on the road again!
05.12.2008

i consider myself a pretty lucky girl. :) i've got a great family, a super husband... and a dreamy bohemian life. :)

this last weekend was the art fair at laumeier in st. louis missouri. my mom was able to come with me (it was a memorable mother's day!)... we got to stay with my aunt and uncle and their two beautiful girls... (here's a shout out: "i love you guys!")

i had kinda high expectations for this show... i won't lie. :) it was a big deal that i was even juried in... if mother nature would have just butted out for a few days, i think the weekend would have been perfect. the news said the storm system that moved through the lower midwest on mother's day weekend killed 22 people. some of the artists and vendors at the show lost everything they had. i didn't lose a thing... my booth didn't suffer any wind damage, not a drop of water landed on any of my work. i wasn't a lucky girl... i was a blessed girl.

having a wonderful husband and a great family (immediate AND extended) and being able to lead this life i'm living isn't luck at all. it's unfortuate for me that it takes a close call to remind me that god is taking care of my needs. although, happily, i am grateful for this reminder... and my thoughts and prayers go to all of those who lost livelyhoods and loved ones in the storm that crossed over our heads.

in other news: :) i received news earlier this week that i got into the marion arts festival in marion, iowa! THIS WEEKEND!! (may 17th) i'm very excited to be part of that show again this year. (it was great last year)... then on sunday (may 18th) i have the valley junction spring art market in west des moines, iowa. (see my events calendar for more info)...

Hi there! I have a funky gift shop in downtown Marion....so will be open this Saturday while you are in town. Come check us out and say hi if you are able to get away! The shop is called The Dreaming Bear, 720 11th Street. (behind the bus stop across the street from the park). I remember my customers raving about your work last year. Can't wait to tell them you're coming back! Hooray! -Dori V.

Hey girlie! I wish you would have called me. My kids wanted me to go to the Arts Festival, but we had soccer that weekend, but I could have skipped out on that to see one of my oldest (not age,of course) friends. Keep rockin' that art! You're awesome!!
