Elmhurst – woo hoo!
July 19, 2013
It’s hard to believe that a week ago I was doing my usual final push to paint for the Elmhurst Garden Faire and Walk on July 14, and that it’s already come and gone. What a great day it was! A beautiful setting and near perfect weather set the stage that morning and I sold the stool shown below before the faire even officially began. THANK YOU to everyone who came by to check things out – particularly, of course, those of you who purchased some of my favorite things. I love seeing items go to happy homes. Although Archie the Cat was disappointed that the toolbox didn’t come back with me, he’s moved on already and found alternative places to nap.
I’ll keep you posted on my next stop. Meanwhile, I’ll be playing with new color combinations and seeking out unique items. Every watering can I painted sold this season, so I’ll be focusing on more of them. Let me know what else you’d like to see!

Congratulations jen! I would really like to see some fence/wall art. I started to do that recently and am having a hard time finding cool painted art. So I am doing. That myself and not so good at it. Most ppl call this Mexican art but the last couple I purchased was from china.
Let me know. Good luck!
