Favorite Shop Of The Week - Bishop Art

While building my Meet the Members of the Pacific Postcard Team post I had a revelation.  I am going to pick my favorite shop for the week and feature them on both of my Blogs Wednesday.

(you can also find this at www.PostcardsInTheAttic.blogspot.com)

This feature is based solely on my own personal tastes and what I enjoyed at the time.  I usually find several shops that I just love but one always grabs my attention just a bit more.  I believe firmly in magic so this little shop, Bishop Art, just was a perfect place for me to browse.

Her cute little smiling trees and character brightened my day and gives us a wonderful view of Oregon.  I hope you enjoy her feature as much as I enjoyed her shop:

"I currently live in rainy Portland Oregon but have also lived in foggy San Francisco, chilly Chicago, sunny Phoenix, and was born in muggy Oxford, MS.

I went to art school at the California College of Arts and Crafts, which is now called California College of the Arts.

I enjoy painting, movies, tv, reading, my cat, making stuff and smart, fun and creative people who make stuff." ~Bishop Lennon

Here is a bit more about Isabell's Umbrella from her Profile on Etsy:

"About Isabell's Umbrella
Isabell's Umbrella grew from an obsession with stationery, writing instruments and design. Ashley Giessing, owner/artist, believes she should have been born in the nineteenth century, when all correspondence was done by hand.

Highlights of her childhood include drawing, making little notes and stationery for her little brother and older sisters, and the monthly letters she would receive from her dear Grandma Sweetie.

It was when Ashley first entered the design field that she that she began dreaming about creating her own line of stationery. Four years later, Ashley took that leap -- opening Isabell's Umbrella in January of 2008. She looks to the future and growth of Isabell’s Umbrella with a plan for success.

Specializing in stationery that will lift the clouds of a rainy day, Ashley’s hopes are to renew the lost "art" of hand correspondence by creating stationery you will want to share with others. "There is nothing that means more to me than a kind, heartfelt, handwritten note from someone I love."

About Me
Located in a valley much like somewhere else I've been, I spend my days working as a graphic designer in the marketing department of an architectural firm. My evenings are filled by my son, daughter and husband whom I all love dearly... and my nights and free time (ha!) are spent dreaming up designs and doodles for Isabell's Umbrella. I drool over thin-tipped pens, stationery and unique office supplies, and oh yeah, I also collect books"
