Success! Thanks to you.

"Merry Christmas" and help yourself to some hot and chocolatey cocoa!

This past weekend I held my first ever Holiday Open Studio and thanks to many supportive friends, family and collectors I had a very successful weekend and plan on making this an annual event.  

I am truly blessed and very thankful for all who came out to shop and say "hello." Here are some photos from the weekend.  Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to photograph any shoppers as I was too busy  . . . but that's a good thing!

Come on in.  It may be a little nippy outside
but it's nice and cozy in the studio.

What?  Little People original paintings are on sale?
Better check out my DPW site, Christmas is coming, ya' know.

Coloring books, original paintings, calendars, cards and belt buckles.

The original paintings and their notecards.

OK . . . so business first and the "prints" part of my post: I just received these beautiful, high resolution giclee reproductions from Giclee of New England, of my painting "Barn Window." They are printed on sturdy watercolor paper and look almost like originals. I am selling them for $20 + $4 shipping. If you are interested in purchasing one, please feel free to email me at kkoz517@charter.net.

Now onto the "garden" part of my post.  I worked feverishly (literally -- it was like 90 degrees out! Ha!) on my gardens, Friday. For three years I've wanted some raised beds up on my hill for a few vegetables but have never followed through. Well I've been out messing in the yard this Spring and finally got my act together only to discover about 20 minutes later, Delilah, enjoying herself on Bed #1! So much for thinking that I didn't need a fence. You should see my yard -- it's a maze of silly little fences because of my two unruly, furry children. But how do you get mad at that precious face?!

Delilah -- mistaking the "raised bed" for "doggy bed"
Doesn't she look like a lion!?  :)

Thanks for stopping by -- enjoy your day!
