The Franklin Shops on first street is a newly opened boutique retail center inside a refurbished 1930’s hardware store, and a welcomed addition to our historic river district.

.

Our artwork has taken up residence inside of some of the square space wall-units in the shop.

Something new in our space are jeff’s flat wallets.

.

.

He creates and design them, free-hand, entirely from masking tape and draws on them with india ink.

.

.

They have a credit card and id pocket inside, and fold up nice and flat.

.

.

I love the designs on them, and have been scanning and storing his drawn images for possible future projects that I keep thinking up … even though jeff keeps exclaiming, “no pillows.”  hmph.

Well, then … I say the wallets themselves can also make a cute accessory for the dolls.

.

.

Here’s to new beginnings.
