A Big Belated Thank You!

Well, time is buzzing by at light speed! I can hardly believe it is September already. I wanted to post a belated BIG Thank You! To all that came by the Slotin Folk Fest show and supported me in my creative efforts. It was a wonderful show and it is always great to see and meet new customers and visit with familiar faces and collectors too. Slotin Folk Fest is like an extended family of wonderful, wacky and talented artist that I look forward to seeing. So inspiring! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!

 I was so caught up in set up, visiting, and admiring all the talent that I forgot to take pictures!!!!!! I know... what a shame! How could I ! My hubby had a few booth shots and this is a snippet but WOW! I really wish I could share the whole show -it is truly a site to behold for all you Folk Art lovers out there.

I will stick a post-it on my forehead next year to remind myself! Take pictures!!!!!!!

Well, on another note - I am gearing up for Halloween!

A New Year.........................

A few works to finish up from 2014

WOW!!!

The holidays just flew bye...........................

It was such a busy time for me with family visiting, hubby home for two full weeks and two small kids home too. We all had a wonderful holiday season and the kiddos are back in school now - (Phew) It's time to get back into the studio and start working.

First, I must do some cleaning both physically and mentally.

 I love a new year - a fresh view

time to play

but

maybe

a

winter's nap

first!

 

 

Yuletide Nesting......................

It's that magical time of year when I unbox all the trinkets and treasures that warm my soul. Olde World Santas, glass Kugels, feather trees, bottle brush trees, etc. The season is here and I have been busy with nesting, decorating, and projects with the kiddos. I must admit I don't spend much time in the studio this time of year - but new ideas are constantly bubbling in my mind.

Winter is my time to nest!

Speaking of nests - I had the great pleasure of visiting the amazing studio of the very talented Louise Grenell of Grenell Studios. She warmly opened her doors for the Annual Toe River Studio Tour here in the mountains of NC and wow!!! What an amazing and gorgeous space. She and her husband are wonderful folks and we really had a great visit. I spoiled myself with a Christmas gift of one of her great hand dyed wool pumpkin heads. Shoot, I should have shared a picture here - anyway he is perched up with my special Halloween collection that stays out all year long in my studio. He is wonderful! You can see pictures of her Halloween works, weavings, etc. on her blog.

Here is my sweet little Ansel.

 He is patiently waiting to help me decorate (Tee hee hee - devilish kitty thoughts)
Yeah right! He and his brother ( Iggy-below) are 6 months old now and nothing but trouble! They have knocked over our tree a couple of times, scaled up the trunk and used the ornaments like cat toys

This is Iggy - waiting below for his brother's signal from up on the ladder that mischief and mayhem is sure to come. My 1950's plastic silver stars hanging in a branch above the side table are just too much to resist. Smidge our 10yr old cat ( the star of some of my past posts) is napping somewhere in the house and couldn't be bothered with all their antics.

So yes, my beloved chalkware Santa collection, german glass birds, and other fragile antique ornaments will not see the light of day this year but I will still visit them all and cherish them tucked in there little boxes. Maybe I will clear a shelf in my large display cabinets and display them safely there behind glass!!!

I had forgot all that kittenhood entailed........
Well, Yuletide blessings to all

Stay Warm

Nest

&

Be Merry!

Cheers,

Lurena

Fall Palette...The Good Witch... New Listing.....

Hello and Happy November!

Blink - it's here

The leaves here in the mountains are beginning to dry and fade

Winter is at our door step.

I soak up these last glimpses of Fall color-

muted moss greens, tans, browns and golden hues. The flame of the vibrate red leaves are what really stop me in my tracks. The smell of wood smoke, Balsam, Evergreens, and Sycamore trees

 fill my head.

Heaven!

Love the details of her dress. Yes, it was hard to part with this gorgeous antique button and old domino.

The end of Fall brings the Good Witch - Miss Dottie

She is full of character and detail

and a celebration of some of my favorite colors.

She is available in my

Etsy Shop

Enjoy the season!

Warmly,

Lurena
