Two Twelve Arts Holiday Sale!

I got the artist's "sneak peak" this morning at the holiday sale.  I have to say I was blown away!  Megan and Gaines did an amazing job of display, lighting, and decorating.  Ditto for the pottery gals downstairs.  The quality and variety of the handmade items is spectacular; a literal feast for the eyes and nose -  Thanks to Nancy's soaps, lotions, and balms.  But I'll let the photos do the talking.  Perhaps they'll tempt you to do a bit of your holiday shopping for a truly unique gift while supporting a local artist...

10 days of Completeness

Being an Empty-Nester seems a bit more normal for us now.  After almost a year, We've gotten used to our space and freedom.  Though neither Mike nor I will forget the week of sorrow and weeping when our youngest left the nest for college!

This December we had 10 whole days of a united family for Christmas.  Our eldest was flying in from Singapore and our youngest from University - in the same state, thank goodness -What a blessing!  Indeed a few adjustments for each of us were to be struggled through.  But what a whirlwind of hugs, activities, chatting, baking, and yes, even creating some lovely heart felt gifts for Christmas.
