See you soon!

New Family Table Collection

Everything starts at the family table. It's a place where we all gather, a place where we feel comfort and share stories with our family. I am very excited about my NEW Family Table collection with Certified International (http://www.certifiedinternational.com) An everyday dinnerware collection available Fall 2010.

The "Home is in the Kitchen" comfort mat is now available in Bed Bath and Beyond locations.

Inspired by the Farm!

The farm continues to inspire my work. The arrival of baby chicks, goats and now turkeys all make our property come alive! The gardens are really starting to explode with growth and color as we prepare for the Farmer's Market season to begin.

In addition the Log Home construction has begun. I promise to post pictures soon!

Happy Spring Everyone!

Wishing you all a Happy Spring and Happy Easter!

We are enjoying the warm weather today. Preparing the gardens and working around the farm.

We have 5 new baby goats and the chickens are laying eggs like crazy...I think they are getting ready for the Easter bunny's arrival! LOL

Happy St.Patrick's Day

March is here and that means spring is on it's way! The farm will start to come alive with new flowers and vegetables from the garden. I can't wait! Planning will begin for the Farmer's Market and the opening of our Barn shop on the weekends.

The studio is very busy. I'm having a ton of fun designing new artwork and pieces for our handmade line.

Tomorrow, Jamey and I will welcome several of our wonderful artist friends to the farm. I know

we're going to have a blast!
