it really was...

It really was the "heART of winter"...I am finding it a challenge to encapsulate such a fabulous weekend...the building palpated joy, with art all around. I actually felt like I was within one great collage of colors and texture and talent galore.

And the event was a resounding success...so many enthusiasts and collectors attended...thanks to all of you who made the trip (CA, DE, OH, WV, PA, VA, CT, VT, MA, NJ and more). I know you'll agree; the artists did an amazing job, the space was fab and it's now many happy memories.

Here are some of my fave images...

Nicky Bowen and her colorful felt wonders...


Nicol Sayre and her exquisite dolls...

her heart's in it

Valerie Weberpal puts her heart in all she does...she's a wonderful Mom, a dedicated runner, a sweets aficionado, and an ever inspiring artist!

Her latest batch of goodies offer sweet eye candy for the heartful season at hand! They cheered me immeasurably when I opened the box that arrived from her studio...






Valerie has done a wonderful job using recycled and new textiles to create these one of a kind, pillow-like soft dollies. While she usually creates bunnies, cats and a bevy of other beasties, these heart-headed cuties have won me over.

Thanks Valerie!

Issue #2 - WWC!

It's here! Issue #2 of the new quarterly magazine "Where Women Create" has arrived...and just in time...I have read and re-read my now love-worn copy of the premier issue #1 -- pouring over every photo and detail and treasuring the inspiring stories of the creative women and their spaces that were featured.

And the truly great news, I think this issue is even better. It's tighter as a publication with oodles of juicy photos, captivating spaces and more inspiring, creative women.



Thanks to Jo Packham for the special opportunity to work with her on a few of the pieces included in issue #2...a story on our own Earth Angel --Deirdre Friebely and her Blackbird Design Studio, a new feature called "Artful Adventures" and a festive and funky event hosted by Victoria McKenzie-Childs (do you BLOG readers recall the posts on her WWC photo shoot and her Ferry Boat Ball)

Earth Angels has 50 copies in stock, you can call or email to order, or look for it at your Barnes & Noble, Lowes or Borders - they are stocking limited copies. Please consider a subscription at www.Stampington.com . Each issue is 144 full color pages and $14.95 + ship (but it's truly priceless, especially as other magazines fold, like the beloved HOME Companion...it's a great relief to have this on the scene.

Hope you love it as much as I do....and congrats again Jo!

Sweet News

Debbee Thibault has done it again!

How she continues to amaze me with her designs is a joy made only sweeter by our friendship.



Debbee has just announced her newest pieces for winter 2009...and we've included a group image here of her classic papier mache figures.

And wow! Her jewelry is utterly captivating and I am thrilled that these new pieces expand on the 3 charm sets -- as necklaces -- that she created exclusively for Earth Angels in 2008...this is the start of something great.

We will be e-mailing full details to those of you on our mailing list who collect and admire Debbee's work. Watch your in-box for full details....


To show her newest works, Debbee will visit us here in Warwick, NY next week as a featured artist at our 2nd annual "heART of winter" event...she will then attend another Earth Angels event in Costa Mesa, California on March 21st hosted at the renown locale "Paris to the Moon" -- details to follow.

Congrats to Debbee on another season of beautiful art -- some of it wearable! -- I cannot wait to see you and these new pieces next week!

#16 - we'll be here

So many of you have asked for a look at the location for the 2nd Annual "heART of winter"...YES, we have moved this year to "The McEwen Street Studio"...just steps off Main Street in historic downtown Warwick...at #16 McEwen Street.





It's a charming space...3 stories with an open floor plan. This house from the 1840s was renovated by Mayor Michael Newhard and his wife Judy Pederesen, both artists. After using it as studio space themselves, they have converted it into a gallery space with rotating shows...Our "heART of winter" event will be the second art show the space has hosted in 2009...with more are to come.

Jill and Lisa took a quick tour with Michael one snowy day last week. They loved it...

...Hope you can join us to see the space on 1/31 and 2/1 when it will be filled with the fabulous creations of the participating artists!

PS For those of you who attended last year, we will not be at "The Country Life" but just across the street and, just arund the corner from Akin's Pharmacy...
