Back to school

We had lots of fun at the Strassenfest in Jasper, our booth was quite busy with customers looking for that special necklace or picture frame. I'm sure we'll be back next year.

In September I'll go to Grand Rapids to the Artsprize , a pretty exciting event. The artist with the most votes can win $250,00 , isn't that crazy? If you want to check it out, their website is http://www.artprize.org/

Enjoy the summer, I really like these sunflower cards, aren't they gorgeous?

Jasper Strassenfest

I can't believe it, but summer is going so fast and the Strassenfest will come up sooner than you think. Make sure you save the date, Kathy and I will be there at the Arts Market on Saturday, August 1st at the train depot. We are really excited to show our new fabulous greeting cards with motives taken by Waltraud Weller. She just got back from a trip to Amsterdam, Netherlands! And as you can imagine she made tons of pictures of bikes, which are all over the place in that wonderful city. These are real art objects, decorated with flowers, butterflies and so on. She also made a trip to Ruegen, which is a lovely German island in the East Sea. Can't wait to see these photos!
Kathy has spent some time in Europe with a friend and 4 teenagers ( can you imagine?)!
She is also very excited to showcase her new "Letters" and more of her cute necklaces at the Strassenfest.
Hope to see you there,
Gabi

Sample of our greeting cards

Just want to give you an idea , how our handmade greeting cards look like.

These brilliant, vibrant colors catch everybody's eyes and are the signature of Waltraud's photography. Wouldn't you be pleasantly surprised to find such a colorful envelope in your mailbox next to all your colorless bills and junk mail?

Chalk Walk in Jasper

About 10 days ago we've had our first presence at the ArtsMarket of the annual Chalk Walk in Jasper, In . We've shared a booth with my great friend Kathy Hilger of ELEMENTS in Ireland, IN. It was lots of fun talking to our customers and we really enjoyed the opportunity to show people our unique handmade greeting cards and Kathy's cute necklaces .
Thanks everybody for stopping by and we plan to be back at the Strassenfest on the first weekend in August.
