Fortunately, it was a beautiful weekend for our 6th Annual Holiday Folk Art Show, and we opened our home to many special friends. Our 1939 cottage home smelled of holiday spices and yummy cider to warm our guests as they mingled about. Thanks to ALL who made a little time in their day to stop by, visit and support my holiday art endeavors. I hope you enjoyed the event! We enjoyed seeing all of your smiling faces! Here's a peek for all who missed out on the festivities.... (Of course, there is always next year, but you must be on my local events e-mailing list in order to receive the official invite....) Enjoy the photos!....

* Santas in various heights surround a focal arrangement of vintage silvery decorations...

* A cheery table of snowmen delights welcomes guests as they enter...

* An old drawer is the perfect display for my latest holiday notepad designs...

* Morning shoppers fill the house in search for treasures, some to keep and some to share...

* A retro tree from my mom's childhood now lives with me... perfect for displaying my Santa ornaments...

* A quick photo of me smiling big as the clock strikes 10am, show time!...

* And a quick snap of JP, my "money man" who handles all the numbers and money exchange during my sales.... Luckily, my job is to chat, wrap and sack!...

* And we must not forget Jack showing off his tinsel red collar!.... Cute cute!....

* One of a kind snowmen ornaments dangle from silver painted branches....

* A sampling of sweets await shoppers as they meander through the kitchen...

* A snap of my vintage fridge and a colorful collection of 40s pottery above...

* Cheese and grapes anyone?...

* Through the kitchen and into our breakfast nook you'll find a double-sided
stand displaying many of my illustrated notepads, perfect for the gift-giving season...
