Here are some pictures of my jam-packed booth at The Madison Craft and Gift Shops. I hope you can get out there for a visit. Like them on FB for ongoing goodies…Madison Craft and Gift Shops.

Just a few pictures of the finished product…. I love my new shower, I find myself in it a couple times a day in this hot weather we’ve been having!!!

Just some updated pictures of the Crazy Mosaic project…. enjoy.

I took on a very large project…. here below are some pictures showing the progress of my ” Shower Mosaic ” I have never done this before, but somehow it just flowed all together…. we found tiles, then glass, tools were gifted and a design emerged. I just can’t figure out why I underestimated the time involved!!

I have only two walls almost complete. The one is representative of the 7 chakras or energy centers of the body. Standing in front of it and using visualization with positive intention techniques, it will help to balance the Chakra’s each morning. The wall opposite is a Tree …. helping to ground your energy. I will post more pictures as it comes along.

So my Mother has been telling me for quite some time to stop at this store in Delavan that they might be interested in my Art. Finally I did, and I am so grateful to be a part of it now!  There is such a good vibe with everyone involved. You will find my Vintage Marble & Glass Tile Pendants there as well as the Abundance Bottles. They have a very nice selection of Artists and consignment clothing. Stay tuned for future classes and workshops here.  I hope you enjoy the Classy Sassy atmosphere!

Faye Blakely the Owner, and Debbie Swenson the Manager have created an awesome Artisans Consignment Boutique. There is also new and consignment clothing and accessories.  Faye has many great workshops and classes scheduled in an interesting array of subjects… more to come.

I’ve been working hard to get more listings on my Etsy sites…. Hope you love the new items!! Also I am now listing all my vintage on http://www.sassmamavintage.etsy.com

The advantages of shopping at an open house…

I thought it might be nice to point some of these things out.

When you shop at an open house, you get to see the creative space and get a better perspective of how the creative process works. Of course you get to know the artist a little better when you share a glass of wine and some homemade cookies.

A big benefit is that because of the lower overhead vs a show or store that would add consignment fees, is that the artist is able to lower the prices giving you some great deals on last minute shopping!

Who knows what else? You might run into someone you met briefly before and felt like you really connected. Leading to a serendipitous moment that propels you into a lifetime of happiness. Well, I don’t know if I can promise you that, but everything else is very happening this Saturday… Hope you can make it.
