Print 11 x 14 $79 plus shipping and tax if in Ohio




If you would like to see the original of the print above, we have it in our gallery in Tower City.
As you know the art show season has begun in earnest. This weekend, I spent Saturday at Port Clinton, Ohio doing a small show put on by the Chamber of Commerce. First of all, I enjoyed the day immensely, because the weather was absolutely gorgeous, and I was lucky enough to be there next to two other vendors that were good friends.
If you haven't been to Port Clinton, it is a very nice place for a weekend away. It is a small town with a very quaint downtown area, and you pick up the ferry there to go to Put-In-Bay. There are lots of other attractions in the area including several wineries.
Besides working on my tan, I also had a profitable day at the show, and talked to lots of customers and other artists. My friends and I had dinner at Big Boy, and drove home.
This week, I am taking my daughter, Tamar, and driving to Baltimore to the Great Grapes Festival in Cockeysville. This is a two day show, and I will be primarily selling my own work. Although I will take a few wine related items with me as well. Wine not?
I will be spening a lot of time this week before we leave getting all of my jewelry together. While Tamar and I will be doing that show, my husband Jack and daughter Tamar, along with Kim Monaco will be representing Lake Erie Artists Gallery at the first ever Jewish and Cultural Festival at the Jewish Community Center on South Woodland Road (Sunday from 11 to 4).
At the same time, the gallery has been busy, too! I had the pleasure of meeting a young man who wanted to buy jewelry for his girlfriend in Mexico this week. He came in on Saturday and spent over $100 on her.
Things to look for in the coming weeks: continued changes in the website www.lakeerieartists.com , vast reduction in our etsy presence, increased presence on other websites including squidoo.com (codename: lakeerieartists), lots more shows--check our homepage for more dates, and new artists coming into the gallery. Never a dull moment around here! And I am going to leave you with a link to my wonderful biscotti recipe www.squidoo.com/yummybiscotti . Enjoy the sun!
