The featured artist of the day is Katey Carlis. Katey is from Springfield, Pennsylvinia and owns and operate her store, Bankie Baby at www.bankiebaby.etsy.com. Bankie Baby has been in existence since February 2010 “2 wonderful years!” Katey shared with me.
Everyone has something that they feel is their area of concentration, a passion and what they are to mean’t do with their lives; a specialty that they must share with the world. I asked Katey what she felt her specialty was and this is what she shared with me:
“ I am an artist and a seamstress with a love of all things organic and all things baby! With these two passions in mind I have created a line of organic cotton baby blankets, with sweet animal designs that celebrate the love between parents and children. Each blanket is unique and can be personalized with baby’s name for free. “

Artists create from nothingness and know that their creation has a specific je ne sais quoi, niche or a talent; something they can’t really put into words that makes their creation sparkle. Subcutaneously, something that makes their talent so conspicuously inventive, if their creation were in a room full of 100 hundred things, theirs would surely get your attention first.
