Definitely Spring!

We're at the very edge of Spring. Maybe there's even a little 'Spring fever' in the air! As I write, I'm at home, having left the shop early, since the only one to darken the door was the mailman! The"guys"suggested that they could watch our folkart shop, so I decided there were lots of things I could do at home today..... this, being one of them!

I've been enjoying doing some small paintings, and am waiting for my banner to be finished, so I can set up that website. It will be called < m wedge m paintings >. I hope to get it started in the next few weeks. It's the "Wedge" genes in me that make me want to paint, so I wanted to honor that. Those genes have been especially obvious in the generation of my children and neices and nephews, and on down to their children: Graphic artists, painters, movie makers, architects, fabric artists, carvers, potters, writers ......... ad infinitum!

It's been almost a month since I've touched base here, but wanted to let you know the driftwood folkart site is always being up-dated, and since joining facebook, a whole new world has opened up with fun and interesting connections. I've signed up on twitter, too, but haven't spent enough time on it to know how to navigate.

Hope to be in touch soon, as we welcome Spring's new life!

Thinking Spring!

March has started!! And Spring officially arrives this month! Guess we all know that, but it's good to be reminded.

The shop was a busy fun spot yesterday. The sun brought folks out and groups of us thought it would have been fun, through the years to have set up a corner for socializing. That gets done, even tho' we're not really set up for it. Good things happen!

The shop,"Folkart", by the way, is located at 333 Fifth Street, in Valley Junction (West Des Moines) Iowa, 50265. I know lots of people pass through this area to spots north and south...... even east and west. So if you're anywhere near, come and check us out. We've been at the same spot (across from the 'pink house') for almost 28 years. The shop, gratefully, has brought many new friends into our lives.
A young couple came in the shop recently, and after they'd been there looking around awhile, her parents came in after their 3 hour drive. They made Folkart their meeting place! It's close enough to the interstate to be a good spot to meet.
If you're not going out, and are spending some time at the computer, check the website noted at the side. I'll soon be adding pieces to make it look "Springier".

Till later,
Marge
