Neptune 1 Studio - Sneak Peak at Beauport Series

Our relationship started in the winter through a simple phone call.  Hi she said, my name is Phyllis and I am with a business called Neptune 1 Studios.  We make a line of decoupage plates that I think might be quite well suited for Blackstone's.  The year was off to a very slow start.  Mother nature kept throwing us one snow storm after another.  Shoppers were not out shopping yet somehow something told us that if we tried this line we would not be sorry...thanks to a great product made by Sue and Phyllis - locally made I might add - we have been anything but sorry.

Neptune 1 Studios first collection from the Lee Mansion came with their leading man, Neptune, part of the Lee Mansion's wallpaper images.  Next came Ashley Bowen, whose original paintings from the 1700s that were rescued by a local man who found them in a trashcan!  The Ashley Bowen series includes harbor paintings this young ship's rigger painted whenever in port.  Sue and Phyllis even included some of his ship logs under several of the images.

What could be next?


I hope you are able to visit Blackstone's this holiday season and see all three collections firsthand.  These collections are a fabulous snapshot of American history as well as beautiful pieces to display and, best of all, they are food safe!
