Art Walk ~ EYE CANDY!

Oh my gosh.... I haven't posted in a week or so because I was getting ready for the Art Walk we had in our little town. Thought you'd all enjoy seeing some of the fabulous art! Sorry I didn't get pics of the 17 (!!) Bird Houses that one artist sold!

Here are some of the darling Brownies singing Christmas Carols in front of Sherrie's Fashions. My store is waaaay at the end of the block, you can see it in the distance. Actually, that big redwood tree is in our "Secret Garden" (back yard).

Carol makes these wonderful ceramic Tree ornaments every year. She has sold to the same people every year for the last 10 years.... they LOVE her "Boulder Creek" tree ornies! This year's is amazing! You can see them hanging.... shoulda took a closeup!!

But wait... here's a closeup of some of her other works. She takes her husband's photographs and puts them on these little ornaments, jewelry, night lights, etc. I don't know HOW he can get the hummingbird wings to stop like that! I LOVE the one with the fog in the redwood trees... taken from their deck overlooking our little town!

Here's my little space, in front of our shop window. I loved making those tiny domino tree ornaments. Have sold lots through the shop, so I hurried to make more for the Art Walk, but forgot them at home!! Didn't quite sell out though, so they're in the shop now.

I didn't get a very good shot of Ruth's LOVELY VIRGIN MARY art! Ruth was so excited... she sold three of her fabulous "Hippie" blankets!

Donna Lee's Dolls, shared a table/space with Ginger... her imagination and creativity with her unique dolls has made her a local favorite. I'm always keeping a lookout for unusual brushes or unique things for her to incorporate into one of these charming characters.

I just wish I had taken more pictures!! Everyone was bundled up... but having a ball! Then, at six pm, the fire engines came rolling into town, sirens blaring, announcing the arrival of our OWN SANTA! Santa then proceeded to light our huge Christmas tree. (Honestly, I wasn't asleep... I just forgot to take a pic of the tree! I'll get one later this week.) The fire department hosted a HUGE spaghetti feed. They are a volunteer department, and brother!! WE REALLY APPRECIATE THEM!! Thanks Guys, for all you contribute to our saftety here in the mountains!

Several hundred parents and children sang, laughed and cheered on Santa!

I love living in our little town!
Holiday Blessings to you all!
