Portland Open Studios.

This year I am honored to be participating in Portland Open Studios.

Save the 2nd and 3rd weekends in October to tour Artist studios across

the city and have an opportunity to watch them work. 

Look for tour guides at your local New Season's Market,

or the great gathering of independently owned art supply stores,

Collage, I've Been Framed, Muse and Columbia Art Supply.

I will be creating art and mulling cider both weekends,

hope you will be able to stop by my studio.

Crafty Wonderland Spring Sale.

which will be filled with original artwork,

prints, magnets, jewelry and cards.

Don't have your Mother's Day gift yet?

Don't fret...we've got something for ya.

Gratitude.

In these sweet days of spring, there is so much to be thankful for in this little life.

I believe in synchronicity. I believe in kindness. I believe in silliness. I believe in life.

A short list of things I am grateful for: Home, both physical and psychological.

Music, company for all of life's feeling and adventures. Words, wonderful magical

letters that hold hands and form strings of delight. Hope, a lightness and buoyancy

to return to more often than not. Laughter, please do not let me ever live without it.

Ones to love, thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm better for having felt it.

Thank you universe, you've been awfully good to this girl as of late.

Spring Yellow.

I'm on a little road trip in California and every thing is spring shiny yellow.

Bountiful blossoms in every shade of sunshine: 

Canary, Buttermilk, Buttercup, Cream, 

Lemon, Afternoon Sunlight, Dandelion, Chiffon Dream,

Custard, Banana, Chick and Duckling, Bee,

Corn, Pencil, Taxi Cab, Autumnal Tree.

I hope your day is filled with golden light, a blossom or two

and colors that make you think in pictures.
