It's a Destination!

Gardens, Gallery & Gifts Event
Saturday, June 4th- Sunday June 5th, 2011 ~ Broad Brook, CT


Gardens, Gallery and Gifts is a two-day event housed in a gallery, a garden room, a historic barn and multiple outdoor tents - all showcasing the work of 20 talented Connecticut women-artists and artisans. On display there will be fine art paintings, drawings and woodcut prints, woven wares, gift baskets, handmade herbal soaps and other products, painted glassware, beautiful jewelry, hand-dyed and painted silk scarves and clothing, nature photography, pottery, handbags and so much more.

Local musicians, including a professional soprano based in greater Hartford, CT, are also scheduled to perform at this event.

Come hear the sounds and enjoy the sights of this wonderful show: it is the only one of its kind held in the Broad Brook section of East Windsor, CT - a country town with a formal flair!

It's May, It's Sunny, It's Spring

No, I didn't just wake up, although I do feel as if I am waking up from a fog.

My father-in-law passed away on April 11. We were up at the Soldiers Home with him for a week. Then a quiet Easter. Why does that seem like it was weeks away . . . ?

But here are a couple of new things I have posted. They are very loosely woven, airy, and comfortable!

Ahhh. I feel better now that I've blogged. More weaving and gardening today. And playing guitar!
