Girls Hang Out @ the Wood all Day

Marianne, Pam, Robbie, and Judy dined in the courtyard of Mellwood in front of my studio/store. Lovely afternoon. I don't mind tending my store when girlfriends drop in and we have lunch and hang out. I am trying the "Turtle" look where you hide the double chin.

Kent B-day Boy & Rick (friend since before we could drive)

Instead of our usual Project Runway thursday we celebrated Kent's Birthday by dining at the Bristol and going to see Lookingglass Alice @ Actor's theatre. Night caps at Proof and 21C to see the latest art offerings. Not sure how old Kent is....I think he is subtracting years.

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

When not at an Art Show... Deb can be found at Promanade Gallery in Berea, KY. She has all her hand crafted sterling silver items in this vintage oak showcase.

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.
