Our Front Yard

Our house looked like this:

Those chairs on the right were shaded

by a giant oak (see the high branches?)

When that tree crashed into our roof (last summer)

leaving our front yard barren and shade-less

it was time to create a plan…

that combined what I had long wanted:

a pond (with fish!), an inviting front porch,

a vine covered pergola, and a cottage garden.

I sketched my ideas so Rick could see what I envisioned

and convinced him that we could do it… in stages;)

We started digging this week!

I’ll keep you posted on our progress!

Don’t forget my Summer Art Show 2020 is in August!

Summer Art Show 2020

I am super excited about

my Summer Art Show 2020!

It will be at my house,

in this yard…

2 Sunny Drive

Ona, WV

on Saturday, August 22 at 3:00

To make it more fun,

each painting will be auctioned

like they do at fancy art houses…

And ALL proceeds will go to

one of these great causes (purchaser picks):

* Hilary Turner’s campaign fund

(She’s running for Congress to help solve the climate crisis!)

* Huntington’s Food Bank

*Local animal shelter

Here’s another fun part:

Everyone attending will receive a present,

and you do NOT have to purchase art…

Just come for the FUN…

And bring a friend, a lawn chair and a mask!!

The auction starts at 4:00, and

arrangements will be in place for

a FB live event & out-of-town bidding…

(details on that coming soon)!

New Pillows Covers Coming Next Week!

Last fall I painted

The Herd.

Here’s a link to the back story.

Recently, Judy at Wildflower Gift Gallery

asked me to put it on a pillow,

so I did.

These are BIG pillows: 26″ x 20″

I ordered them from the Canadian company,

Art of Where;

the quality of their materials and workmanship

is excellent.

You can purchase The Herd pillow cover here,

Soon, you can purchase the pillow cover with a pillow insert

at the Wildflower Gift Gallery at The Market.

We Are Marshall Tote Bags and Huntington Pillow Covers on Backorder

The “We Are Marshall” tote bags are on backorder,

and I only have a few Old Main tote bags left.

My post about the company making

my Huntington pillows and Marshall tote

bags is here.

I realized the quality of their products

when the pillows came in,

so I reordered the tote bags

before I had even seen them!

When they arrived I was thrilled:

as my husband, Rick, says,

“It looks like you painted right on the fabric.”

The tote bags are made of heavy canvas;

but there’s a choice of fabric in the pillows:

Upholstery canvas (super heavy)

and Upholstery velveteen (heavy but soft).

Pillows are on backorder, too

but Wildflower Gift Gallery, and

Red Caboose did have a couple.

New Payment Options

I have added new payment options

for purchasing on my website…

PayPal was the only choice,

and not everyone has a PayPal account.

Silly me.

Now if you want to pay with a credit card,

I can send you an invoice via email,

or you can send me a check by mail.

Just fill out the form

on the page of the product

you want to order,

and tell me in the message box

how you want to pay.

New Products Coming Soon!

I love this little pastel painting…

the colors, the whimsy…

With prints of it and a few crafty items like beads,

I make wall hangings.

I searched and searched for a company

that would use my painting and make this:

I found one.

The company is Art of Where.

I know…that’s a totally weird name.

They do all their manufacturing

in Montreal, Canada.

They’re sewing my bags now.

Well, it says ‘In Production’ on my order;)

Soon they’ll be available in The Wildflower Gift Gallery, Red Caboose,

and I’ll sell them from this website.

I’ll also have…

Old Main tote bags, and…

Huntington pillow covers…

in canvas and velveteen.

Look for them the first week of December.
