New work and a busy busy week!

It's a good thing I had an inspirational week last week! I got a few paintings done, about 30 bracelets, a couple dozen pairs of earrings and some great little paper mache snowmen. All this in preparation for the upcoming Holiday on the Lakeshore. I am planning on a huge sale for this event with deals that I usually only give my wholesale accounts. Pendants will be just $5!!! and I will have $6 earrings and $12 bracelets. It is going to be a crazy good time so hope to see you at the Holiday Inn! You can shop Friday evening beginning at 4pm I believe and Saturday 10-4.

On Saturday at 4 when Holiday is done I have to quickly pack up and rush home to get ready for Chairs for Charity! I am so excited about this event this year. Heather Doucette the event chair and the whole committee did such an awesome job making this a fantastic event.
All in all we have 145 pieces to auction off on Saturday! That is incredible!

So get out this weekend and give and get. All proceeds from entry into Holiday on the Lakeshore go right back to the community and then at Chairs for Charity in the evening it is the same. What a perfect weekend to get all your Christmas shopping done and give to your community at the same time!

Holiday Hullabaloo!!!!

So so so excited to announce a new little holiday show I am putting together for the first Saturday in December! So far the funky art and craft fair features 10 of my favorite local artists and I hope to get about 10 more to participate! There will be everything from natural bath products to recycled art to fine art to well you name it! It will be in the back hall at Manitowoc Coffee. Make sure to tell all your friends! It is going to be a hullabaloo you will not want to miss.

The fabulous poster was designed by the hugely talented Tina Kugler. Hire her to make your posters, children's books or logo. You will not be disappointed!

Camera Love.

So I was playing with our new camera the other day. The light was so nice coming in the window I thought I would get out the tripod and try a few shots. Glenn♥ so sweetly gave me a few pointers about photography...I am a point and shoot kind of gal...and I took pics for about an hour. I love love love them! Tell me what you think!

Loved making this pendant so much using plaster of paris!

Did you know how much I adore trade beads? Well I do and used lots of them in this fun bracelet.
