Mermaid bag art

Hello....here's what my shopping bags will have on them for the Farmer's Market and Studio.....cherrio! xo

Garlic Scapes

Jeffrey grows garlic, so for the farmer's market, we nestled the garlic scapes he picked with my painted mermaid rocks and such....

I made a little cookbook for our customers.....

We made the dip tonight and it was delicious! Tomorrow, garlic scape pesto...

onward.....xoxox

I'm Bad

Sorry for the tardy posts....I've been getting ready for the Farmer's market here on Saturday 9 to 1 ! I'm bad....I'm bad....you know it....The only other person who can dance better than me MJ RIP xoxox

I'm Smitten

I'm Smitten is a wee web site offering hand screened handbags, t shirts and stationery....It reminds me of Shakespere's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" ....Marty, my son was "Nick Bottom" in a little production when he was 10ish and Paul was the "chink in the wall" ( Basically, a cardboard box painted like a stone wall....but I think he had a line or two...)....I made both costumes, and the head in the I'm Smitten site reminds me of it even though it's a deer's head.I've been listening and watching to their site for years...the sound track is from a band called "Rachels"...So soothing....check it out zzzzz xoxoxo

If I were a Pirate, this would be my ship....don't know where the image is from as it was sent to me via email with no clue...Thanks to whom ever took it! I love the sails........xo
