The colors of the season

My new fall collection definitely celebrates the season: "Falling Leaves." The colors of fall are reflected in these molded-leaf shaped bowls constructed by piecing batik fabrics together. Next to your bed stand it'a perfect "collector." How about to hold wrapped candy? I use mine as a place to deposit my ear rings at the end of the day. My daughter wants several to make a collage on her dining room wall. Now that's an interesting idea. Yes, you can spot clean these bowls and even re-form them by using a hot iron. These items will debut at The Chickadee Boutique sale, and later at the Gustavus Adolphus Arts and Crafts sale. You can visit my store (see right column) to learn more). I'll keep you posted as more items are ready.

Trading post

I have met so many wonderful women artists this summer. That can be dangerous to the pocketbook, if you happen to also like their work. I was fortunate enough to do a trade with two of these inspiring woman, and their work graces our front entry area. April Tuckey Sepich of http://www.veryveryvintagebyapril.com works wonders with vintage architectural accents and Binky of www.creativedesignpottery.com uses the slab method and stamping to create wonderful yard art.
