Our Last Two Art Shows

Chesterton Art in the Park - August 6 & 7
Fern Lady Necklace - Bronze
The show last weekend at Hawthorne Park in Chesterton, IN was the hottest show we’ve done in five years!   Between the 97% humidity and 90+ degree temperatures I’m not sure what was worse.  Oh, yes, that would be the rain that blew in unexpectedly on Sunday morning but left just as quick leaving everyone including us drenched and feeling like we were in a sauna.  However, that didn't stop the shoppers who still came out after it was all over and enjoyed seeing the great line up of artists at this show.  

 This little critter on the right came to visit on Sunday and hung around for hours trying to figure out how he could get inside of my silver heart necklace that has a keyhole in the front.  His wings were like black lace and I just didn't have the "heart" to shew him away.  I must say he had good taste.

Many of my new designs flew off the shelf and now have new homes. I just want to say thank you to all of our old and new customers who came out despite the weather! We had a great time overall and meet some really nice people.  Thanks also to the great committee who watched over us, brought us bottled water and kept and eye on the storm so we stayed safe on Sunday.  See you next year!!!! 


Domaine Berrien Cellars 
Art & Wine Music Festival
July 30
We had so much fun at this show!  My hats off to the frogs who serenaded us and kept the children (me included) occupied.   
The sweltering sun didn't bother us much as we scored big time with a booth space nestled under a huge tree  right by the pond full of huge frogs!!!! 

While his mother was shopping at my booth  this little boy was in heaven catching frogs from the pond and I couldn't help but take his picture; this little frog still had it's tail!  His sister got in the act also and caught a whopper.  

This art festival was a family event and the people truly enjoyed their day full of music, wine and the arts.  The show was one class act and I do hope we will be juried back in again next year!!!

Seems the critters took center stage at the last two shows!  But don't be dismayed here are some of the new designs that we had during the show.  You notice I said "had"!
