Riceville Holiday Market
 | | Holiday Postcard |
Come see me this Saturday at the Riceville Holiday Market. I'll have books, journals, cards... (including my Holiday postcard at right: designed to be mailed first, then cut and pasted into a little stand-up house, complete with evergreen tree).
I'll be in good company, too. You'll find lots of cool vendors there, so come on out, enjoy the day and finish up your holiday shopping!
Saturday, December 11 from 10 am - 4 pm at the Riceville Community Center, attached to the Fire Department at 2251 Riceville Road in Asheville. See map.

Giving

| | Chicks from Heifer |
Don't forget! You most likely have your own favorite causes. Here are a couple of mine: Manna Food Bank Heifer International
And as to giving at home, I don't have to tell you this, but I will: Balance is key. I'm a big fan of Vicki Robin and the late Joe Dominguez, who co-wrote the classic Your Money or Your Life. If you're prone to binge buying, this is a good time to read or re-read it. Because enough is enough. Check it out!

New Studio
 | | Mary's Studio |
Here it is, my dream studio! Light, airy, spacious and convenient. Oh, studio, I've been searching for you for a long time. How happy I am to have finally found you!
The getting moved in and re-organized part has taken longer than anticipated-- ah, well! And I am still working on dreaming up the heat... So when I say I need to have a "studio warming" party, I'm not kidding! But it feels great to be here!

Etsy

| | Stack O' Journals |
A couple of months ago, I invited you all to visit my new Etsy store, and I set myself the challenge of posting a new item every day for a month. If you have been checking up on me, you'll know that I did not meet that challenge. SIGH! But you know, try, try again...
Actually, I did add several nice items to the store before I was carried downriver by the exuberance of life. And now I'm back and ready to take a more active role in crafting my Etsy presence, so please pop in and see what it's all about.
