Summer Up North

Well, its another weekend in the Northwoods. I will be in Torpey Park on Saturday, even if its raining, unless its monsooning (sp?)...you never know. If you can't make that show, then come to St. Germain on Monday to the Flea Market. It's bound to be okay that day.

I will try post some pics of my work from time to time on this site, as people ask me all the time to do so. If you have a lake/cottage you are interested in me doing, just email me and we can discuss the possibility, whether you have your own pics, or I provide them.

If you haven't yet, join me on Facebook, as I tend to post more often there. I keep the blog for those who do not use Facebook. Thanks for following, and I appreciate the "Likes" I get on Facebook.

Summer is Revving Up It's Engines

I missed the last two St. Germain Flea Markets, and I am sorry if you came looking for me. I will be there on July 2. and all the rest in July, for that matter. I needed the weekend to prepare for the month of July. The good news is, that I will be able to offer pieces that you have not seen before. I am discontinuing my FDC artwork, which are the smaller pieces. I will be offering the 8 X 10 prints at a discounted price from now on until they are gone.

This includes my Wizard of Oz prints, and all the themed prints I have been offering. I decided to start painting again, and want to concentrate on the paintings a little more. I will be combining the paint vignettes and calligraphy and collage work together. I still would like to work with the quilting pieces, and so, I have to give up something.


I have a Facebook page for my art, too. It's called Shebrews Artistic Expressions, if you want to "Like" it.
I keep the blog because not all people are Facebook people.

Thanks for checking in! I will be back soon!

Walk in the Woods Art Fair St. Germain

The day begins at 4 am. But we arrive on the spot at 4:58. The moon is still high in the sky and no one is around........

This early sometimes one needs a flashlight to see the numbers. Anne did a great job marking them in bright colors.

We unload as quickly as we can so we can move our vehicle and its not in anyone else's way.

This is where the wine and cheese will be served. The cheese was soooooooooooooo good. Sargento' finest. Made in Antigo, Wisconsin. Wish I could have purchased some, but they were only giving samples.

Alright! The sun is shining bright and people are coming out.

AND I got a surprise visit! Hurray! Thanks friends for coming to see me! 

Where has the Summer Gone?

Jen is smiling but she is cold. She is my potter friend.

It was one of those days when you can't wait to go inside and warm up. Actually, I had dreams of a woodstove and warm soup. It is one of my last three trips Up North and it welcomed me good. I love going Up North and already am lamenting its end.

Well, we got new interfacing for our blogs and I am not quite sure how to use it yet. We will see. If this is goofy, its all their fault.....This is Robin, my good friend who does wonderful batik on shirts, sweatshirts and pictures.

You can see that people are dressed warmly. I had a very good day, anyway. Now, come and see me at Minocqua's Torpey Park for Beef-a-Rama on Saturday, Sept. 24, I will be along the parking lot by the Minocqua Brewery. 

I didn't get soup and a fire place, but I made me some mean Sauerkraut and Pork when I got home. I can still cook......lol. Caramel apple time and hunting has started. It is officially fall, summer is over........

A Walk in the Woods Art Show

This is the part of my display that I highlight my Wizard of Oz things. It is amazing how popular these things are. I noticed that in Minocqua there is a store that carries WOZ things, and Lucy, and Snoopy, John Wayne, Audrey Hepburn, Three Stooges, Betty Boop, and a few other classic themed things. I would have bought a Beatles thermos had they still had it, but there were none left. They also carry the Beatles things.

This show turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I am hoping it is a sign of the other art shows to come. I did better than I did last year. I felt that lots of people attended and they were buying. The weather was unbelieveably perfect. This is a fine art show, so no crafts. It is relatively small, around 50 exhibitors, I think. I wonder about doing it, as I do a lot of shows in St. Germain, but this crowd is different.

I had lots of display space as  I had two and I was an island. There was an aisle in front and back, so I just left it open both sides. At this point, I really don't think there are any bad spots. Eventually, it looks like they want to run them through the woods along the trail, but I am not sure any of us want to be in there because of the mosquitos. 

I am off for the next two weeks, but then I will be in St. Germain again the 3rd and 4th of July. Come and see me there!
