Found some barnwood glass, that I use to make jellyfish with that is no longer in production, and found enough to make about 18 or so. YAY!!!! Dos Manos will be happy with that.

Forgot to post the gnomes, but the panels I just finished up. Time to clean, then polish and box up tomorrow. Looking at a Thursday shipping to Dos Manos in Anchorage, AK.

We are so psyched to have Honor Flight Rochester back as our 2026 Charity of Choice. They will be welcoming you all at the front entrance and collecting your $10 in cash. Remember- there is NO ATM outside of the festival.

In 2025, Honor Flight Rochester flew a total of 357 veterans to Washington, D.C., for what we refer to as a trip pf a lifetime. They spent about 36 fast and furious hours visiting monumenmts and memorials and sharing memories and personal stories. This is an incredible experience, and for some, a healing experience. Honor Flight Rochester is a nonprofit organization dependent on the generous donations of people like you that financed the six missions in 2025. Thank you to all of the volunteers of HFR!

💟 350 artists, makers, 100+ volunteers, 25+ food trucks, 4 bands ....TWO DAYS OF CRAZY FUN!

Saturday, 9/19 from 9am-5pm
Sunday, 9/20 from 10am-4pm

And The Purple Painted Lady’s retail store at 2620 State Rt 31 Palmyra NY 14522 will be open on Saturday from 6 AM till 6 PM in our coffee shop will be up and running the whole time.

Working on Forget Me Not Gnomes. Trying to get a little bit of everything done and shipped off by the end of the month, before I head to Alaska for almost 2 weeks.

Hello everyone. I’m going to ask you a question. Since you know I do The Purple Painted Lady Festival in September, I was wondering how many of you would like to put up a yard sign at your place or work, and help me advertise for them and myself. This would be around Clifton Springs, Canandaigua and surrounding areas.
Let me know if you are interested and and can get you a sign. Thank you.

This has been a task today. Finally done soldering. Tomorrow after work, I’ll clean, polish, tag and box it up for a Tuesday shipping to Dos Manos.

Made these in February, but couldn’t post it. This wouldn’t allow me to make a new album. Now it did.

It’s been awhile since I’ve made these, but NOW I remember why fireweed were my least favorite to make. 🤣🤣🤣
