End of December



breakfast apple in my coat pocket

knit hat in pumpkin orange

tracks made by running rabbits







straw-haired snowman and his tiny sidekick

small hills laced with failed sled attempts






long tall sally shadow 

black boot crunch on geometric ice

a woodpecker's knock

empty path

here i go

Holiday Trunk Show at Jane!!

Days are blurring by like the view from the windows of a moving train.  But it's a pretty view, nonetheless!

Coming up is Mudstar's Trunk Show at the fabulous Jane.  It's where I sold my very first lamp a few years ago, and it's like coming full-circle, even a little like coming home.  My Etsy shop gives a little taste of what's in "store", but not everything....(She says, teasingly...)  And there will even be some little star ornaments made with Jane's logo in mind!  Mmmm....picture Jane Blue glaze...

Jane is lovely.  Jane is chic.  Jane is eco-conscious.  Jane is community-minded.  Jane is kind to artists.  I LOVE JANE.

Please click here for the shop's pretty website, all done up in..what else...hues of Jane Blue.

The show runs from Thursday, December 6th through Saturday, December 8th.  Hours for all three days are 10am to 8pm.  On Thursday, Mudstar will be paired up with Lisa Ham, who makes these beautiful, ribboned gift items. Love her colors!




Come scoop up some colorful, handmade holiday gifts made by local folks - something for everyone!  And as always, especially at this time of year, I am so grateful for these opportunities, for my sweet customers, for kind store managers and shop keepers, for local businesses.  Thank you.
