Everything Old is New Again.... Baton Rouge Arts Market

Sanding and Painting with Father and Daughter

Sanding & Painting Day with Dad

Redesigning our art show booth has been on my list for quite some time. The booth is our home away from home for most of the spring and fall and I was ready for a fresh new look.

Thankfully, you all keep me busy in the studio and my MVP (aka Dad) has been busy too. Finding time to conceive, design and build the new booth has been challenging. Luckily we've been able to steal a bit of time this summer to conquer some projects long in need of attention.

With that, I'm so excited to announce we'll be debuting the (almost) finished display at the Baton Rouge Arts Market this Saturday. We won’t have the walls up and not everything is complete but I’d love for you to come by and let us know what you think, what could make it better for you or what you’d like to see more or less of. (We'll have some new jewelry too :)

The art show season is right around the corner so I wanted you to know we will have a fresh new look thanks to our MVP (aka Dad), Mom's mad sewing skills & a little assist from one of our Children’s Jewelry Consultants!

For those of you not in the BR area, we hope to see you this fall as we take our new booth on the road! Click here to see when we'll be at a show near you.
