Dandelion Festival Pictures!

Here are a few pictures of my demo at The Bead Store in Kemptville at the weekend. My trusty helper is Jane, you can see she's very good for a person's self esteem! ... and she doesn't usually wear silly hats like that! (If you see your picture here and you'd rather it wasn't, let me know and I'll remove it ;o) )









Thanks to hubby David for taking the pics! And big thanks also to Jane for standing by me, and to Jeannette for inviting me to spend the weekend in her store!

After, we went hog wild!

Dandelion Festival - Kemptville, Ontario

This coming weekend, June 7 & 8 is the Dandelion Festival in Kemptville. If you are in the area check it out!

I am going to be at The Bead Store / Rideau School of Art, on Prescott Street both days. Store owner Jeannette Froese Leblanc has invited me to be her guest artist for the festival. I'll be setting up my hothead torch, bringing some glass and lots beads. If you want to see how a glass bead is made I'll be doing demo's throughout Saturday and Sunday and would love it if you can stop by!

On the home front I have a new family member to introduce to you. He arrived the day before yesterday from the Lanark Animal Welfare Society shelter in Smiths Falls. His shelter name was Raff, and so far he's keeping it. Somehow it seems a fitting tribute to our beautiful old boy Raffi who we had to have put to sleep a few weeks ago at 19 years of age.

You can see, he's making himself quite at home!



Its no wonder the speed at which I can work at the computer has slowed to a crawl!



Aww look! Raff is waving!



Now does he have BIG paws or is it my imagination?



Nap time at last!

I've just left him exhausted in the living room after giving him a sprig of catmint that's growing outside. He really enjoyed that!
