Red, White & Blue

The most emotional set of colors in the English language – “Red, White & Blue”.  You hear the words and you FEEL patriotic. 

Hear the words spoken in the wrong order, and you think “that’s not right”.

See them together and you think “America”.  Not many things induce a reaction so strong from so many.  In celebration and recognition of the upcoming Independence Day, I am going to blog those colors!  Today Red, tomorrow white, Monday blue. Finally on Tuesday – things that are all three.

Enjoy! And thanks to Rebecca Sower for sharing the mosaic photo collage creator!  What FUN!

Kids Store Downtown?

I was at a meeting last month, and someone was saying that they had heard it said that they wish there was more items for kids birthday presents, gifts, accessories at the downtown shops…..well, I think  ARTifacts alone has a ton, then you expand your view to Hodgepodge & Ingredients and there are even more! And as what fun things you can take them to do – don’t forget that the Roxy is about to open their production of "BIG RIVER" - you don't want to miss that!

Hodgepodge carries Robeez (soft soled shoes for babies and toddlers), baby quilts, sock monkey collectibles, darling hand made dresses from vintage pillowcases and these monogrammable chenille baby blankets.

Bob "the Builder" - Featured Vendor

Bob "the Builder" Williams designs and builds just about anything you may need! Currently his booth has all kinds of benches, side & end tables. I sold a bench to a lady the other day that was so excited about putting it next to her potting shed so people can visit with her while she is potting plants and working in her garden.

Bob also has a couple pieces that are old headboards and other old salvaged pieces that he re-purposes and make into a new piece just for you.
He also will do custom pieces.
The photo shows one of his benches - most of which have a slot cut out on the top for easy picking up and moving it around. Of course, we have to talk about the beautiful headboard bench that is painted white. This particular piece would look great in a long hallway or at the base of a queen size bed. I love it.


Bob's daughter, Jillian, also features her photographs in this booth. Jill uses images -mostly from Venice - and manipulates them creating truly intriguing images - they are just beautiful. Jill also does an amazing job framing her pieces - many have very unusual mats and frames that really highlight the art inside the frames.
Come see what pieces Bob & Jillian have in their booth right now.
