Some Pics of The Fair

Just sharing some pics of the Mt. Dora Arts and Crafts Fair. Actually these are pics of us setting up. It was so busy both days so many people there really unbelievable.
I have to say there wasnt alot of art there but mostly crafts. Some good some not for me but definitely something for everyone.

I Got Some New Banners

and I love them. I still need a few more but i did get the most important ones.
Jan at Big Brown Dog Primitives and Graphics www.bigbrowndogprimitives.com)is an amazing gal. She made this so easy. I just tell her what i'd like and she sends me her vision and she's spot on. I highly recommend her for any of your website graphic updates.

Here is an example of a banner she did for me. It's an original and of course all her special designs are and copyright protected and she keeps everyone's work different. I love it so much!

Bowersock Gallery Mount Dora is Open!

Actually its been open for a couple of weeks. I had shared some pics of Steve and Mike getting it all together and i'm happy to share some pics of them up and going.

If your heading to the Art and Craft Show in Mount Dora this month the 22nd and 23rd stop by and see the gallery also they will have a tent set up with art from the Bowersock artisans.

Autum Issue Prims Magazine TDIPT Feature

Prims magazine in my opinion has been very generous to TDIPT since the start. They have had several of the gals in this/my group featured in their magazine and have done so with much care. This autum issue has a wonderful article written by Patty Kelly Trevino (Dogpatch Primitives) and Karen Brady (Brady Bears) about the TDIPT group and its history and mission. Here are pics of the spread




















also i am very blessed to have my lil cowgirl Yipee in the gallery section of the magazine (she is shown as you scroll down my blog to see some of my favorite figures)

Pick up this magazine and see so many wonderful artists from all over the country. Its a really joyful issue.
