Barb's Weblog

Gosh has it really been a month since I blogged?

Time has really flown by! I am so caught up in making the new pieces for The Northwest Flower and Garden Show that very little has gotten thru to me! Watching out for Mom of course, and taking Boots on his daily walks (except for the icy and horribly windy days) feeding us and the parrot and Boot...the usual chores. But mainly I have been stockpiling the prettiest things ever! There will be the usual array of Bud Pins in Ivy, Ivy and Oak, Ginkgo, Aspen and my Barbish viney and branchy styles as well as a lot of new earring styles. A whole new line of pendants, bigger and heavier than before, set with big freshwater button pearls and carved flourites. There are new pearl rings in both the vine and the seaweed styles, and all sorts of wonderful seaweed bangle bracelets! They are so beautiful! Can't wait for you all to see. And last years silk ribbon? I have an updated necklace with silk and sterling ends wth an extention chain for those of you who don't want to tie a big pretty bow!

It was so good of you all to turn out for the Best of the Northwest's fall show and help to make it such a success!

It was such an amazing display of art and fine crafts that I was dazzled by it all. It will be one of the very few shows you will be able to find me and Shadowfax at this year. I am not going to do the host of street fairs all over Seattle, just the ones that I really enjoy. So far I have only booked 5 shows besides the Flower Show which begins on February 9th and runs thru the 13th. This is your chance to find the perfect Valentines Day treasure, be it plant or jewelry! This is always my favorite show of the year, and Lowie and I can hardly wait to get there and see the gardens and all our friends from Sunset Magazine, who will be our neighbors again this year. You can find us in booth 118 right near the south lobby entrance, so be sure and stop in if you make it tothe show. You can go to www.gardenshow.com for more information, and for images of past shows.

Here is a new one to see! Ocean Jasper Butterfly, 129.00


keep warm and cozy!
