November marks the start of the holiday season.  Before the Halloween candy has been devoured, the stores are already pumping Christmas music in the store, erecting plastic trees, and stocking the shelves.   

Are you ready?

I’m getting there.

I have been working on my Christmas inventory- I have cards and tags.  I have towels in production.  My studio has several new pieces of holiday art in some stage of development- this new art will find its way onto cards upon completion and perhaps some wall art.  As I plan for the holiday shopping season, I would LOVE your input!  What would you like to see on my shelves?  Coasters?  Mousepads? Notebooks?  Bookmarks?  Drinkware? ….  I dare you to share your desires in the comments!  Please be as specific as possible.  For instance, what kind of art are you wanting to see on said object?  If comments aren’t your thing, please drop me an email.  (Every commenter will receive a special thank you in their email!)

I invite you to support local craftspeople and artisans this year.  I do not have plans to participate in any vendor events- but I am at Hummingbird Fine Craft and Spiritual Rose year- round.

Hummingbird Fine Craft is a “full booth” experience, meaning you can buy cards, shirts, prints, original art, towels…  Additionally, there are at least 50 other artists in-house with pottery, visual arts, jewelry, glass art, handmade journals, and MORE!  Throughout the holiday season, Hummingbird FC will also be hosting pop-up artists on the weekends. (My sister-in-law will be there this Saturday, Nov. 11, selling Christmas ornaments.  Go by and check them out!)

Spiritual Rose carries a selection of my greeting cards, prints, and some original paintings.  It’s a locally owned store located near 31st and Harvard that caters to your spiritual needs in whatever form that takes!  Tell them I sent you!

That’s enough for today!  Please share my site and social media with your friends.  Word of mouth is the best!

You will see one more post/letter from me in November- and it will contain a Thankyou gift!  So look for it in the next week or so.

Now-  start prepping those holiday meals.
