Holly Golightly's words couldn't resonnate with me more ~ "That's right. I'm just CRAZY about Tiffany's!". Of course, I am referring to the Affaire I am hosting next year and crazy "EXCITED" might more accurately describe how thrilled I am to share with you this huge tidbit of news ~ Here is the incredible team of inspiring artists who will be sharing their love of everything Audrey and Parisian with us. It might not be 1961 but "oh golly gee damn". . .
Jeanne Oliver of Jeanne Oliver Designs
Jeanne Oliver grew up watching old movies and was inspired by the styles and femininity of the past. Nothing seemed more glamorous to her than Vivien Leigh sweeping down a staircase, Grace Kelly wearing white gloves with a black cocktail dress or Audrey Hepburn outside of Tiffany's. Hours were spent designing her own creations and dreaming of wearing all the apparel her fingers could sketch. Today Jeanne has the honor of offering collections of her clothing, bags, art, jewelry and vintage pieces that tell a story. It is such a privilege to be a stay at home mom and also have the opportunities to create, teach and sell her creations. She is just a girl that finally started listening to the creative whispers that had been there all along. Won't you join her!
Kecia Deveney of Lemoncholy's Flight of Fancy
Originally from California, Kecia Deveney is a mixed media, jewelry artist and instructor who now resides at the Jersey Shore. Drawing inspiration form her life experiences as the mother of a severely disabled child, she channels that energy into learning and creating art. Her love for experimenting with “reclaimed discardia” results in many unique pieces of storytelling art. She has been teaching at art retreats all around the country and also in her studio for about 5 years now. Her goal as a teacher is to support, motivate and inspire others.
Laura McCollough of A Kiss on the Chic
Laura McCollough lives in Southern California with her wonderful husband, three beautiful daughters, and an adorable but deaf dog “Lady Scarlet Syrah of Glenwood”. She has been scrapbooking since she was a little girl and truly has a passion for this art form! Laura loves to create, design and teach others about this wonderful craft! Laura went to college for Interior Design and also spent some time planning weddings so she loves how scrapbooking has blended together perfectly with mixed mediums and home decor. Making projects for her home is really where she loves to play and experiment. Laura has taught classes for the last six years and also owns a kit club, A Kiss on the Chic, where she sells project based kits. Laura loves to travel, sing, cook, play tennis and spend time with her family and friends. She feels so blessed to be doing what she loves for a living and tries to enjoy every moment the Lord has given her! Laura is continually inspired by so much that life has to offer and can't wait to see where the journey will lead next!
Lonnie Jenck of Farm Girl Bella
Lonnie Jenck was born and raised in a small farming community on the Oregon Coast. Since a very young age, she has been creating artwork to share with others.

Lonnie talents are as both a jewelry and mixed media artist, but she has found her true passion to be jewelry making.
