So Can I

Today I am joined by Lydia Schrader! While working as an Interior Designer at an architectural firm in Greenwich, Connecticut, Lydia found time to illustrate the scenes which most inspired her during the day.  She decided to focus on building her eponymous brand as an artist full time in 2015.

Lydia's artwork features a strong attention to detail and typically showcases interior and architectural elements throughout her work. Her own sunny disposition floods into her art resulting in a joyful body of work. It is often also nostalgic. Often painted off site in her studio from photographs, Lydia's artwork invokes the emotions of the remembered (or sometimes daydreamed) moment. What is so intriguing about buildings is their reflection of those who inhabit them. Interiors and architecture are what we intentionally surround ourselves with- for both shelter and comfort.

Lydia’s home studio has been in the lush gardens of Greenwich Connecticut, amid the city lights in Philadelphia, under the palms in Palm Beach, the lakes of Maine, the rolling hills Loudoun County in Virginia, and the latest— under the Spanish Moss in Savannah, Georgia.  Home is where her husband, Brent, and their Cuban kitty cat, Lulu, are.

Kate Stice Stewart is the founder of Bauble Stockings, a beautiful family tradition that has taken off in the past 5 years. In the most traditional sense, they are based on Kate's own family's tradition. Bauble Stockings are ornament-sized needlepoint stockings that hang on your tree. They are meant to contain, or hold a clue to each family member's final gift of Christmas. It's not meant to be the most expensive gift, but the most thoughtful, the one that makes you feel warm, fuzzy and thought-of. Since launching, Kate has launched into other holidays, now having Bauble Stockings for Hanukkah, Birthdays, and Valentine's Day. Hand-stitched needlepoint, these heirloom stockings are made for fair trade by moms in Haiti, who are able to work from their homes and on their own schedules.
