There are hand-painted one-of-a-kind ornaments. Some are classic. Most are interestingly different subjects for ornaments.

My friends, the ones who love to shop garage sales, brought me turned wood recycles which I painted with original designs.

This is not just a Studio Sale. It is an Open House. A chance for us to visit, share time, sip hot mulled cider and sample home-made goodies. There's even a small gallery to see what new art I've been making.
There's really only one thing I ask (besides YOUR presence): Please bring canned goods for the collection bin. If we fill the bin, each person who contributed will be entered for a chance to win a very special art piece. See you SOON!
This blog travels to many places - too far to actually join us this weekend. I wish you could. However, your spirit and the spirit of giving will be.
