I found this pretty hibiscus brooch in Mom's stash of vintage/costume jewels. I mixed it up with vintage costume chain, light-blue glass beads and snow quartz and VOILA! A pretty summer accessory was born.....

I've decided to join in on the fun and created a YART SALE section in my shop over at Etsy. I've marked some necklaces WAY down for the sale!

Speaking of deals, did you know that every Wednesday you can go to the Maine Team blog and see what weekend sales our Maine Team artists are having?? There are some seriously-super finds to be had!

SHE DREAMS OF ART

My newest article, "The Very Green Artist" is up at Indie Public!
The first Sunday of every month I write a new article for my column, "She Dreams of Art", where it is hosted by the fabulous Indie Public!

Each month I feature FOUR talented artists. This month I talked with artists who create with a very green concept. Here's a little sneak peek of Maine artist Julia Ventresco's recycled tote bags.

DISCOUNT Grain Bag Totes- 5 per order

Just imagine going to market toting one of these colorful babies slung over your shoulder! To see more of these GREEN artists follow the link here.

YOU CAN HELP! By commenting in the thread below the article
it will keep the article at the top on the front page of Indie Public. This will give these fine artists the exposure they deserve! AND, maybe one day you'll be a featured artist at Indie Public's "She Dreams of Art"!

Hope you'll pop over and say hello!!

PS...if you're not a member of Indie Public, isn't it time?

one-of-a-kind wise......

I am addicted to drawer pulls. They are, perhaps, my most favorite "found object" to work with. There seems to be a drawer pull for anything I want to make. I love how the pull, the crystal and the owl become one!
