It's Beginning...

...to look a little like Christmas.

I've just started decorating my house for the Holidays. These are my Santa mugs I've been collecting for years. I finally had to STOP! It was ridiculous! They are just so nostalgic to me...we only had a couple when I was growing up, not enough for my 3 sisters and me to each have one. I guess that's why I had to get enough for any and all who come to my house now!

I will share more of my collections as I get them out.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Turkey, dressing, green bean casserole, salad,

twice-baked potatoes, sweet potatoes,

chocolate sheet cake, Mystery pie, pumkin pie...

that's just what I know about!

I plan on trying it all!!

These are some of the other vendors at the Market.

Jackie Peters and Franc Franke.

Definitely voted Most Popular! They had customers lined up outside waiting to get in and devour their beautiful paper art. Jackie also teaches classes at Paper Crown.

Robin Thomas kept us in "stitches" all day. She creates the lovliest, coziest, knitted scarves and shrugs as well as sews precious, unique dolls. You can find her creations on Etsy too!

Holly Abston was there with her sweet, handmade ornaments and repurposed, vintage jewelry. (Unfortunately, you can't see it because she sold almost all of it!)Ann Denise of Whim and Fancy Designs came from Ft. Worth, TX!

She brought her crepe paper creations and also taught a class.

This is a small market with BIG potential!

The Beat of My Art

Exciting news! While at The Creative Connection, I met a wonderful woman/artist named Debbie Egizio. Well, let me start again . . . I met a very nice man, who gallantly came to my rescue as I tried to haul all my crap (I mean, my exquisite display pieces and artwork) into the event center to set up for the show. Turns out, it was Debbie's brother. He had just finished helping her set up her space and, for some unknown reason, decided to help me out! Afterwards, he introduced me to his sister, Debbie.

As the show progressed, Debbie and I chit-chatted and realized, as different as our backgrounds were, we were alot alike. We had an immediate connection, and it must have been fate that our spaces were practically right next to each other.

Okay, back to Debbie and her good news! Debbie has been featured in the November issue of Where Women Create! It is a wonderful article! Please be sure to find a copy somewhere and look her up. Her artwork is beautiful as is her message about being your true creative self.

You can find Debbie at her blog

or her website, The Beat of My Art.

And, I have the privilege of saying:

"THAT'S MY FRIEND!"
