Copper can be astonishingly beautiful and wildly interesting.

It's the human at play, envisioning the end result. (One can hope)

It's an honor to experience someone who sees a piece I've made and responds with as much appreciation as I feel when I finish it. ❤️🔥

Next month will mark 5 years since I purchased the Fiddlehead cannery.
GRATEFUL doesn't encompass the feelings 🥰🥳🎊🌞

I had a VISION!
I put in loads of time, lots of hard work, and hired carpenters who could execute my vision.
And let's not overliok a fabulous community of people who attend and co-create with me that have helped make this grow into what it is today.

And I'm still envisioning more!

I hope you realize -YOUR DIRECT SUPPORT at the store, and Belle is what BUILT THIS.

I'm proud of this endeavor-you BET!

On a whim, I moved to Maine, trusting the process.
Then...I opened a store, and trusted the process.
Then... I moved the store-TWICE-the second time moving to Wilton
And I trusted the process.

Each time, trusting the little voice that said "keep going " and knowing. Just knowing.

This doesn't happen overnight. It's often 2 steps forward, 3 steps back.

What I've probably never told people is that I've had this vision for over 25 years. Pinch me!! It's happening!! #maineartgallery

When I look back- I CAN HARDLY BELEIVE IT!!
YAY!!!!!

I listened to 'Dead Can Dance' for several years when i was younger, and I saw them in concert once. What an experience!
I'm revisiting my favorite bands and playlists - I gotta say - it's time traveling, woah!! Memories of days gone by, people, places, events.
Raise your hand if you remember them or ever listened??
Post your favorite album or song, I'd love to know.

I went to see the new Dylan movie, and that really knocked on memories door!! What an incredible story, and the acting was PHENOMENAL!
Without giving too much away-what was your favorite part of the movie?

If any of the pique your interest, pm me. I dont seem to get everything online or on my website. 😬😏😊

Did I throw hawks? No. Today I threw snow.
Lots of snow, as many of you probably did.

Waking up to fresh snow, that first breathtaking moment where you are just spellbound by the quiet.

I remember when I was a kid, the excitement of a day of sledding and snowman building! We'd pile on layers and off we go, finding the next adventure!

In my heart I'm that little kid again. Wistful and full of life. I want the neighborhood crew to meet up and ramble about. Ducking into each other's homes for quick moments to warm up, then off we go again.

Or my dad loading us into the car, headed to a friend's farm with rolling hills, horse drawn carriages, hot cocoa and games.

Now my big excitement is sticking out my tongue hoping to catch snowflakes!! 🤣❄️😋 Shoveling my car out, getting a snowshoe in.
Calling a friend to come plow me out because I'm buried, and the store is too!! Thank goodness for friends who will show up like that! 😉

What's your favorite memory?
