Every summer, I find myself staring at peonies like they’re performing some kind of botanical magic trick. I mean, how does one tight little bud turn into this gigantic poof of petals that looks like it's on its way to a red carpet event? It's like nature said, “Let’s cram 300 ruffles into a space the size of a ping-pong ball and just see what happens.” These drama queens don't bloom—they debut. Bring some flowers into your space...studies have shown, they reduce stress, anxiety & improve overall well-being. Have a great week!

Isn’t it amazing how a little beauty—whether in your home, your wardrobe, or that one item you just had to have—can lift your spirit? (Yes, art therapy is totally a thing.) Surrounding yourself with things you love really does restore the soul. Speaking of soul-restoring, I can’t wait to get back into the studio! Doug is making great progress after his knee surgery (yay, Doug!), and we’ll soon be getting back to our “normal”: making, making, making. It’s what we love, and thanks to all of you, we get to keep doing it. Your support means the world to us.

When life throws you a curveball, sometimes you just have to stop...drop...and roll with it—especially when it’s a brand new knee! My sweet husband Doug is now part bionic after having knee replacement surgery last week, so we’re taking a short break from our spring/summer shows while he heals up. Aiming to be back in action by mid-July. In the meantime, our online store is open, stocked, and ready to sprinkle a little joy your way. Thanks so much for your continued support—it means the world to us. We hope you find something that lifts your spirit!

It's that time of year in Minnesota...the Apple Blossoms are in full bloom. They are so fleeting, one good wind and poof! Gotta be in the moment with these beauties. Enjoy the blooms wherever you are today!

A little peek BTS: yes, that’s me—hand-painting bronze charms like a patient squirrel with a paintbrush. I've been making jewelry for 32 years and I’ve loved every twist, turn, and sparkle of the journey. But, after tangoing with frozen shoulder in both arms (10/10 do not recommend), I’ve had to slow things down a bit. I’m gently phasing out this part of my work. I’ll still pop in a piece now and then, but felted wool art has stolen my heart and is easier on the joints. So, enjoy what’s here—and this week, they’re on SALE, so it's basically fate! ~Marcia

Welcome to my woolly wonderland! A few years ago, I discovered felted wool, and it was like finding a cozy little portal to a softer, sillier universe. Now I spend my days crafting tiny gardens that never need watering & nature scenes where the sheep stay fluffy, never wander off and always face the camera. Turns out, making forest-y fluff is my happy place. So I’ll keep calling it “work” and pretending it’s very serious. Thanks for letting my wooly whimsy into your world. If it made you smile...mission accomplished. Have a delightful week!

I'm excited to share with all of you that I'm now on a new platform called Lyric. It's a great community of artists from around the country and all so talented. Check them out and give them some love by supporting their work as well. I appreciate you!!
