let the soldering commence...

(waiting for jump rings)

just a quick sneak peek at some of the new 

soldered pendants for this weekends show...

4th Annual Recycled Art Market

held at 

City High/Middle School

1400 Fuller Ave NE

Grand Rapids, MI.

I am so excited about this show,

at least 50% of your artwork must be recycled.

love that.

I think that the upcoming election must be having

a subconscious effect on my artistic choices...

as I picked through a bag of vintage stamps my love of 

our country and history took over and I chose

the presidents over flowers.

I also added the Statue of Liberty, and some historical landmarks 

along with crystals, old marbles, beach glass

and a truly wonderful wooden pink yardstick

that was broken, now is found...

as soldered charms.

Lots more to do,

much creative brainstorming going on over here!

My east coast babes are well,

and for that I am eternally thankful.

My babes at home are down with

the flu and on good advice

we are going to be getting some grape juice today,

Thanks Z!

So no trick or treating pics to show,

we stayed in and watched movies.

O.k... back to work 

Thanks for stopping by, 

I always enjoy your company!

love,

Theresa

Vintage Inspiration Friday

Thanks for the party Debra!

Art Prize is back!

Our booth changes with every show.  

When I suggested to Duane that we start taking the china cabinet with us,

the look on his face said it all.

"whaaaaaaaaat?"

It only took a little persuasion for him to 'see' the vision.

I don't think it's coming back into the house any time soon!

Plus we have the sweetest friends,

Denise and Don found this fabulous old, huge ironing board

at a garage sale and not only picked it up for us but

fixed it up to make it sturdy again!

Thanks again you two... you are awesome!

So where are we next?

Last year I told you about Art Prize in Grand Rapids,

here are some photos that I took to give you a small idea of 

the fabulousness of Art Prize...

this is made with paper pulp!

incredible mosaic detail for her skirt...

cowboy...nuff said ;)

needle felted by design students...

so what does any of this have to do with us?

The Old White House will be vendors at 

Art -2- Art

I am giddy,

 GIDDY,

I tell you!

We will be there every day from Oct.1-6

from 12pm until 10pm

don't have it all figured out on how we will pull that off,

but I think with all of the entertainment

that they have planned in the space we will be having so much fun

that the hours will fly by!

They are having a vaudeville/circus theme,

with live acts on every floor every day all day!

We will be on the second floor with

music and other entertainment every night from 6-10.

GIDDY

can you blame me?

The booth will be full of our natural laundry and cleaning provisions

plus new pumpkins, lots of new pumpkins!

(this one is sold but I have a few grain sacks left...)

I hope you can make it!

Art Prize is an amazing collection

of super talented artists from around the world,

all competing for the grand prize of 

$100,000

YOU

get to vote for the winner!

I will tell you, it's a difficult task to find

just one winner though, 

the talent is over the top!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

love,

Theresa
