Have a Happy Fall and Winter everyone!

The weather is changing and I will be heading to visit family back in Ohio next week, so I will not be coming back to the Farmer's Market this year. I had a wonderful time selling my Petra's Petals artwork down on the corner this Spring and Summer. I met some amazing artist selling their art and talked to some amazing people as well.  I am already looking forward to next Spring!  I will be working on my inventory over the Winter!! Hope to see you all next year!! Thank you to everyone that loved my art and bought more than 400 pounds of rocks, beach glass and canvases from me this year!!!! I love and appreciate you all!!!

I have enjoyed myself decorating rocks and beach glass this past week. I also worked on a couple of new canvases as well.

I WILL NOT BE AT THE FARMER'S MARKET THIS WEEK.

Even though I will not be at the Market this Saturday the 15th I am decorating a new pile of rocks and beach glass!! And a couple of new canvases as well. BIG inventory of Petra's Petals on the 22nd.

ART...IN SO MANY WAYS!!

In this post I would like to share someone I met selling his amazing artwork his name is Leroy.  He makes little turtles out of shells, ladybugs and little birds magnets. What is truly amazing about Leroy is that he makes these little creatures to raise money for different charities that he supports. 100% of all his earnings go to the Food Bank, prostrate cancer or diabetes foundation. He personally shared with me his donation receipts and it is a remarkable number! He is down on the corner of the Bellingham Farmer's Market on Saturdays making a difference. Come on down and see his amazing art and support him in raising money for his charities. He is the jolly man wearing a silly hat covered in birds and turtles as well as a buzzard on his shoulder! 

THE HAT LADY

Fall is coming! If you want a warm cozy hat come on down to the Farmer's Market and talk to Karen. She has some really nice ones for all ages.

Nevertheless I am posting my newest creation inspired by the cool breeze and leaves falling from the trees. Hope to see you down on the corner this coming Saturday.

FUN TIMES AT THE FARMER'S MARKET!

Once again I enjoyed myself at the Farmer's Market yesterday! I really have a great time talking to people and watching children get excited over my rocks!! It brings me great pleasure to share my art with everyone. I enjoy talking to the other artist and enjoy looking at what they bring to the market as well. There are some amazing artist down on the corner!! 
My returning customer: Every week I have an elderly gentleman come up to my table and examine every rock before he decides on his favorite. He then buys it and I wrap it up in tissue paper and off he goes. Before closing time he appears at my table side again with his regular routine. He always tells me that he gave the rock away and he needs another one for himself. And he always thanks me for wrapping it up for him.  What a lovely and thoughtful man.
