Looking for something different for a gift or for that perfect spot in your home, this piece will turn heads and start conversations for sure. These framed pieces are very different, offer nature's own colors and a one of a kind personality.

San Carlos Hot Harvest Nights!

Thank you for stopping by my booth during the art walk in San Carlos, right outside of the San Carlos Hot Harvet Night's. It was fun to chat with all of you, listen to and adopt your great ideas to incorporate into other ideas for baskets. I appreciate getting to know you and your input! I had a booth in front of the Clock Tower Music store's new location at 676 Laurel Street, and would do it again because it was fun! Thanks to Gail Sjoman with Art Liaisons for all of her hard work in putting all of this together, local artists like me are able to get exposure within the community.

Come and visit me on the following Thursday nights this summer:

July 8, 15, 22, 29

August 5 and 12

Fabric baskets, framed unique photography and photo cards. Come by and say "Hi" and let me know you saw my blog. I am having a great time at the art walk, seeing a lot of people that I haven't seen in a while, making new friends and showing San Carlos what I have to offer!

Old Fashioned Candle Holders

Just like in the days of Dicken's, these old fashioned candle holders are fabric baskets in disguise! The bottom and handles are strengthened with a fabric stiffener to keep their shape and supportive illusion.
