The 44th Scituate Art Festival

I grew up in Rhode Island and for as long as I can remember Columbus Day weekend was all about the Scituate Art Festival. People from all over come for the handmade crafts, sausage and pepper sandwiches and oh those dough boys.

I'm sad to say this will be my last year selling at the Scituate Art Festival. I have a friend Lisa that lives just before the entrance and I have always been fortunate enough to set up a table in her yard to sell my jewelry. Well Lisa and her family are selling their house (I wonder if I could have grandfather rights) LOL.

The Scituate Art Festival takes place every year during the Columbus Day long weekend - Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. - in Scituate, Rhode Island.

Scituate is a picturesque New England village nestled in the northwest corner of Rhode Island. Visitors stroll the beautiful Village Green, taking in some of the most unique varieties of art, craft, sculpture and antiques. Autumn provides the backdrop for this wonderful festival, bestowing crisp air and colorful foliage to energize the body and the spirit.

This annual event began in 1967 as a means of supporting the effort to restore the 1830 era former Congregational Church in the village of Scituate. Starting with just twelve local exhibitors that first year, this well-established and much-anticipated event now draws close to three hundred exhibitors from all over the United States and Canada. Proceeds from the festival are distributed to a variety of good causes within the town, including continued upkeep of the venerable old church

Experience the Scituate Art Festival just once and you'll be sure to return year after year, and I hope you have a chance to stop by and say hi to me!

For All You Gemstone & Soap Lovers!!

OK I love Gemstones but who would have thought ................. These soaps look just like actual Gemstones.

Having been crafting most of her life, it was a perfect fit when a close friend introduced her to her first Gemstone Soaps. What a joy to play with colors and shapes and create something so natural looking or completely whimsical!

Crystal Quartz Soap

Sapphire Soap is hypnotized by gemstone colors and shapes. That the earth gives us such amazing eye-popping stones to wear and gaze at is nothing short of a miracle.

She wants to share these little treasures with everyone! People sometimes tell her they don't want to use them because they are so pretty.

Sapphire in the Rough Soap

She tells them to have fun and use them and watch them come alive under the water! Enjoy the fabulous lather and heady fragrances

Watermelon Tourmaline Soap

Happy Mother's Day Ladies ....

MOTHERS

Real Mothers don't eat quiche;
They don't have time to make it.

Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils
Are probably in the sandbox.

Real Mothers often have sticky floors,
Filthy ovens and happy kids.

Real Mothers know that dried play dough
Doesn't come out of carpets.

Real Mothers don't want to know what
The vacuum just sucked up.......

Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?'
And get their answer when a little
Voice says, 'Because I love you best.'

Real Mothers know that a child's growth
Is not measured by height or years or grade...
It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to Mother.....

The Images of Mother

4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!

8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!

12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn't know everything!

14 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother? She wouldn't have a clue.
.
16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's so five minutes ago.

18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!

25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it!

35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.

45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?

65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mom.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she
Shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
