What is a “boutique” anyway? It isn’t a bazaar. Is it like “luncheon” as opposed to “lunch”? The dictionary uses the words “sophisticated” and “specialized” to explain a boutique. (Nope, didn’t look up bazaar – I saved that for you.) Sophisticated? Me? har har har har har. . . I’m from Tulare County, a Realistic […]
Redbud Festival 2014 in Photos
Redbud Festival in Three Rivers was on a new weekend and in a new location. It was walking distance from home for me! Bye-bye, studio, I have to work somewhere else today. Does your commute look like this? It is WONDERFUL to walk to work. Most exhibitors parked at the Presbyterian Church. Me? I took […]
Redbud Festival Returns
I wanted to say “Redbud Returns” for alliteration, but didn’t want to confuse you any more than already. What? You confused? Maybe not you specifically. The general population has confusion about the Redbud Festival in Three Rivers. Let’s tackle this as a FAQ session. 1. Will the redbud be in bloom? Nope. It blooms in […]

My Amazing Friends, Chapter Five
Back when I had a list of 80 people waiting to get into my drawing lessons (dang, what happened??), I met Nikki Crain. She eventually became one of my drawing students, and we became friends. Not only does she draw very well, she is a master weaver. We have done many shows over many years […]

First Saturday Three Rivers for December is coming quickly – December 1, to be exact. My studio will be open. Go to Anne Lang’s Emporium for a map. Come see me between 11 and 5. It might be raining. I have a roof and a little heater. It will be fine! You can ask me […]
Sawtooth on a Cupboard Door?
Usually at a garage sale I am overtaken by the desire to go home, fill a box with stuff, and bring it back, sneak it onto a table, and tiptoe away. Stuff stresses me out. Too much stuff makes me twitch, mumble to myself, and randomly toss objects into the trash or a give-away barrel. […]
First Saturday November is Over
But First Saturday Three Rivers December is coming. This is how my drawing table looked. I was working on a Wilsonia cabin. This is the painting studio/gym/storage area/Trail Guy’s workshop. Please be impressed by my red chrysanthemums – I think the leaky hose in their barrel is the cause of their gloriousness. But wait! Notice […]
