If you missed the earlier posting with Studio Art Tour winners, here they are: Gretchen Stoddard - Willow Creek Studio Fran Lynch - Bonnie's Borealis Glassworks Alea Sidelinger - WillowAK Pottery Congratulations!  * * * For folks who did not get to the recent studio tour, here are some of the ornaments and buttons now available.  Check with your local gift shop or yarn/quilt shop -- or contact me and I can tell you where they are available, in addition to at my studio in Willow. All are made of porcelain ... with a generous pinch of personality added.  On most of the ornaments, I am happy to add a name upon request, if you want it personalized. Button cards typically sell for $12,  moose ornaments $15, fox and fish $12, all others $10. No charge for personalizing at the studio, but there will a shipping cost if you can't stop by.  Unique, handmade, affordable gift items. 

A Good Day...In Many Ways!

Last Saturday turned out to be a great day in Willow, indeed.   Those who participated in the 5K Fun Run reported nice conditions and good exercise, with plenty of time remaining for the Studio Art Tour and the Plant Sale Fundraiser for the library.  We saw lots of familiar faces as well as new faces on the tour, and folks seemed pleasantly surprised by what was being offered in the way of handmade pieces of glass, wood, fiber, clay, etc.   Won't go into a lot of detail, but by the end of the day many creations found new homes, folks had shopped for gifts --wedding, birthday, housewarming, hostess, and more -- and selected pieces for their own homes and collections. In many ways it was a beneficial event, thanks to those who came out to see and support artistic and fundraising efforts in the community.  Lots of socializing and positive spirit along the way.  Yes, three gift certificates were awarded; congratulations to our winners:  • Gretchen Sto...
