Thanks to everyone who came out for all the holiday shows! November and December was full of shows and Christmas gift orders. Thanks to each of you!

This was early one morning before Colorfest began. Sometimes, it is important to sit quietly in nature. Observing. Listening-inwardly and otherwise.
About a month ago, I got to participate in the Kentucky Fried Zine Fest for the first time. I really enjoyed being there and appreciate them inviting me so last min. You should try and come by next year if you can. They even had a table where you could make a page to add to a community zine, which was fun to contribute to.
Beautiful day at an orchard on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Spruce Pine, NC!
Best view ever hands down!!!
Since I was accepted into the KY Crafted program last fall, I was eligible to participate in Ky Crafted: The Market....and I was SO excited!!! This show features mostly KY artists who are all part of this program. There is one full day of wholesale and then two days that are open to the public for retail. While it was a long week leading up to it having just gotten back from Philly, I was so glad to be there. Wholesale day went really well. I met buyer's from KY as well as other states and also saw many of my current KY retailers. Everyone was so congratulatory and excited to see me be a part of the show. The whole weekend really felt like a celebration. The retail days were fun, and it felt like most of Lexington came out for the festivities. The KY Arts Council did an amazing job (as always). This is one of the shows I will definitely look forward to doing again!
I was delighted and surprised to see one of my journals on the door as you
headed into the convention center!
