Dear Rochester Friends,

I will be coming to visit you again every other week this summer! I found out this week I was accepted to Thursdays on First & 3rd - such a fun weekly event. I will be in a new location (yes I know always a new spot, but will be in the same spot every week! at least I think so...). My booth # is G6 - the very north end of 1st Avenue by Peace Plaza.

Here is my schedule: 
June 16 & 30
July 14 & 28
August 11 & 25

a little bit of this, a little bit of that

So everyone knows I couldn't be happier than when we get to spend time with our family. And we have gotten to do a lot of that the past couple of weeks! We got to spend a weekend in Wausau for an auction/ benefit that Great Grandpa Harvey donated his carvings to - this humble man is so talented & generous with his talents. We are now proud owners of a few pieces of his work!


Jack & Julia were reunited - after 9 long months apart (way too long)!

the boys bonded...

the ladies hung out...


and the kids got to swim!

Last weekend my parents came up to help us out while I had my first show of the year!

Here they are reading 'National Hog Farmer' with Jack... he is very interested in where pigs live and what they eat. Today I was informed that, "pigs like soup and green beans" - weird but whatever. Uncle Brett was here too, but he was either sleeping or tearing up the town when I was home, so didn't get to see much of him :( so no pictures! sorry Uncle Brett. 

And this week we have had a couple of beautiful spring days... so we have played A LOT!

this would be a standard Lauren face...  she needs a shirt that says 'little miss attitude'



and we have done a lot of this - sitting on the front step - I'm not exactly sure why the kids love sitting here so much, but they do - so we sit and watch birds and people as they go by.... and yes poor maddie has to watch from inside (because she has been naughty, naughty, naughty the past 2 weeks)

More Graphic Fun!

I've been having so much fun messing around with different fonts lately, here are a few new pieces - $30. 8"x10" frame, the glass is painted, then layered with a handmade damask paper, foam core mounted print on pearlescent cardstock, embellished with a handmade flower & vintage button - ooh so cute!
