Thanks Ann Arbor

After two days of recovering
..thanks Ann Arbor for the great show.
It was hot and sticky and wet and miserable.
You never disappoint us.
You are 12 and you are 80.
You are have different diverse backgrounds.
You have traveled 1000's of miles
and
you live in Ann Arbor.
There is no other like you.
   Thank you for loving our handbags.  
We appreciate your support!

Ann Arbor...Just Days Away.

Working hard for Ann Arbor.
Had a chipmunk invasion in studio this morning.
 If he was looking for AC
he was disappointed - about 94 degrees in the studio day.
 Opened door and about 30 minutes later he high tailed it out.
We'll be in booth 99 on State St.
 Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair in A2, Michigan.

Madison Farmers Market

Finally...A Saturday OFF!!!
We went to the Madison Farmers Market.
It's fabulous!
It runs from April thru October on the Capital Square.
 I love our beautiful Capital
and
the square that surrounds it! 

A THANK YOU To All Who Helped us this year.

One year ago today, Frank and I where victims of  two smash and grab Hispanic thugs.  We were robbed of all of my husband's artwork in Slinger, Wisconsin. We were followed after an art fair and robbed at an opportune moment.  We watched as the robbers drove away in their powder blue mini van.  The van and thugs carrying a lifetime of work and our future..  Our insurance covered only a tiny fraction of the cost of the work.  We will never recover from what was stolen. So..today, one year later, we would like to
THANK
the following people for their
extraordinary generosity.  
Hugs and love to ALL!
