Over the years I have found a variety of beautiful antique and vintage Sterling spoons and forks. My favorite are the highly detailed floral designs from the Art Nouveau era. I enjoy repurposing them into jewelry pieces, creating several keepsake pieces from loved one’s silverware.
Because I often only use the handle, I am left with the bowl of the spoon or the tines of the fork. Many these are just as ornate as their handles. It would be a shame to let them go to waste…
Each Saturday in September there will be special plant sales, local artisans, vendors, & not-for-profit organizations as well as a food truck!
I will be one of the local artists on September 10 at Lockwood’s Garden Center in Hamburg from 9 to 4.

I have never in my years as an artist double-booked myself at shows.
Saturday, April 2, presented me with 2 opportunities to sell my work. Since both are fundraisers, I wanted to support both schools.
My wonderful daughter & her daughter stepped in to lend a hand! They will be “woman-ing” my table at one show while I work the other!
Cleveland Hill High School, 105 Maple Road, Cheektowaga, NY 9-1
Sweet Home High School, 1901 Sweet Home Road, Amherst, NY 9-3
The weather prediction is sunny and mid 40’s- a good day to support local high school fundraisers! Thank You!
I will be among the many local artists and vendors helping Pets Alive WNY (7007 Campbell Blvd. in Pendleton) celebrate their anniversary on Sunday, July 26 11-3!

Under normal circumstances I would be preparing for The Buffalo-Style Garden Art Show held at the Buffalo & Erie county Botanical Gardens.
Here are a few items I created with them in mind…
Although this and many other wonderful summer shows are cancelled this year, I hope to be exhibiting my work later this year. In the meantime, be well and enjoy the summer!
