I am excited to be showing a the American Craft Council show in Baltimore this this month. As I get older it become more difficult to make friends but last year at the Philadelphia Museum Craft Show I had the pleasure to meet many wonderful artist one that I am happy to call a friend is Eric Silva. I hope to meet many more artists and customers in Baltimore. Come visit us at Booth #916 to see my Wood Art Jewelry.

I have said many times that I don't want life to live me, I want to live life. Last month I displayed my Wooden Art Jewelry at the The Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show which is a premier show and sale of contemporary craft. I would like to say that life was on full display and for sale in the wonderful work. I was enthralled with the art lovers of Philadelphia and constantly reminded that the life I live is my creation. Thank you to the wonderful museum's Women's Committee and Craft Show Committee.

I will be departing for the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show this morning. I will be carrying a book that my father owned in 1975. I was just 7 years old when he owned this book. You ask what is the deal with this book well, my mother gave it to me yesterday as I was saying goodbye to her and my oldest son. The book is about jewelry making and the Art of jewelry. I was 7 years old when my father owned this book and 11 years old when he past away. I do recall many things about him, but seeing this book allowed me to reflect on the journey he was on. Likewise the journey I travel. I can not help but think that he would have been proud of me.
