This week, Dandelions gift shop in Barre received some fun additions to their inventory from Little House, including this decorative birdhouse, just in time for Mother’s Day! Check out this cute shop if you’re in the neighborhood. Lot’s of wonderful gift ideas!
Yes, the holidays are just around the corner! I’ve spent the last few weeks sewing mittens, making ornaments and preparing several small paintings for two of my favorite places – Petersham Art Center and Dandelions Gift Shop in Barre. Remember to shop local this holiday season!
Little House Art Studio had a booth at the WorcShop maker space open house this spring, receiving lots of nice compliments on the work and the display! This fall, we may be taking it on the road again during the weekend of the Backroads Studio Tours in North Central Mass. Stay tuned!
A couple of weeks ago, Little House hosted a small group of artists to paint birdhouses. It was a fun afternoon of creativity and lots of laughs! We think the birds will be very pleased with their new homes : )
New paintings created for Dandelions in Barre. Lin, the wonderful shop owner, requested some small paintings to round out the selection I had previously dropped off. These cute paintings are now on display at 531 Summer Street in Barre. If you’re up for a drive, stop by – you’ll love this shop!
I recently came across a sweet new gift shop in Barre. After a wonderful visit with the shop owner, several of my pieces are now on consignment there! If you’re in the area, take a drive to Dandelions on Summer Street. It’s filled with beautiful creations by local artists—jewelry, pottery and ceramics, home décor items, natural skincare and home care products, teas and spices, books, calendars, greeting and note cards—all reasonably priced! I feel so lucky to have my work displayed there! Check out their website: www.dandelionsonline.com
An unexpected day off meant I could spend the ENTIRE day in the studio! It was a very productive day, finishing several paintings that have been partially completed for quite some time. SO MUCH FUN! Check out the scrolling gallery for new additions, with more to come soon.
We recently held a special workshop to celebrate Samantha’s milestone birthday. A gathering of girlfriends to create a colorful piece of art for Sam’s apartment was the perfect way to mark the occasion. Each guest received a 5″ canvas and was asked to cover it with paint and whatever other materials they wanted to work with – the only specific request was that they use a heart shape as the focal point of their piece. We then mounted the canvases on an old piece of barn board and *PRESTO*! It was a fun day that no one will soon forget!
Drop by the Sawmill River Arts Gallery at the Montague Mill between February 7 and March 1 to see the 6 x 6 Community Art Exhibit, including three pieces from Little House Art Studio. The mixed media creations, “Cavalier”, “Boston Terrier”, and “Basset” will be on display along with many other pieces by area artists. For more info, go to sawmillriverarts.com
I am very pleased to report that several of my pieces are on display at the fabulous Petersham Art Center. Mittens, paintings, calendars and two types of notecards from Little House Art Studio are available for purchase – just in time for the holidays! Take a ride to Petersham – it’s a lovely way to spend an afternoon in New England. And don’t forget to stop at the Country Store on the common for a fantastic lunch!
