The hammer is down and I’ve made all the wire pieces I can make for Custer’s Last Stand. Here’s a sneak peek at the pieces that will be present on Saturday and Sunday. My friend and tent lender Jason McPhillips is bringing his paintings, including cowboys and Indians, like General Custer and Crazy Horse. The […]

The other day it was overcast, but I felt totally in love. May certainly has my heart this year. Sure, it requires allergy relief (I use the homeopathic Sabadil from Whole Foods), but I was ready to swoon at the sight of the vibrant colors and gorgeous flowers. It was raining petals while birds were […]
Apparently writing about Spring alerted my Sinuses and I’ve had to keep a low profile the past week to deal with pollen instead of blogging. I love the flowers though. You can catch me sniffing these along the street, what an irresistible scent! My favorites are out now. Tulips flourish. The sun is bright and […]
Changing seasons are very distracting to me. I am more sensitive to weather this year, getting antsy when the winds whip around the house at night, feeling pensive under grey skies, and becoming jittery on sunny days when spring is in bloom and birds are calling for mates. Wednesday lured me outside with its summer […]
Sometimes a holiday sneaks up on me, which is a no-no as I venture into retailing world. But May 12 is Mother’s Day, and to get the gift to the main nurturer in your life, orders need to be placed now in order to get them shipped in time. Interestingly, this May 12 honors mothers […]
It’s Springy! We’ve had some fabulous weather over the past few days. There was a gorgeous pink moon on Thursday. I also enjoyed watching the plane constellations shift. Someone wasn’t sure what all the moongazers were doing in its territory. Trees are blossoming. Birds are claiming their territory on a neighboring tree. Squirrels munch on […]
Working on back-end logistics is time consuming but worthwhile. Prompted by all the art marketing resources I’m working on a newsletter set-up, and still trying to determine how I want Bento to work for me. Over Easter weekend it was rather springy around here, and here are some snapshots of my walks. These lions made […]

I was born in the Netherlands and grew up with the secular version of Easter, blended with German traditions and food as well. We dyed eggs, had an egg hunt on Easter morning, and enjoyed a fabulous Easter Brunch that featured butter in the shape of a lamb, home-baked braided bread, boiled eggs served in […]
Nope, I didn’t work on the pendant descriptions I had every intention to write. Saturday morning became frustrating as I fruitlessly searched online for findings that I know exist but apparently can only be found in 24-packs at Michael’s for now, instead of through a wholesaler. That’s the trickery of the Internet. You think that […]
I intended to have a lovely post written up but instead am immersed in paperwork (why does that always take longer than we think?). So here are some snow pictures from yesterday. We may be ready for Spring but nature is not. As the Dutch saying goes: “Maart Roert z’n Staart” I hope this is […]
