Meeting an amazing artist!!!

Thank you Shelley for letting me know about your EXTREMELY talented Mother, Debra! I walked into her studio and started to laugh because I've known her for years! There are few people that can do such a variety of craft and to be so concious of the environment. I'm so proud to be able to represent Debra at the Live Green Expo in Duluth next weekend. (How fast it's coming...) Check out her website at http://www.finnishethniccreations.com/.

EXPANDING...

I am so excited about the new development of The Creative Shop. I met a fantastic artist/potter named Milo who knows anyone within a 60 mile radius that is involved in the art world. He and his wife are very motivating and enthusiastic of my shop and the building. Check out their blogs @

On September 1st they will be moving their pottery supplies into the building to start creating! They will be bringing such great energy into the space that I'm inspired. There will be other artists coming in as well to utilize the space that is available. I feel that my dreams are starting to materialize.

Getting ready for the LIVE GREEN EXPO in Duluth!

What an exiting little adventure I'm on right now! My wonderful friend Tara mentioned the Live Green Expo in Duluth and I was of course I'll go. Then after lunch she saw a flier and mentioned to reserve your booth today. I went home checked out the website saw that money had to be paid by July 19th for your booth. I called anyway. Spoke with a wonderful chap by the name of Marty he assisted me to choose the best booth still available. My booth is #240 three booths in and right between the two entrances!!! I'm so inspired to be participating in something I have an enormous amount of passion for. Plus The Creative Shop is going to be exposed to more than ten thousand people all looking for a GREENER way of life. Which is what my shop is all about! A destination where you can purchase items that have been given a new life to creations made from the hands of local artists. Anyone who can make it should check out the expo. It's being held at the DECC on September 6th and 7th. The website is www.livegreenduluth.com.
