Rich Tones Of Autumn

With it being the last day of September I am getting more and more in the Autumn vibe... nevermind that it was still 106 degrees today at Sunset... inside our Home the rich tones of Autumn are abounding and giving the illusion of crisp changing of the Seasons. Our old House is well suited for Autum…

Exciting Things Are On The Horizon!

Besides all the holiday shows I have my photos and jewelry (and even a few knitted items) in a new store in Detroit called<a href="http://www.goodsdetroit.com/"> Goods</a>. They are open now but are also having their <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=149469351752887&index=1">GRAND OPENING PARTY </a>(said in a booming loud voice) this Saturday starting at 7pm. Be sure to stop in and take a look around. Not only can you get any design you want <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">screen printed</span> onto tees but they have lots of handmade goodies from local artists too. And the location is great--right across the street from the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">DIA</span>.<br /><br /><br /><br />And on that note, I'm going to do a trunk show there Dec. 17<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> with Heather Hansma and Casey Janowski. I can't wait for that! You can stop in, have some wine, and do a little Christmas shopping.<br /><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffff00;"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">The</span> Yellow <span style="color:#000000;">Door</span></strong></span><br /></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.yellowdoorartmarket.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522748726618084770" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoso4KBezvxqJilOCnfbUbkSVY-mCqvWbMDR9k6kejfxwVB6H71f28QeKU5BV-d_ilj9m0CH2jstXzMLJMOQDBA7NQNiIYoUuYmV9AqQcLryFfNKTqPCmEwgM4N1IgZ_j_Y_WXqzMrshs/s400/yellow+door+banner.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 110px; CURSOR: hand" /></a>This is a new store that will be opening up in November a few doors down from Catching Fireflies in Berkley called <a href="http://www.yellowdoorartmarket.com/">The Yellow Door Art Market</a>. April, the owner of Catching Fireflies, came up with the idea after traveling down to South Carolina and seeing the art markets inside of warehouses. It's going to be the first of it's kind in Michigan and I'm excited to be a part of it. Artists will be renting space and taking care of their area-merchandising, display, etc yet it will be run by Catching Fireflies and will be open year round like a regular store. You know how much fun <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">DIY</span> was?

The house was amazing but the garage was seriously breathtaking--and I'm not a huge car person either.
