This our favorite weekend of the whole year. The Plaza Art Fair is here, which means most of our very favorite people from around the country gather in Kansas City to share their artwork. And lucky for us those very talented people choose to spend time at our house! (which means very little sleep but lots of inspiration)
Visit the google map here and click on the stars to see who is under our roof!
(Sorry the code has defeated me this morning or it would be interactive right here on my site, but we were up late solving the problems of the world and I have an art exhibit to put together! Better luck next time)

I can not tell you how much I love my hometown show! And what a fantabulous way to end my art fair season. If you are in the area I hope you will come by to celebrate with me!
ps: I promoted this image on my FaceBook page in an attempt to introduce more people to my artwork. I am curious – How do you learn about new artists? How did you learn about my work?

This is always the most grueling week of the year for us (but we thank our lucky stars that we get to do it!). You might have noticed in last week’s post that we had a show in Portland and then on its heels one in St Louis, and probably thought nothing about it.
But it is those three short days (23 hours in a day when traveling east) that have been lurking in our nightmares for the last few weeks. THREE short days to get over 2050 miles to the location where we will be setting up again tomorrow.

So St. Louis friends you should know, I take cream in my coffee, and feel free to wake me gently if you see me nodding off in my booth.

And today was no exception, as we turned Ferdinand (the van) towards Portland and passed all the RVs and cars laden with kayaks and bicycles heading out on their holiday adventures, the vacation portion of our trip was officially over and what passes for work begins. Which is to say, we’ve headed into Portland and are getting ready to set up a different kind of tent in a beautiful park where we’ll be over the holiday weekend.
