Had a fun day today hanging out with My Talented Friend Sarah Chapman at the ONE OF A KIND SHOW at the Merchandise Mart. She’s showing off her incredible metalsmithing skills this weekend in Booth #2118. She’ll be at it again tomorrow… and I’ll once again be hanging with her for the day. Be sure to stop by to say Hello!

Ready for a little more holiday shopping?! Well, next weekend is MUD & METAL… my second Holiday Home Show. Plenty of pottery for everyone on your gift lists. Plus wonderful handmade & hinged jewelry by My Talented Friend Amy Taylor. She makes amazing pieces sure to be hit on Christmas Day!!!

Click here for a preview of Amy’s work… and to start your shopping lists!

Catherine, one of my pottery students, had been covering this Sarah Chapman necklace on her website. Just a couple days ago… it SOLD to someone else! Guess Catherine is going to need to find a new one at the ONE OF A KIND SHOW … this weekend at the Merchandise Mart Booth 2118.

My Talented Friend & amazing metalsmith Sarah Chapman is back in town this weekend and showing her artistry at the ONE OF A KIND SHOW. Starting tomorrow at the Merchandise Mart, the art fair continues through the weekend. Sarah is in Booth 2118… and I’ll be helping her there on Saturday & Sunday. Be sure to swing by to say “Hi”… and to see Sarah’s amazing metal & gemstone masterpieces!

HUGE THANKS to everyone who made it to The Cozy Cottage Friday & Saturday! We had a great time seeing everyone… err, well their safely masked eyes & foreheads anyways?! So much fun hanging out all day with a couple of My Talented Friends. Thanks to everyone who came to The Cottage!

Also found some time to add wire rings to my newest batch of double star ornaments… getting ready for next weekend’s MY HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS HOME SHOW!!!

We had a great time last night for the kick-off of THE COZY COTTAGE POP-UP. Always fun hanging out with some of My Talented Friends… and meeting a lot of new ones! We’re open again today from 10:00am-5:00pm in the Cottage! Lots of fun, lots of art!!!

Well, here they are… all done with just a couple hours to spare! THE COZY COTTAGE POP-UP starts at 6:00pm tonight… and I can’t wait to have people see this latest batch of collaboration pieces between painter Mary Foster & myself. We had a great time working on these together for this Pop-Up Shop!

Any guesses?… Which one goes to a new home first???

Here’s the details for THE COZY COTTAGE POP-UP…

My Talented Friend & metalsmith Amy Taylor will be joining us tonight & tomorrow at THE COZY COTTAGE POP-UP. We’re going to be hanging out at Mary Foster’s place with a bunch of our work this weekend and would love to see you. Amy’s work is beautifully designed & well-crafted… with actual “hinges” in all the right places for extra movement & extra fun!!!

One of the artists, as well as the gracious host & picture-frame-collaborator, Mary Foster has pulled together this COZY COTTAGE POP-UP at her home for everyone to enjoy. Her paintings & woodcut prints are quite colorful & wonderfully whimsical… often featuring scenes of natural settings & flowers as seen through an artist’s eyes. I hope you can swing by her Cozy Cottage to see her wonderful work… we’d love to see you there tonight or tomorrow!
