Nancy Peterson/ Owner of Edenside Gallery
Edenside Gallery has been voted best in Louisville so often that I think Nancy has run out of room to put the awards in the Gallery.
I have often said I can walk in Edenside blindfolded and find something cool that I can't live without.
She is the savviest retailer in the country.
Thanks to Nancy's skilled eye and advice I was able to improve my jewelry. I took her the first item of my production line and asked her what she thought. She said she could sell it and sell she did.
This is a shout out to you Nancy! Thank you for all you do for the arts and craft in our community!!
Also, Nancy is responsible for finding Sam and I our Bear Dog. He is a constant joy in our life and we praise Nancy often in our household.

It's Here!!
This is the Winner of the Poster Design Contest. Very Cute!
WOW!!! So many things went right with this show that I will not even discuss what things need to be tweaked for next year until we all celebrate how it Rocked! The hardest job for a show is to get the people to attend and attend they did. Not only that...... the patrons walked around the entire complex and spent the day. This is my vision of what our weekends can look like at Mellwood Art Center.

Mellwood September Art Fair
Since there will be no Ursuline Art Fair this year Mellwood's September Art Fair, September 12 & 13, will be one of two new shows in town. Art in the Highlands, September 19 & 20, is the second show. It will take two shows to make up for the loss to the community of Ursuline. I look forward to both venues.

Sam and LuLu
We think LuLu might be on the Witness Protection Program. She will be sitting there looking cute and I bring out the camera and she turns away. Gets up and moves. If I even reach for the camera she will not look at me.
Also, It was brought to my attention that Bear and LuLu get more ink and photos than husband Sam:)

Woolworth's
Growing up I always loved going to Woolworth's. This was long before Dollar Trees. At Woolworths you could get anything from a milkshake to a parakeet. I could take baby sitting money and become the consumer I was born to be.
So it was bittersweet when all the Woolworth's departed from our area. But the sign still lives on in my dining room. Cari had it in her house for years. Then made my dreams come true when she decided to move on to another decor. Thank You Cari! And Sam for surprising me with the sign for Christmas one year.

Never Too Young to be Exposed to Art
Here's PJ, Gracie (cutest baby in the land), and Elaine Steele spending the day at Art in Speed Park.
This might be their last day to relax and enjoy an Art Fair since Elaine is in charge of the 4th Street Section of the St. James Court Art Fair. She has become aware that artists do not read any of the information that the show sends out. Our brain is not wired that way. Elaine has figured that she has to trick us to read our artists packets.
Rock on with your bad self Elaine and Family. I will see you the first weekend in October.
My booth is on the corner of 4th and Magnolia. I guess I'll have to read my packet to find out for sure:)

Deb Chenault's Jewelry
Deb Chenault / Jeweler
Deb is one of my daily e-mail friends. I can't seem to begin the day unless I "E" her or she "E's" me.
This past week I had an extra treat of Deb spending the weekend with us. She was lured to be in "Art in Speed Park" by that "Rainmaker" Kim Johnson. Needless to say....Kim knows her market and the patrons at the show loved Deb and her wonderful sterling jewelry.
Deb will be back in this area September 12 & 13 for Mellwood's September Art Fair. Jamison Brumm and Theresa Kibby will be there too. Can't wait! I look forward to having my artist friends staying with me and having a slumber party as much as I look forward to the show. More on Jamison Brumm and T. Kibby later.

September / The Fall Begins
Here is a sample of some of our Halloween Collections. I forced Sam to collect something so he would stop at Flea Markets and Antique Malls in our travels. He decided on Halloween because it is his favorite holiday. Mine too! As a child and adult I have been known to be competitive when it comes to a costume.
I make a line of Whimsical Halloween Jewelry. I will post photos of Jewelry later.

Bear / Ready for the Fall
Arachine is a wonderful weaver. I found her work last year at The Promanade Gallery in Berea, KY.
This summer I met her while we both were in Francisco's Farm Art Show, Midway, KY. She mentioned that she is doing a book with photos of dogs wearing her scarves and hats. Say no more. As I have mentioned before......Bear doesn't take a bad photo. Even if this look is a little girley for him. He is used to wearing hats for photos.
