New Exhibition: Vintage Inspired Marketplace

Vintage Inspired Lifestyle Marketplace on Flynn Avenue in Burlington is a new, funky, accessible and beautifully lit space. It is a delight for shoppers wanting to combine a love of antiques, curious goods and art. My friend Mary Heinrich Aloi is the owner. She has a truly inspired eye and her shop is a haven for hunters, pickers and art lovers. The focus of the shop is creating a reconnection to the past.

To kick off the market grand opening, I am featured in an art exhibit along side the wonderful work of Lisa Lillibridge. There's a fun reception planned for the First Friday Art Walk, Friday December 2nd, from 5-8pm. The work will be on view during regular business hours through December 31st. Lisa Lillibridge moved to Burlington, Vermont from South Dakota on New Year’s Day 1990 and started making art. Recently, Lillibridge has been working in wood; carving, painting, pounding found objects and experimenting with various subject matters and finishes. Lisa has created benefit art shows with her son, Ellis Govoni, and participated as an artist-in-residence at The Basin Harbor Club. In her artist statement, Lillibridge states, “I am inspired to live in a community where so many artists donate their art, time and energy to make Burlington such a unique place.” You can find out more about Lisa's work @ http://www.lisilillibridge.com/

5 days and counting

The Queen City Craft Bazaar is this Saturday, May 8th.  I am so excited. It's going to be an awesome show! Don't miss it- 10am to 5pm- Downtown Burlington, 1 Main Street. Right near the waterfront- with FREE parking and FREE admission.

Life here in the little house in Williston has been busy, busy, busy as I have been preparing for this summer's art show season. I've been scouting for materials for my pieces at thrift stores and estate auctions. I've been drilling and nailing and playing with the new Dremel. My hands have been covered in paint and glue. My dining room has been transformed into my staging area, as I try to figure out the best way to configure my booth. I've been updating my email contact list, so I can send out a little quarterly newsletter. And, geez.... I still have jewelry, fabric hearts and maybe some new tags to make and an assemblage that I am hoping to add a light fixture too.
All of this and juggle, the working mom and wife thing. Trying not to freak out too much, this still needs to remain fun.

After QCCB, I will be selling my wares at the Smilie School Spring Bazaar, Saturday, May 22nd.
Stay tuned for more details on that venue and the rest of the craft shows and events I will be at this summer. 


And, oh yes! I almost forgot. Although you might have noticed. The new blog header! You like??
