6/16 - Art Show Ramblings

The Arts & Wine Fest in Kent, which was on the 5th was a great show....for a couple of hours until the rain started....then the tornado alarm sounded...and then the show was shut down.  

Of course the rain (and the tornado alarm) stopped the second all my items were packed up, but then the second I got to my car to bring it to the spot to pack up my items to head home the rain started again.  I honestly thought that I would never get everything dry, including my own self. 

The good news (aside from getting dry again) is that the show has been rescheduled for July 24th.  Don't you worry your pretty little heads, I'll send out a reminder.

This Saturday, the 19th I'll be at the BAYarts "Artistic By Nature" Art Festival.  It's in Bay Village, across from Huntington Park (where there's Honey Hut ice cream!) from 10:00am -4:00pm.  The weather forecast is calling for 90 degree temps, so hopefully my items won't melt from the heat.  I might, though.

And yes, I'll send a reminder about this show as well.

6/3 - Photo Show

Hi, everyone!

Well, I guess I'm an official-like photographer now that I have a show of my own...nah, I'm still just me. 

But I do have a show of my own at Mojo's Coffee House at 600 Dover Center Rd. in Bay Village. 

My photos (said with snobbishness) will be at Mojo's throughout the month of June.  I tried to pick the pics that would appeal to everyone, so there's quite a variety,  So, would that make this a variety show?  I crack my own self up.

Anyway, hope you can stop in to take a peak at my pics.

Thanks for your continued support!

4/27 - FOCUS 2010

No, not the car...it's a juried photography competition.

I entered "Cropped Crops" and "Sunset Frets".  Neither won any cash prize, but both were picked out of 234 entries to move on with 38 other photos to the Beck Center for the Arts.

Photos will be on display at the Beck Center (17801 Detroit Ave., Lakewood, OH) May 4-23, with a Host Gallery Award Presentation/Reception on Sunday, May 23rd from 6:30pm - 7:30pm.

4/21 - A Buzzard Is Two Faced

This was taken last summer, but if you take the boat out of the picture (which I could have photo shopped out, but it's way easier for me to make you use your imagination) this was the scene in the back yard last night....wonder if it was the same buzzard.

And I'm quite sure the reason he was out there last night had absolutely nothing to do with the giant ham bone that I put out on the bluff.

4/15 - TAX DAY

With the Beatles' song "Tax Man" running through my head this morning, I'm thinking (okay dreaming) how nice it would be if the government that's there to help us would offer free postage on tax returns.  Told you I was dreaming.

So, I decided that my version of "I'm here to help" will be to actually help by offerring FREE shipping on all orders placed today and just like the P.O., you'll have until midnight.

Whatcha think?

4/7 - Note Card Notice

Hi ~

Just wanted to let you all know that if you'd like to see my note cards up close and personal and not have to wait for them to ship to you, they are at Mojo's Coffee House in Bay Village (600 Dover Center Rd, to be exact).  

I've had a display rack there for a couple of weeks and they haven't kicked me out yet, so that's a good sign.

To make your trip worthwhile, they have some really yummy treats (and of course coffee)...and they're computer friendly, so you could make a day of it and stay connected. 

3/15 - The Buzzards Return to Hinckley

Okay, seriously ~ how do they know?

The buzzards coming back to Hinckley reminds me of last summer after we enjoyed our most dee-lish steaks on the grill, I decided to throw the scraps on the bluff rather than putting them in the garbage can to hopefully prevent the varmints from shredding the bags and strewing the contents all over the drive and yard just to get to the table scraps.

The next morning I looked out the back window to see at least a half dozen buzzards circling above the back yard....and the steak scraps were completely gone.
