The Very Merry Holiday Fair


This is the sweetest show to end a long season! Just to celebrate and spread a little holiday cheer I'll be doing a giveaway in Baraboo at the Very Merry. Keep an eye on my Facebook page for the announcement (facebook.com/hearttohearthandmade). I'm not chintzing on this one, either, so heads up! Details on the event here: http://www.theverymerryholidayfair.com

Marquette


These two beauties will be headed to the Upper Peninsula this weekend for our show in Marquette. We'll be fully stocked on signs, Christmas stakes and ornaments, as well as our garden whimsies. It's a really nice show with some very talented artisans that I only see when I get this far North (I always get some of my Christmas shopping done there). It's an added bonus to be on the shores of Lake Superior. Beautiful part of the world!

We'll have a big yellow mirror, a nice barn wood mirror, a smaller blackboard, and lots of Christmas signs, stakes and ornaments in the trailer when we head to Shakopee, Minnesota this week. (And of course we always have our birdhouses and yard art, too). Expect some sparkle!

Yes, we will have some holiday whimsy for our last shows of the year. I made these sparkly corrugated stars with banners in two sizes. They'll be packed in the trailer for Shakopee. Booth A1 & 2 in the big white tent, like usual!

Cats and Bats and Pumpkins

Of course we have a new cat this year. It would make a lovely, scary door decoration.

Fall Season


Hello friends! We've been buried in the shop all month getting ready for the fall season. I'm going to post a few photos this week of some of our new things (we haven't been slacking!).

Autumn Shows

Well, I know it has been a looooong time since I posted on my blog, but since the end of May I've done all of my wonderful summer shows plus squeezed in a move to a new home. Whew! Today I updated my show list, which was missing lots of info. I hope we get to see you at one of these events! We're scrambling in the shop to regroup and build great stuff for 'ya.

Over the Top

Here's a piece that I painted today for my friend in Dubuque...it's part of a raised panel door. Sue asked me to do this "over the top" so I obliged. I think I'm going to add a little blue swallow in the upper right-hand corner, and after it's varnished it will be finished.

Studio Hours This Week

We've decided against the long drive to Dunwoody, Georgia this weekend because of the rain that is predicted there. Sad. HOWEVER this means that the studio will be open for our peeps who live close to Kiel!

Thursday and Friday from 9am to 5pm
Saturday from 10am til 4pm
Mother's Day ??



If I get enough feedback on my Facebook page (www.facebook.com/hearttohearthandmade
I may just put out some chocolate and coffee and open up so you have a fun place to take Mom on Sunday!

Funky Junk

My friend Sue Coates gave me this funny little watering can to decorate for her. I puzzled over it, but love how it turned out. It sits in front of my first yellow mirror. The mood is summery Up North!

A Little Rustic


I'm still in love with rustic, unpainted, chippy old stuff even though most of my work in the last few years has been very colorful. I still find the need occasionally to indulge, expecially when we come across a beautiful batch of weathered barn wood. What do you think?

Open Studio Hours

Hey Peeps, I have the next two weekends show-free, so I'm opening my studio to shoppers!

It's full to bursting with stuff....if you need a unique Mother's Day gift or an excuse for a road trip, now's the time! I'll be posting pics to highlight what's here, and will put together a give-away in a couple of days. Go to my facebook page (www.facebook.com\hearttohearthandmade) and "like" Heart to Heart to be sure you get details on that.

So, as for hours? Today thru Saturday (April 25-27 from 9-5) and next week from Monday thru Saturday (April 29-May 4).

Thank you all for a fantastic trip to Gulf Breeze, Florida and Fairhope, Alabama. Great shows and good fun! It is, of course, also a treat to spend a couple of days on the beautiful white sand beaches south of Pensacola. It was a little blustery one day, but we enjoy the beauty of the Gulf in all weather.

Gulf Breeze and Fairhope

We've got the trailer jammed full and we're ready to head SOUTH!! Looking forward to our weekends in Gulf Breeze, FL and Fairhope, AL. We've got new stuff for our fans, as well as lots of our old favorites. I'm hoping I don't need 4-wheel drive to get there, tho...another major winter storm is passing thru today and tonight. We'll try to sneak thru behind it tomorrow. The snowbanks are like mountains here in Wisconsin, and I can't wait to feel that beautiful white sand between my toes when we get to the Gulf!

My Funny Valentine

I love the proliferation of hearts in February. They're everywhere! I've had a love affair with the shape since the early days of my designing career; they're sweet, old fashioned, funky and just a little bit cheesy. And Valentine's Day means that Spring can't be too far away!

I've been busy sending out show applications this week, so keep an eye on my show list for updates. We're returning to many of our favorite venues and trying for a couple of new shows. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get into a couple of them!
