V is for Vase.

"Vase"

I just finished editing this one up and had to share it immediately! Also, I just completed some amazing custom pieces. Can't wait for them to return from the printers!

S is for sailboat.

2012-02-07T00:30:00.000-05:00

Cheers to a week filled with smooth sailing.

Also, amandacbee.com is now a thang! It's a one stop spot!

One of Friday's Five: Queen Bee Swain.

2012-02-04T09:55:00.004-05:00

QBS's blog (adorably titled Queen Bee Swain) is a delightful read! I'm so happy to have been one of her five favorite things on Friday! Thank you QBS!

W is for Wellies.

2012-02-01T08:57:00.002-05:00

"Turquoise Wellies"

Nothing like a pop of color to brighten up a dreary and rainy day. The Hunter Wellington is a classic and timeless staple.

Wonderful Wednesday.

"EAS and JCW"

I was so fortunate to get connected with fellow Marylander, Erin, of Let The Tide Pull Your Dreams Ashore! She wrote this lovely post about my work and I couldn't be more thankful! Her blog is full of inspiring photos, so check her out (Facebook and Pinterest)!!

Two Post Tuesday.

2012-01-31T13:21:00.004-05:00

"Palm Beach Breakers"

"Blue bottomed Jacks"

I introduce two-post Tuesday, in honor of a fun surprise I discovered today! Two posts, one day! What goes together better than a classic pair of sandals (one can never go wrong with a pair of Jack Rogers) and the place where it's eternally summer; Palm Beach, FL!

I was so astonished to see my previous post of a piece called "Jacks" pop up on Facebook, Twitter and their blog, The World of Jack Rogers! So, a very grande merci beaucoup to them!!

L is for Lobster.

2012-01-31T09:37:00.003-05:00

"Lobster"

If you haven't guessed by now, in addition to card stock and prints, I plan on making an alphabet book for a dear friend of mine and then having it available to everyone! Any ideas for Q?! So far it's quiche or quilt. It's the toughest letter (that and the letter I)! If there's something you'd love to see, just say it and I can try my best to make it happen! x

C is for Coral.

Artistic Monday

2012-01-23T12:16:00.000-05:00

Mark Rothko, a member of the abstract impressionist movement, is one of my favorites (particularly works 1947 and later). Here are a couple of pieces inspired by him.

I stumbled upon designer Devon Baer purely by accident on Etsy and fell in love with absolutely everything. Ever since, she's been popping up on some of my favorite blogs (Let's Be Preppy and Let the Tide Pull Your Dreams Ashore) and on Pinterest! Her shop is the greatest stop for awesome accessories and terrific tunics (necessary for a winning wardrobe). All aliterations aside, check Devon out at www.devonbaer.com, you won't regret it.

Colorful Cocktails: Tequila Sunrise

2012-01-05T13:21:00.009-05:00

Not to be confused with the 1988 film staring Mel Gibson, the Tequila Sunrise makes it debut on Amanda Bee as my first colorful cocktail! Historically served first (reportedly) at the Arizona Biltmore, the original Tequila Sunrise consisted of tequila, lime, grenadine and Crème de Cassis. The modern version, is a simple concoction of tequila, orange juice and grenadine layered and poured over ice. Next time you're out (or laying low), blast The Eagles on the jukebox and order yourself a hue-filled highball. #vivalatequilasunrise #drinkresponsibly
