March to your drum

My "March to your drum" pendant was featured in the lovely treasury below by one of my etsy team members, Tina Cauthorn.  As I was looking through the items I fell in love with several of the items.  The lilac photography reminded me of home in upstate NY and I was instantly taken there in my mind.  Lilacs remind me of my childhood and sitting under the lilac trees cherishing the sweet smell of these fragrant flowers.  Some of my fondest memories were of the lilac trees in my yard.

The featured seller for the spotlight is LeeAnn Cisneros.  I love several of her items!  Please look at her shop when you have a chance:  http://www.etsy.com/people/LeeAnnsHeavenScents

There are so many talented artists on etsy and I'm honored to be featured in a treasury with some of them.  To be quite honest there are many times that I am still surprised that people like my stuff.  I continue to create, marching to my drum, knowing that someone out there will identify with it and they will love it as much as me.  I'm grateful for the opportunity to create and to be "treasured".  I hope you know that you are treasured too.  Continue to march to your drum...

Whimsical, Funky Art

If you haven't heard about it you have been missing out on something great for several years now.  Twice a year there is a wonderful art show featuring whimsical, funky, and colorful art of all kinds by a fantastic group of women.  Whimsical Women was founded by two sisters, Luli and Linda, after the death of their mother.  These two extraordinary ladies threw themselves into their art and through their wonderful art they were empowered.  Through their empowerment they set out to empower other women and thus Whimsical Women was created.

Next Saturday, Whimsical Women will be in Chapel Hill, NC at The Village Green at Southern Village located on 400 Market Street from 10-3pm.  You will find an eclectic group of women selling their art of all kinds which will be funky and whimsical to say the least.  You will find fiber art, pottery, wire art, stained glass, jewelry, paintings, repurposed art, clothes, glass work, garden art and much more.

I hope to see you there.  To view some of the art I will be selling  visit:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/whimsicaljewels
