Good news for our friends in Iowa! We will be at the Beaux Arts Festival in downtown Davenport on Mother's Day weekend (May 7-8). It's a great opportunity to take Mom to a fun little art show. We'll be on the East end of the show on 2nd St. Lots of colorful stuff in our booth just in time to brighten up the outdoors now that the grass is getting green and the frost is out of the ground.

We've had a great time at our Spring shows so far. We had beautiful weather in Florida and Alabama and met so many wonderful people in our booth. We hope we can repeat that trip as it felt as much like vacation as work. The wisteria and dogwood were blooming, and for a northerner having left home in a blizzard it was a little bit of heaven. Just enough to tide a person over until our fragrant lilacs start to bloom. Nothing can beat that! Last weekend our dedicated fans in Minnesota came out in droves for the Spring Festival in Shakopee; I've never seen a line like the one before the show opened on Friday morning! We've got a couple of weekends off to catch up for our May shows, and to design a couple of new things....Au revoir
