Armed Forces Days Craft Show

This past weekend was Armed Forces Days and since our town is located very near a military installation, they had a celebration complete with parades, street dances, carnival, volleyball tournament, horseshoe tournament, softball tournament, rummage and bake sales and I hosted a craft show for several local crafters. It was colorful, fun, and showed off our wares to people who came to town to participate in the fun. We all had flyers and/or business cards to hand out because when people come to an event like this, they don't necessarily plan to spend money.

Now they know how to find us when they do plan to make a purchase.

My cat enjoyed the weekend more than anyone. She lay in the middle of the drive way where many people could admire her "great beauty" and of course pet her. She's one of the 7 cats I adopted after they either strayed from their home or were abandoned by former owners.

New Listing on Lemon Poppyseeds

Isn't this the most wonderful cat? His nose and lips are needle sculpted. His wonderful pointy teeth make his grin just the tiniest bit gruesome. His eyes are vintage metal buttons from a man's work shirt. They've lost most of the blue enamel paint they were originally coated with, thanks to those lovely old wringer washing machines........my daddy's work shirt buttons looked the same way when I was a little girl. You can find this cat and a few other offerings at my Lemon Poppyseeds shop. While there, don't forget to check out the offerings from all the other talented artists who exhibit their wares over there.

The other half

My friend Sandy LaCoursiere has her wares on the left end of the wall of fence in the Cranberry Mall in Tomah. I wanted to share a couple photos of her paintings and Eric's hand crafted shelves and table.

Sandy paints on both wood and canvas and each painting is done one at a time.

Eric does beautiful work and his creations can be ordered in other colors. To see more of their work, check out the website, Country Spirit.

New Pear Make-Do

These are the 2 sides of the same pear make do. Just think--You can change it every day just by turning it around. It's listed on Lemon Poppyseeds as well as on my website and it's only $29 with FREE SHIPPING.

New Adventure

I'm so excited. I've found a new place to showcase my creations. I've rented space in Tomah, WI,  at the Cranberry Mall . If you click on the words, you can visit their website for the hours they're open and directions.

I had to share photos. At this time it includes some spring and a mixture of everyday and fall.  The bottom left photo is the left end of the space, the top left photo is the middle of the space and the top right photo is the right end of the space.

I built the fence in sections and assembled it when I got there. Isn't it fun?
