Books I enjoyed reading

I've opened on Etsy!

Image
I have been encouraged by friends to open an Etsy shop for some of my paintings, and other items that I create. I have always loved the creative aspect in life, started with my design career.  But now I have a chance to go in a different direction and I would love to share it with you. My painting will be very reasonably priced, as I am not a professional, and will be unframed.  That is something that was discussed on Facebook, and oh my... So, check it out and let me know your thoughts!

Traveling

Exhibit at the Chiluly Garden & Glass Center in Seattle What a magnificent collection of art glass at this art center! Right next to the space needle is a must see! We were only in Seattle for one day, so we did one of our favorite things...a city tour. A city tour is always a great idea, even if you have several days.  It gives you the highlights of the city, and also a lot of insight and history! Our last stop was the Space Needle and we decided to stop at the Chiluly Exhibit.  Only one word for it    AWESOME! The museum is small and has 2 main exhibits.  Inside is a collection of different types and phases of Dale Chiluly's work.  Outdoors was another exhibit shown in the gardens. For information about seeing one of the exhibitions go to: chiluly.com/exhibitions

I love the holidays.. All of the wonderful smells..cookies, candles and other goodies. All of the beautiful wrappings, bows & glitter. A real tree with icicles and vintage ornaments.
