It's a Major Award!

Okay, I know that a major award really is a lamp shaped like a ladies leg, but doesn't it sound fun to say "Major Award!"
As a last minute entry to Art in the Park I wasn't expecting to take home an award. I wasn't able to attend the dinner where they announced the awards since my mother in law had been watching Greta all day and I needed to get home. So when I arrived the next morning and people kept coming by congratulating me it was such a nice surprise!
I won "Most Unique Art" (and yes! ***grin**** $200.00)

My booth display.
At one time we counted 27 shoppers in my tent!

Buckle Up on Etsy

I make belt buckles because I love accessories. And I love fun accessories. I make upcycled buckles because I can. So I've moved them into their own little space on Etsy. It's called BuckleUp and so far there is only one listing, but as soon as the resin has cured I'll have a whole new batch o' buckles to list. So stay tuned, and stay safe, buckle up.

Donate your jar lids or mint tins and receive $5.00 off any belt buckle, either on etsy or at the capitol city public market.
