Bookmarks Are Here!

And now, new for spring, Artism by Nick offers beautiful bookmarks!

These bright, cheerful and durable bookmarks will enhance your reading experience. They make wonderful gifts that will last and last, and will offer the recipient the opportunity to think of you often.

They can be tucked easily into one of our Artism by Nick notecards for a special treat!

Our bookmarks are about six inches in length and are laminated to keep them looking great. They are finished with ribbon and include our artism by Nick label on back.

Our Cool Blues and Wild Thing designs are shown, but we will custom create your bookmarks in any Artism style we offer! (scroll to bottom of blog for design choices.)

Order several at our affordable price of $2 each, and have plenty on hand for friends, relatives, teacher gifts, Easter treats, or just because!

Kindness Comes in All Kinds of Packages!

When the family arrived home from our Thanksgiving trip, Nick had a nice surprise waiting for him...three packages addressed to Artism! Nick and I were vendors at a fall craft show, and in the booth next to us was a really nice person, Laura, who was displaying beautiful quilted items. As we chatted throughout the day, she told us that she was a member of a quilting group that had lots of scraps that she could donate to Artism. I told her we'd love it and gave her our business card, not expecting her to make good on it! Well, make good she did, and we now have fabric scraps of every imaginable color and design. Here is the letter she enclosed:

Dear Lucy and Nick, I hope you find all these fabrics (and some yarn) useful. All the Guild ladies wish you well and good luck in your budding business. Please don't hesitate to ask for more. Happy Thanksgiving.


We are going to have so much fun using these scraps, and we can't thank Laura enough for her kindness. Like our friend Cheryl in Mississippi, Laura and her fellow quilters send blankets overseas to our troops. Guess who is getting someTo Honor Our Heroes cards to send along to soldiers along with our thanks for her time and generosity?

Happy Fall!

Autumn is here and we couldn't be happier about it here at Artism by Nick! It is so nice and cool in our upstairs studio with the window open and the breeze coming in! There is a corner window that displays all the colors of fall in the treetops and in the woods beyond.... We always take a moment at this time of year to reflect and to be thankful for the bounty of blessings in our lives. We hope you find many as you count yours! Here are a few shots of Nick enjoying the yard this fall.
