Whew!! After a very busy, bustling and successful holiday season I have settled down a bit in the studio to finish up commissions that rolled into the new year (all those January weddings!), begin my planning for 2012, start show preparations and create new work that has been on my mind for quite a while now. A pretty exciting start to the year so far, if I must say so! I even rearranged my bench and office areas in the studio for a fresh new look - and it feels really good to come in to a renewed creative space in the mornings! I hope everyone has had a great start to their new year so far and I thank you for checking in. I want to take a quick moment here also to share with you a few highlights from 2011 that I haven't shown you yet. I hope you like them!!

I am so excited for the buzz in the studio right now! I have just finished my November show - the Artisans Studio Tour (a success!) - and now I am preparing new work for the One of a Kind Show and Sale in Chicago Decmber 1-4, followed up with the Holiday Craftacular here in Charlottesville December 10-11. And all the while I am also busy creating custom pieces for my awesome clients - engagement rings, wedding bands and, of course, those Holidays gifts! Now, my schedule is filling up fast, so December 6th will be the last day I can take custom orders for the Holidays. Of course, after that I will still have inventory items for sale and can ship out by December 21st for Delivery by the 23rd. Not all of my items are on my website, however, so if you are looking for something in particular let me know and I will happily help you pick the perfect item!
Remember, be sure to contact me before December 6th if you want to get on the list for a custom item to give as a special gift!
Thank you!!
Happy Holidays Everyone!
