Art Supplies | Photography | Gallery Hey there! Chances are we already know each other, or at least have a few friends in common! And then there's travel!

After 27 years working with the Michigan courts, I've officially retired from my day job and decided to give my creative side a little more attention. Photography has been part of my life for nearly 20 years, but I've always loved creating, whether that's behind a camera, drawing, designing, or dreaming up my next project. What started as Santini Fotos has grown into Opal & Lark Creative, a little studio in downtown Williamston where I can bring all those interests together. Along with photography and digital design, the studio features artwork from Michigan artists and unique gifts from local makers. I've always loved exploring new places, usually with a camera in hand. Over the years, friends and family started asking me to help plan their trips, so becoming a certified travel advisor felt like a pretty natural next step. Now I can help you plan and book your own adventures, whether it's a weekend getaway, a family vacation, or that big trip you've been dreaming about. I work primarily by appointment, whether we're planning a photo session, discussing a creative project, or putting together your next vacation. I'm excited to have a space where I can create, collaborate, share the work of other talented artists, and connect with our community. Thanks for being here and following along as this next chapter takes shape!

We're so happy to be displaying some beautiful mosaic artwork by one of our newest artists, Barbara Clark who lives right here in Williamston! Her creativity and ability to turn little pieces into something extraordinary is truly impressive.

Stop in and see her work up close this Friday. The detail and craftsmanship are even more beautiful in person!

The precision and care that goes into their work is amazing! And thank goodness, because if I had to put this up myself, it would definitely be crooked! 😂

A big thank you to True Edition for helping me get Opal & Lark ready for our grand opening!

Artists and fellow business owners, be sure to check them out! They offer professional fine art scanning and printing services for artists and businesses, and we’re lucky to have them right here in Williamston.

Even better, they’re hosting an Open House this Wednesday from 4:30–7:00 PM! Stop by, meet the team, and see what they can do.

Thank you again, Jamie True.Edition! I appreciate your attention to detail and willingness to help a fellow small business when you have a crazy week!

Long Post Alert🚨

One thing this past year has taught me is that stress is real. Whether we recognize it or not, our bodies have a way of sending us warning signs. But like so many of us, we ignore those signs and just keep pushing through.

This year, I reached my breaking point. It was a wake-up call, and I made a promise to myself to make more room for prayer, meditation, creativity, and simply slowing down.

That journey is part of what inspired Opal & Lark Creative in the first place. I truly believe that creativity is good for the mind, body, and soul.

So, I’m especially excited to share that Opal & Lark will be carrying Breathe People exclusively in our area!

The name alone resonated with me, and once I started exploring their products and their similar struggle, I knew they were a perfect fit for our little shop.

Breathe People is a small business that creates wonderful art kits designed for everyone, whether you’ve never picked up a paintbrush or you’ve been creating art for years. You don’t have to be an artist to enjoy making something beautiful.

Be sure to check out their products when you visit! We’ll have more arriving just in time for the holidays, too.

A little reminder from me to you: Slow down. Breathe. Create something. It’s good for the soul. ❤️

If you live in Williamston, chances are you'll recognize the iconic drawings of Matt Mulford! His artwork is sprinkled throughout several shops in downtown Williamston, and soon you'll find some at Opal & Lark, too!

Matt creates beautiful work featuring wildlife, fantasy, and landscapes, and I'm so happy to have a sampling of his art in our little gallery!

Matt also has his own wonderful shop, The Artisan Alcove Gallery & Gifts, located in Keller's Plaza. While you'll get a little taste of his talent at Opal & Lark, I encourage you to stop by his gallery to explore his much larger selection.

I love seeing our local artists and small businesses supporting one another. That's what makes this community so special!

Welcome to Opal & Lark, Matt!

If you know me, you know I always have a candle burning! I love the ambiance, the scents, and how a good candle can completely change the mood of a space.

We’re lucky to have our very own candle shop right here in downtown Williamston! If you haven’t checked out Bayard Candle Company LLC, you really should. They have a wonderful selection!

Today, I had the pleasure of meeting both owners, who graciously donated a candle to our “All Things Williamston” door prize basket for Opal & Lark Creative’s grand opening! The basket will feature some wonderful goodies from our local shops.

Thank you, Bayard Candle Company, for your generosity and for being part of what makes our little downtown so special!

See you Friday the 13th! 🕯️❤️
