Well I Have Been Asked By My Friends and Followers of My "Folk Art", Do You Have a Blog? Now I Can Say I Do... I Am of the Old School Mentality, I Still Talk on the Phone, Handwrite Letters and Say Hello to Strangers I Might Pass Along the Way!
This Year is A New Beginning for Me. I Have Decided to Focus on My Artwork, Antique and Craft Shows...Along With the Shops I Sell To! I Have to Face It; This Is My True Passion is To Create! I Have a Very Vivid Imagination and Ideas That I Have to Express; Through My "Folk Art" and Holiday Creations.
I Was So Excited to Find My Inspiration for this Spring Line in the Most Unusual Way. I was Out "Junk" Shopping When I Saw this Pile of Quilts (Always My Weakness), Looking Closer I Saw Some Indigo Blue Fabric That Was Like A Beacon. I Pulled it Out of the Stack and To My Surprise it was an 1800's Denim and Ticking Quilt of Red, Tan and Blue. That Was Exciting Enough But When I Looked at the Back I Flipped Out...It Was a Handloomed Linen/Hemp Stripe of CoCoa Brown and Robins Egg Blue-Green, I Saw the Whole Look Right Then! I Was Worried About the Price, So I Asked and Could Get It! I Saw The All "Natural" Look for My New Line to Start Off 2010!
I Have Been Working for Weeks Hand Dying Fabrics, Sewing Bunnys, Birds, Mushroom, Knomes...Painting Bases and Paper Mache' Eggs. This Season I Have Done the Easter Eggs With Old Ribbons and Millinary Flowers That Open Up to Hide Candy or a Present In, So Vintage Looking!
I Will Be Doing The Antiques at Music Valley Show in Nashville TN. at The Tennesse State Fairgrounds February 11-13th 2010. Check Out www.musicvalleyantiquesmarket.com

Well The Birds Are Singing Outside My Window, Just a Good Sign That This Small Winter Snow We Had This Week is Going and The Spingtime Weather Will Follow. Have a Great Weekend and I Look Forward to Blogging This New Year! Jason

Jason,
ReplyDeleteI met you in Gas Lamp today while my mother and I were browsing. I was so excited to see your wonderful things. In fact I am so mad at myself for not getting that Rosemary tree....sigh. My next day off is next Tuesday and if its still there its mine ;) I was equally as excited to see that Phillips GS will be exhibiting with you! I ADORE that place! Feb 11th is my mothers birthday and we decided that we are going to dinner and heading over to the show to celebrate!
