This Friday I’m going to the first annual Branches barn sale, a venue where talented individuals are bringing their lovingly created works of artistry, from stained glass, beading and wood turning, to fiber weaving, sewing and recycled furniture.  I have saved my pennies for months to go to this sale, birthed and hosted by artist and wonderful friend, CMShaw (aka Marian).

Go here (to the official Gathering Branches blog) to learn about CMShaw, to read about the artists participating, and to see BEAUTIFUL photos of many creations available for sale.

Follow these directions on the final-barn-sale-invitation to see, handle, salivate over and purchase the items, whether you’re treating yourself or loved ones over the holidays.

Next year I hope to add in some of my own stuff, since Year of the Dreaded Lyme Disease (YDLD, which I am finally getting better from) kinda took this one over.  However, I was able to contribute a little by designing the aspen artwork on the flyer and tags.  Thanks, Marian :).

See you there!
