It’s been a while. I hope you are having the Summer of your dreams.

I have some watercolor seashells for sale that I’d like to share with you. What’s more summer than seashells?

They very clearly look great together, but on their own just as impactful.

I photographed them on the back of a broken, vintage bamboo tray that’s of no use, but my mother wrote our last name on it. Probably because she used it to bring food to a potluck or something. But I treasure it. Seeing my mom’s handwriting feels like hearing her voice.

Anyway…these paintings are all hand cut so not sure of the exact dimensions, but they are all roughly between 6 and 11 inches. I always recommend waiting until you have said painting before buying a frame. $85 each, that includes shipping.

Just reply to this email or email me directly if you are reading in the app (cleeclacker at gmail dot com) with the number seashell you are interested in. I can measure it specifically for you.

Just happy colorful watercolor fish is all. 16 x 20 watercolor on Arches watercolor paper. $400. Free shipping to subscribers here.

All the smalls are hand cut Arches watercolor paper.

Let me know if you want one.

Also cats. Very cute, not for sale.

These are all nabbed from my personal bank of wants.

Hungarian Plates- Attractive and useful. And decorative.

Russ & Daughters- 100 years of appetizers. This is peak girl dinner shit. Sometimes all of my meals are just cobbled together things from jars and cans.

Fancy Cinnamon and Saffron- These would make a very special gift. (If you saw “penis” on the tin of cinnamon, we can be friends.)

Vintage Shell Trinket Box- Tears of joy.

90’s Celestial Napkin Rings- Cocteau-esque nostalgia. Even better if you threw in these napkins. That’s a 4-person party in the making.

A Lore Pemberton Puzzle- If she does puzzles obv.

Watercolor Banana Painting- It’s called Best Friends ffs.

A Very Pretty Embroidered Bandana- It just ticks all the boxes.

Handmade Seashell Wine Glass- Unclear if I would drink out of it, but I sure would love looking at it.

Set Of 8 Handmade Romanian Lace Placemats- $25 for all 8!

Shaded Woodland Wildflower Seeds- YES.

Also, literally anything on this page.

Spare me a kitchen that looks like it came out of a box. Even the expensively built ones. The ones that look like they were established yesterday. The ones devoid of any personality.

That little painted detail over the stove is 100/10.

Just lovely. But let me be perfectly clear, I know the clutter would drive me insane. I’d tone it down a notch or two in terms of visual overload. But otherwise, no notes.

The whole house is for sale for 2.3 mil.

Thanks for looking! Let me know if you are interested in any of these and go and have yourself a wonderful Sunday.

I’ll bet if you’ve been here a while you likely know this kitchen. Raise your hand if you do.

It’s been photographed lots of times.

It’s one of my favorites forever. If you don’t recognize it, it belongs to the French hybrid lifestyle brand Nomibis. It’s a living space as well as a rotating showroom and content studio.

It’s full of life.

New Orleans. Very cool.

Obviously the architecture is the hero here.

A lot of people will hate this, but I am a sucker for a slightly disheveled, artfully-undone kitchen. This is a kitchen you throw down in, concoct in, gather in. But if I am completely honest, I do prefer less clutter, but only mildly.

This type of kitchen doesn’t exist without vintage French enamel canisters.

Cutie.

Whole house here.

So without further adieu-

It’s in a 1930’s villa in Milan designed by Renzo Mongiardino, and most importantly- TILE.

Your kitchen could never.

Whole house here.

Happy Friday!

What’s new?

A few new paintings for starters:

As always, let me know if you are interested. Free shipping for Substack subscribers. 😚

This house in Richmond, UK is such a dream. It manages to be cozy and warm, fresh and calm. The garden is just beyond.

This rug is so good.

This kitchen on Lake Maggiore, Italy makes me want to cry. There’s obviously a lot going on but taking notes on that floor.

This perfect sconce. These too.

This $80 windbreaker. Comes in black and light green as well.

What am I watching? It’s far too embarrassing.

I re-watched every episode, starting from season 1 of Summer House. I hadn’t seen the first few seasons and I was just in such a TV rut, not because there’s nothing good to watch but because my attention span, as well as my emotional state, is frazzled. I do so much better with shows that don’t require me to suspend my disbelief and give me thousands of episodes to watch.

I am currently on season 7. Which I have already seen. I am also watching Southern Charm and the current season of Summer House. And RHOBH, always.

I am saving The Pitt for when all episodes are available. I am going to start the second half of Bridgerton tonight (Fiona and I watch it together but apart, so we can text each other without spoiling it). We will watch The Traitors when she is home for Spring Break in a few weeks.

I’ve watched almost all of the Oscar nominees…One Battle After Another and Hamnet are my favorites. I sobbed for a solid 30 minutes after Hamnet. I am telling you it’s that song (right around the 1:40 mark) You could film a bowl of rice set to that music and I’d cry.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Saturday! (this is a long one too so be sure to open in substack for the full meal deal.)

I have a few new fish available that I have spent way too long photoshopping into rooms that I’d like to present to you:

Also available (and on sale) are these seashells-

The shimmer in some of the shells is, for me, (very important distinction) impossible to photograph. But you better believe if you are interested, I will upload video and text/email it to you so you can partake in the glory of them in a much more tangible way. Also, the colors are just generally better in video.

If you ordered nudes from the last art post, those are on their way.

If you have any interest in any of this work, just holler back.

Love you all a lot.

Welcome to the 10th (I think) installment of images that held my attention for longer than most things do (which is saying something).
