I have been getting some things done in my house and was about to head to The Barn (in the backyard) when a downpour started. So I jumped in here to look around. Now i am wondering what everyone is…Continue

Let me start by saying I never really know where to put these reviews because it is not an "art" show. So Connie, if you want to move it elsewhere, please do. I will fill you in on our experience but YMMV.
This past weekend dh and I went Brandon, MS, which is a suburb of Jackson, to attend Vintage Market Days of Mississippi. VMD is not for every artist or crafts person, which is true of any show. There is no show or event that fits everyone, including VMD. VMD is a…

I have been doing my craft, making travertine tile coasters, trivets and plaques for 3 years this month. I actually got into this coaster business somewhat accidentally. I had taken a…
ContinueHi Cynthia! We have been in Memphis visiting grandkids. You can see my jewelry at Laurindalee's Paper Bead Jewelry on Etsy or Facebook - Laurindalee's or my home page on facebook Linda Myer Miller Patrick. My son lives in Metairie and manages Rick's Sports Bar on Bourbon. To find those festivals just look under a search for festivals in Alabama. Look for Elberta Sausage Festival, Daphne Jubilee Festival, Strawberry Festival in Loxely Alabama. It just takes some time doing the legwork. Love your coasters!
