Thanks to everyone who for stopped by my booth. It was great seeing my many former customers and wonderful to meet new ones. The weather was barely cooperative but in the end we did mange to stay dry! I am delighted to be showing my work at the Lupine Festival, this coming Sat. (June 19) in Deer Isle, Maine. The 2010 Lupine Fest is the eighth annual celebration of Island springtime. In addition to local crafters, there will be garden tours, local foods supper, open studios, boat-plane-schooner trips, a quilt show, and kids' activities. What a beautiful way to spend a day!
