We sure had
a whirlwind Open Studio Tour this year! Thank you to all who came by to visit!
It was wonderful to meet you, and I'm looking forward to seeing you again.
September
has gone by much too quickly, though. Surely this "sudden" flip of
the calendar page can only mean that the end of the year is going to be here
before we know it. I'm really hoping we get to see some fall colors first -
especially since the studio sits up in the trees! If no “leaf season,” at least
we may get a winter view!
MARK YOUR CALENDARS - I'll be showing items at this show coming soon!
Come take a look - you'll see some amazing artistic items for sale!
19th Annual Juried Art & Craft Festival, Saturday, November 2, 9 am – 3 pm.
