoso has been collaborating in creative ways for as long as both can remember. When Shea was growing up, Debbie taught stained glass classes in the community college system and owned a custom design business and fine art painting studio. When Shea finished school, they owned gift shops together in Southern California. Shea became a highly sought-after jewelry designer; her creations appeared in dozens of fashion magazines and graced the red carpet several times. Both women designed products for the gift industry and sold pieces to collectors around the world. In 2009, Debbie and Shea completed a major remodeling of a gothic church in Dallas, Texas. Here, they indulged in their love of crowns and European design and were constantly inspired by the architecture and the light.

Charlotte Lyons

 

 

Charlotte Lyons designs and makes things in a variety of styles and media. Still inspired by the humble simplicity of traditional art and craft and the inventive use of repurposed materials, Charlotte aims to mix an unfussy playfulness with the vintage charm of handmade keepsakes. 

Over the years, her work has been featured in her books (Mothers and Daughters at Home, Between Friends), those with Mary Engelbreit and Barbara Martin and also in magazines such as Country Living, Victoria, Woman’s Day, Better Homes and Gardens, Mollie Makes and Mary Engelbreit’s Home Companion. Currently, she designs for her Etsy shop, licensing and teaches workshops nationally. Her new fabric collection, Walnut Hill Farm, recently debuted with Blend Fabrics at International Quilt Market.

 Born and educated in St. Louis, Charlotte raised three artistic daughters in a bright pink house in Chicago. Now she and her husband live in the lower Hudson River Valley of New York, happy to have their girls (and their guys) nearby.
