Today is the last day to order online and receive in time for Christmas! I have new work listed in my online shop, including these handbound leather journals. Also, this Saturday is my last show of the year. It will be a smaller set-up so let me know if there is something in particular you’d like me to bring. Winter break is almost here!

Today’s feature is the Intentional Maker Gift Boxes. There are several different combinations, and each box has work from a few different makers. This is a great way to support multiple small businesses. I have some with handmade mugs, some with handcrafted watercolors, and others with handmade wood pens. If you would like a custom combination, I do have a few additional pieces that are not listed. Feel free to reach out with any questions about that. These are only available online. If you are local and would like to pick up a gift box at my last art show, please let me know by December 18th. The last day to order online and receive in time for Christmas is December 17th. —- Last Show of the year! December 20 Last Call Art Market Lexington, KY (@westsixth 11am-5pm)

Today’s feature is the refillable leather notebooks. I also have this option in sketchbooks (lined paper versus blank paper). These are great for someone who goes through a lot of paper, isn’t planning on keeping the notebooks, or is nervous about using a handbound book. I’ve seen many people start with these and work their way up to a handbound journal or sketchbook. These are also very popular with professionals and students. That larger size shown takes a regular composition notebook, which is a size that many people already use. I have multiple sizes and style listed in my online shop. December 17 is the last day to place an online order and receive in time for Christmas. —— Last Show of the year! December 20 Last Call Art Market Lexington, KY (@westsixth 11am-5pm)

New shop drop! We are one week out from the last day to order online and receive in time for Christmas. I added some new work to my online shop and will give a little info about different pieces leading up to our last day for shipping. Today’s feature is the minimalist leather bag. This style is my smallest size and is perfect for the essentials. It comes with a crossbody and wristlet strap. It also has a front pocket and an inside pocket. This is what I carry every day. They are lightweight and come in a variety of colors. Link in bio.

Thank you for a full and happy weekend, Columbus Winterfair! It was great getting to see so many familiar faces and catching up a bit with many of you as well meeting new people. I had a very cool full circle moment with someone who used to own a gallery I sold to and is now in a new chapter and was shopping for herself and daughter. So many good moments with people! I have great booth neighbors and enjoy so many of the artists at this show. Thank you also to Roxanne, Kim, and all of ODC and volunteers who orchestrated the weekend! I’ll be working on listing more pieces online over the next few days as well as getting ready for my last show of the year coming up soon: December 20 Last Call Art Market Lexington, KY (@westsixth 11am-5pm) Photo: thanks to Kayla of @tealsaguarowellness for all these photos!

Thank you for your support, your following along, your showing up for small businesses and makers alike. I was making a gratitude list yesterday and definitely included all of you: customers, friends, supporters of all kinds, other artists who travel alongside me, the many show directors and store/gallery owners who make so much of this possible. I am so grateful. If you are wanting to shop for thoughtful, meaningful handmade gifts or support small businesses, please join me this weekend at two wonderful, local events. November 29, Small Business Saturday, I’ll be at the @lexingtonartleague Holiday Market from 12-6pm at the Loudoun House. November 30, this Sunday, I’ll be joining the @kyferalfolk Winter Market from 11-4pm at the @greylinestation. If you are nearby, both of the markets will be full of great makers and so many unique, handmade gifts.

Holiday Markets start this weekend! I will be participating in two really great local events. On Saturday, November 29, I’ll be at the @lexingtonartleague Holiday Market at the Loudoun House from 12-6pm. Join us on Small Business Saturday to shop from local artists and makers. Enjoy live music and refreshments while finding unique handmade gifts at the historic Loudoun House. This is always a fun one as they fill every nook and cranny of that house with artists. All are welcome! On Sunday, November 30, I’ll be joining the @kyferalfolk Winter Market at the @greylinestation from 11-4pm. With support from @amongtheoaksfarm and @kyheartwood, the vision for Feral Folk is to nourish land-based makers and the land itself. What’s truly special about this market is that the vendors are not only handcrafting their goods, but many of them are growing, foraging or locally sourcing the materials themselves. Examples include jams made with local fruit, upcycled clothes dyed with foraged walnuts and goldenrod, sterling silver jewelry made with Kentucky agate, cutting boards and gua sha carved from salvaged wood, locally grown dried floral decorations, Kentucky tallow and ginseng skincare and SO MUCH MORE! Your support helps to keep these land-based crafts alive and our local economy strong. Both of these events are well worth your time and will offer many wonderful handmade gift options. November 29

It’s time for the Intentional Maker Gift Boxes! For those unfamiliar with them, these gift boxes are filled with work that is handmade by multiple artists. The gift boxes are only available online. I will not have them for sell at any art shows, but you can let me know if you want to pick one up at an art show. Be sure to message me in advance if you want to do that. All the Intentional Maker Boxes include a handbound journal and handcrafted tea and/or candle by Forget Me Not Farm. They each also showcase one other maker. “For Contemplation” has a ceramic mug by @kris.busch.1. “For Eco-friendly Watercoloring” has handmade watercolors by @monasartsupply. “For the Mindful Writer” has a handmade wood pen by Steve’s Wood Crafters. There are several maker boxes listed online, but I have some extra mugs and watercolors. If you’d like a different journal combination to go with it, let me know. Please note that I also have other work available online. If you do not see what you are looking for, please message me and I can send you photos of what’s available. With several upcoming holiday shows, I do not currently have time to list more work online. Online orders need to be placed by December 17 if you want to receive them in time for Christmas.

“Whatever happens, stay alive. Don’t die before you’re dead. Don’t lose yourself, don’t lose hope, don’t loose direction. Stay alive, with yourself, with every cell of your body, with every fiber of your skin. Stay alive, learn, study, think, read, build, invent, create, speak, write, dream, design. Stay alive, stay alive inside you, stay alive also outside, fill yourself with colors of the world, fill yourself with peace, fill yourself with hope. Stay alive with joy. There is only one thing you should not waste in life, and that’s life itself...” ~ Virginia Woolf ——- Holidays shows: November 29

Here is a custom order for someone who has several of my pieces. She wanted one of my new medium horizontal designs because it’s slightly bigger than the minimalist purse while still not being too big. Also, I made her this special custom wallet with a key closure some years back, which is not so small. It fits in the minimalist purse, but doesn’t leave much room for anything else. It will easily fit along with some other items in her new leather purse. She chose colors that would match the wallet and took care to pick a brown that wouldn’t scratch easily. She definitely wanted a two-tone look and was pleased with the classy end result.
I’ve been pretty tucked in the past week or so as I’ve been focusing on custom orders and figuring out what is needed as we head into the holidays. I’m excited about my upcoming holiday shows. Each of these is special and fun in its

Vintage Text Blocks

 

I'm so intrigued by old text blocks and the appearance they create by simply being. It's almost like they transport you to a quieter time by their very existence. Text blocks are being used for all sorts of decorative purposes these days.  Even furniture stores like Arhaus are using them in interesting ways:

 When a customer asked if I'd make bookends, this was the first thing that popped into my mind:

If you are interested in any text blocks as bookends or otherwise, just let me know.
