Hard to believe that we’re just one week away from ART IN THE BARN. In my mind, the “official” kick-off of Fall as the place is all decorated with pumpkins, gourds, mums, hay bales & lots of great art!!! I will once again be in my usual spot in the Lower Barn E4-E6… a double booth filled with more pots & Halloween decor than any other art fair on my schedule. Mark your calendars for a great Fall weekend… always the last weekend of September!

It’s always fun when you see the ART IN THE GARDEN collaborations get some lovin’ & find a new home! Like these three platters that I made with my “cohort in collaboration“ Cory McCrory! Thanks to Kristin, Donna & The Molloy Family… looks like little redhead Maddie has a new favorite too!!

There are still a couple collaborations left… if you’re interested, you can contact Cory for more details!

A huge “Thank You” to everyone who stopped by ART IN THE GARDEN this weekend. We had a beautiful weekend with a lot of wonderful friends, followers & customers stopping by. It’s always a great weekend hanging out with My Talented Friends in Amy’s backyard… showing off our wares & sending a lot of pots off to their new forever homes. Thanks again… we always appreciate the ongoing support & encouragement!!!
