16 May FINAL Weekend to See Amazing Art at WEST!
What an incredible first weekend we had at my first WEST Austin Studio Tour put on by the non-profit Big Medium. It's been a lot of preparation but so worth it as we had tons of people walking through my home studio to see all FIVE artists:

Cozy fire and hot toddies await you this Saturday at my EXTENDED Holiday Open Studio & Sample Sale, 12 - 7 p.m. I know....I know...you Northerners are looking at us as woosies, but anything below 60 and I've got a scarf on...seriously!!

I confess. I have A LOT of stuff!!! (But I am not a hoarder, so don't judge) :-)
