Are you a Collector?

When I was a kid - maybe 10 years old - we went on vacation to New Hampshire. I fell in love with the mountains, and the lakes. We stayed on Squam Lake, the same lake from On Golden pond. I've posted about it recently.

My mother loved arts and crafts, and took us to a wonderful place - the New Hampshire League of Arts and Crafts. There, I fell in love with handcrafts (well, I already did love those things, as my Mom sewed and knitted and made bookshelves...) - but handcarved miniatures took a special place in my heart that summer.

These bunnies were some of the first in my collection.

Which has grown over the years -

And I am always adding to it....

This is NOT the whole collection.........

Is there anything that you collect? I'd love to see!

by the way, there's a giveaway going on for BOTH of my shops - Woolies and Buster and boo - over at the rikrak studio.

Drop on by!

Artisan Spotlight

I want to share a wonderful artist with you.

Her name is Stacy, and you can see her work at Foxgloves. She is a needle-felter extraordinaire.

Check out some of her work! She taught me how to needlefelt. I think it takes more patience than I have, or maybe I just lost count of the number of times I stabbed myself.

You could just about bite into that juicy pear, and one day I'd love to have her needle felt my home - like the one above.

Some artists just aren't content with one medium, they must branch out into others. (ahem, like me).

Stacy has just opened her newest shop on Etsy - fantastic, unique and beautiful Jewelry! Where - how did she learn this?? Please stop by Sweet Escargot.

Stacy was wearing a pair of these the other day when we got together - TOO adorable. All hand-fabricated.

I'm in love with this necklace too!

Have a great weekend - just wanted to share!
