My favorite yearly spring fling -  The Lucketts General Store Spring Faire.

From the Funky……..

To  Fabulous……

To the Just Plain Cool…..

There was something for everyone at this year’s event. I teamed up with my friends Karen (you all know her as The Graphics Fairy!) and Cindy (no blog yet, but I’m working on her) for some [...]

Last weekend Andrea posted about prepping for her trip to Funky Junk Sisters Vintage Flea Market,  and featured a wonderful photo of her “little helper”, a market cart with a lovely shabby lining ready to hold all the treasure she might find.  I have had my cart for about 2 years now, and was determined [...]

There is just something about peonies.  Lush, blowzy, romantic, extravagant.  I am always excited when the peonies in my garden begin to bloom.  A couple of years ago I had an opportunity put in a garden that is half herbs, roses and perennials, and half raised beds for veggies, raspberries, annuals etc.  I decided to [...]

For Pamela…..

For Rita….

I have learned so much participating in this project, not only about the young Queen Victoria, but about myself as an artist.  Each [...]

I finally got to an auction today, and had the pleasure of sharing the fun with sweet Hope, who had never been to one.  We couldn’t have asked for a prettier day – blue skies, lots of sun.  Folks gathered on the property, a lovely farm with several well-tended outbuildings that had been in the [...]
