We have three shows remaining for our 2016 season, and then Whew! we'll be at home for some much-needed down time. All three of these shows are sweet to us because they're close to home, but even more so, they're full of great handmade items. 

Check out our website and Facebook page

Hey, friends! I'll be migrating away from this blog and posting on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/hearttohearthandmade) and our website (www.hearttohearthandmade.com). Check us out there. Our show schedule for the year is posted on the web page under "shows". It's going to be a packed 2016 for us! We're returning to many of our favorite shows, and have a couple of new ones tucked in there. Thank all of you for being part of the journey, and we hope you'll continue to follow our adventures!

2016 Shows

Hey, friends! Our busy fall season is over (whew!) and it's time to organize and plan for the 2016 season. I'm trying to simplify and update some of our methods of keeping in touch with you. Last year I put together a website and I've been active on our Facebook page. If you want to view our show schedule, take a look at new stuff as it shows up in the booth, or see when our shop in Kiel has open, please bookmark those sites. Eventually I'm not going to be posting on this blog, as there's one on the website. There's also an email list on the website that you can join; I'll be sending out email invites to events at the shop or other announcements as they come up. Not too often, I promise. We're looking forward to another great year, and thank you for your enthusiasm and support. We are so grateful and amazed that this crazy creative, gypsy lifestyle has supported us for so many years. We never ever take it for granted!

Milford Memories

Last chance to catch us at a show this year, Michigan! Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Milford! www.milfordmemories.com

Spring Green Arts and Crafts Festival

We'll be in Spring Green, Wisconsin for the Arts and Crafts Festival this weekend. Love this show, and always enjoy spending a little time in this part of the state. The landscape is spectacular and the 

town is so interesting! Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin is there, House on the Rock is nearby, the American Player's Theatre is right down the road, and downtown there are several interesting shops. Heart to Heart will be next to the round bank, as usual!

The Garden Expo

This is the mirror we're donating for the raffle at the Garden Expo in Madison this weekend. Wisconsin Public TV puts on a great event for the winter-weary; I love smelling a little warm earth and seeing fresh plants in mid-winter! Buy your raffle tickets right inside the entrance and then stop in and see us in booths 122 & 123. Go to wigardenexpo.com for more info on the show.

New Website!

Hi Friends! I just wanted you to know that I have put together (finally) a website. It has contact information, my show schedule and eventually will have a selection of our items that you can purchase online. Keep in mind that yours truly put this site together Sunday and that more good stuff will be added. This is a skeleton version at the moment. You can also sign up for my email list there. I'll send notices occasionally (not too often!) on events or specials. Please hop on over to check it out! www.hearttohearthandmade.com

Open Studio Hours

I'm having open hours this year for my local peeps who'd like to stop in. We've been road warriors for a long, long time, doing shows all around the country. It's funny that most people in our part of the world have no idea that we are here. When we returned from our shows, this was our refuge and we needed down time. I've been taking some steps to introduce Heart to Heart to our neighbors, and it has been great meeting them!

     Oh, I have been neglecting my little blog here, I know....but I've just updated my show list for the fall and included my booth numbers. It was pointed out to me that I hadn't included the Cranberry Festival in Warrens, WI and YES, we will be there in a new location near the Post Office. Please come see us there, I'm afraid we'll be lost in the depths of that crazy show. We'll have a well-stocked booth! 
     We were also called off the wait list for Christmas in the Country in Hamburg, New York. It's a show that we did many times in the past, but it's been several years since we've done it. Should be fun! www.wnypremierpromotions.com I usually try to squeeze in a quick trip to see Niagara Falls. I'm sure it's still there ;)
     For those of you who would like to keep up with us, I've been pretty good at posting both photos and our show list on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/hearttohearthandmade.  
   

Michigan

Green, blue, purple and rusty kitties are boarding the boat with us for Ludington and Plymouth, Michigan! Hoping for smooth sailing and no whoop-de-doos on the big lake.

Excelsior, Minnesota

We'll be at our second consecutive show in the Twin Cities area this weekend (we love Minnesota, by the way). We'll have a double booth on the shores of Lake Minnetonka at Art on the Lake in Excelsior for the first time. Looking forward to it! Hope it doesn't rain! We'll have lots of great stuff for 'ya in booth #105.

Summer. It's right around the corner. I hope. Anyway, we're ready for it in case it decides to show up!

Artsapalooza

It looks like the weather for this weekend will be fabulous for Artsapalooza! We're enjoying the warm weather and the dogwood blossoms. Setting up the show tonight, and we'll be open tomorrow morning for the show in booth #78. http://www.sandyspringsartsapalooza.com for info.

Don't those birds in your back yard need a nice little boho birdhouse this summer??

Oh, my! Spring looks like it's finally on it's way! Our show schedule for 2014 is getting full. There'll be several new events (Georgia, Maryland, Michigan) and lots of our old favorites. Woot!

Des Moines, Iowa

We're packing up and leaving a day early to get to Des Moines for our show at the State Fairgrounds this weekend. Hopefully we'll beat the latest in a seemingly endless number of blizzards. There's lots of new stuff in the trailer, hope we see lots of our Iowa friends!

Open Studio Hours Today!!

We're open at the shop today (January 24) from 10 to 3 and tomorrow (Jan 25) from 11 to 3. Lots of sweet stuff here for Valentine's Day! 

Good News

After several years' absence I'm excited to let you know that we'll be returning to two shows in the Southeast in March! We'll be at the Craftsmen's Spring Classic shows in Columbia, South Carolina (March 7-9) and in Richmond, Virginia (March 14-16). These are two shows that we did for 15 years or so, and we're hoping to see lots of our customers and crafter friends again!

It's going to be cold for the Cash 'n Carry Wholesale Market in Madison on Monday but the booth will be bright and cheery! Some of the new stuff is in very limited supply, so don't tarry. 

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!
