End Of Summer Madness

Today is one of those rare hot, sticky days.  We only get a couple of those in Maine and today is one.  The air is thick and you can almost swim through it.  But inside the gallery it is air conditioned  coolness!  Where did the summer go?  We are in the midst of closing our gallery, Magenta Magpie, for good.  What started off as a pop up shop continued for 3 years.  Our time here has been wonderful but it's time for new adventures.

I've been on an earring kick lately.  All of a sudden my display seemed a little empty.  So I dug thru some of my cabinet drawers and discovered a little bag of vintage glass cabochon pairs.  One of my most favorite things to work with is vintage glass.  It's so thrilling to discover a little treasure find of vintage glass.  Working with it and thinking how each piece was made 50-60 years ago and was just waiting to be made into something beautiful!  The last show I was at I noticed at the bottom of a clients check that she had written in the memo line "earrings-beautiful".  It made me smile!  I love what I do!
