Spring ArtWalk in St. Charles – this weekend!
I am honored to be asked to be a part of the St. Charles Riverfront Spring Art Walk this weekend. I will be at 116 North Main Street, in a chapel, with 8 other talented artists. In addition to my glass jewelry, I will have some of my mixed media pieces available for sale & viewing! See wonderful creative works – hear talented musicians – taste some lovely wines – have a great time!
While you’ve there, stroll through Old Town St. Charles to the Glass Workbench - one of my favorite stained glass shops is also hosting its own Spring Art Contest – I have one stained glass entry, an entry in fused glass, in collaboration with Pat Kenya, and my niece Micah Streubel has a stained glass & painted werewolf entry…
Why does the mermaid cry? What if your home was everyone else’s trash can? Oil spills & much worse…
Just in time for Valentine’s Day – Swarovski crystal bracelets – red is $15 and pink & purple is $18
Another Christmas come & gone – did you GIVE what you wanted to for Christmas? Not Did you GET what you wanted – I meant GIVE.
I found more joy in giving & surprising people this year – people who did not expect it – way more than in the nice things I received as gifts.
I don’t regret anything I gave – my gift was how it made me feel so good. I am thankful to have an art form (glass jewelry) that most people appreciate receiving.
I started out this holiday season to give handmade & homemade – and I did, and it brought joy! I love the handmade, homemade gifts I received as well – much more than the things box stores were foisting off on people. (Enough with the microfleece already!)
I would have liked to give more to those in need – but at least I gave some, in my corner of the world. when and where I could.
My Christmas moment this year came in AUGUST – writing 15 letters “fromt Santa’s elves” to school children for a friend’s friend who is a teacher. I had a jolly time, and the kids who got them enjoyed them too I heard…
Spreading joy and kindness – that’s what it’s all about…even if it doesn’t help the bottom line – it helps each heart.
May you always delight in simple things and give from the heart!
