So far, we'll be at:
June 5-7: Eastside Millenium Art Festival, Chicago

I'm still waiting to hear back from a couple of shows... I'll be sure to keep the website up to date - check out the Events page for updated info.
Sadly, we won't be exhibiting at the Wells Street Art Festival this year, because we did not get in! This brings up a whole new can of worms... how to get our art to the public, without having to go through a "gatekeeper" (aka - show juries!). Without getting into too much detail, I am seriously considering starting to sell art directly from the new website. After the dust settles from our move (in case you haven't heard, my husband & I are moving a short distance... which includes both of our home based businesses) & we see how this show season pans out, we'll likely be considering a few new avenues to get our products to the public.
Here's a sneak peek at a few new items:
Hotel Laundry vintage painted mirror -
Flower Shoppe themed painted door panel sign - with original green paint -
Jardin de Provence painted door panel sign, with original paint finish -
Now this is a fun project currently underway for our Editions Speciales line....here is the before picture - an antique highboy dresser...
Here it is in the works - it has been outfitted with 6 vintage P.O. box doors, with working combinations. The top drawer has been removed & subsequent opening "slotted" so mail can be deposited into each of 6 boxes. In this photo, it is just back from "carpentry land" - aka - Dad's workshop (thanks Dad!). A new finish & hardware has yet to be applied. Check this one out in person at one of our retail shows... once it's finished, you'll find it on the website under Editions Speciales.
Thanks for stopping by! We're looking forward to an exciting season of retail shows with new products, along with a new workshop location for us. I'll be sure to share more pictures of our home renovation as we make more progress... take care - Amy
