Hi!  Just a reminder for those of you that are close.  Tomorrow (Sat.) is the Open House at my Studio in Cashmere, WA.  It is from 12~5.  I'll be the one with the Coffee and Cookies.  With 4 Wineries, a Distillery and a Brewery in the same Building I thought maybe the Coffee would be a good idea!  

Horan Estates Winery is also having their 'Re-Grand Opening' to celebrate their new space.  They were previously in the space I am in and moved next door to a bigger Room.  As part of their Celebration they will be giving tours of their Production Facility which is in the same building.  They will also have a live remote from Radio Station Sunny.FM.  

Hope to see you there!

Open House  Sat. Nov. 16th  12~5

It's 'that' time of year....

Here we are ... almost mid November already.  On a personal level, I haven't done much to get ready for this, very soon to be, Holiday Season.  (Unlike my Sister who texted me 2 days ago to let me know our gifts were in the mail and not to open them until Christmas.  Argh!! Her Christmas card  ALWAYS arrives the day after Thanksgiving!)   Anyway, in thinking about the Holidays I thought it would be nice to make it easier for people who like my work to be able to purchase, or gift the ability to purchase, my work.  So . . .

At my Studio.Gallery I offer Gift Certificates but I had not thought about adding the capability to purchase them to my Website until just last week.  I'm not sure why it took me so long.   It seems like it would be an obvious addition.  :/

For those of you interested in just seeing what I've done, or for those of you possibly interested in purchasing one (They'd make great Stocking Stuffers! :)  you can Click Here
 and see what's what.  They are currently available in $25.;  $50.;   $75. and $100. amounts.   Different amounts can be done by Special Request.  Any questions, Please do let me know.

In the meantime, a new Necklace . . .

 and a small 5 x 7 . . .

Gypsy Rose

This is waiting for a Frame so it's not on my Website yet.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention something about the devastation that just took place in the Philippines.   Know that my Thoughts and Prayers go out to all those affected by this immense tragedy.  And, a Special Thanks to all those who pack their bags, leave their Friends and Families behind, and selflessly go help every time one of these horrific tragedies happens.  My admiration for you has no end.

Talk to you soon . . .

I'M STILL THINKING PUMPKIN . . .

Did you know that Orange is considered the color of' adventure and optimism'. It is also considered a warm and inviting color so it is said to get people, thinking, talking and moving.  (And obviously eating too, since so many of the restaurants use it in their decor!)   

And,  it isn't just 'Orange' anymore.  Now it's either a Popsicle, Marigold, Orange Sky,  Blood Orange, Pumpkin, Yuma, Squash, Burnt Orange, Cadmium Orange, Tangerine, Carrot Orange, Mango Tango, Red Orange and Orange Red, or even a Crayola 'Jersey Shore' Orange!  Personally I'd rather see a 'Scandal' Orange ~ can't you just feel the heat from that already?!  :)

I guess I got off on that tangent because several of my new pieces of Jewelry fall into the 'Orange Family'.   I'll let you decide what name you want to give the shades of orange in these pieces.  For me, I'm still thinking Pumpkin . . .
