Festival of Lights

Linda's Sue's felt ornaments
The snow fairies held off long enough to have a very successful Festival of Lights. The art was amazing. And the artists were warm, welcoming and wonderful. We had a great time trading and buying — my house is full of new objects, all lovingly made by hand — including a sweet felt Santa made by Linda Sue.

I fell in love with this bunny.

Linda Sue's elves and imps and beautiful waifs

Luscious flowers (my camera doesn't do the red justice)
Elaine makes these delicate decorated bottles and boxes. Her husband has drilled holes in the backs of some of the bottles , which she has turned into nightlights.

the most beautiful, feminine boxes, nightlights and decorated bottles
Karin puts together these wonderful collages — part funk, part industrial, and part just plain wonder.

Collage pins and magnets -- fantastic
And Ed, holy moly, well the glass screams for itself.

And I forgot to mention, the whole atmosphere at Amy and David’s house is wonderful, with the girls and Atlas (one amazing dog) running around. And besides being a good sport, David makes a mean white bean chili.

The girls got Daddy to play dress-ups
