  • Weekly Photo Challenge: Community

    Community happened this morning. Stephanie came to my studio for a few shots for her LinkedIn page. We are both members of a group for women in “career change”.

  • Winter Wares: Ceramic Arts To Have AND To Hold

    An evening of ceramic and glass art showcased by the fine cuisine of Sapor Cafe & Wine Bar was the perfect prelude to Winter Wares, a companion event held at Circa Gallery, Minneapolis, MN, December 13th. Winter Wares provided a festive, personal venue in which supporters, collectors, visitors and fellow artists could browse and meet-and-greet.…

Yes, I intended to cut them into tree shapes (!gasp!), but I did not intend to leave out a good portion of the ingredients. Lucky for me, Minnesota has been noted as one of the states now…

  • 55101/ Part Two: Black Dog Coffee & Wine Bar

    Winter may be upon us but my pursuit of interesting places in the “hip zip” 55101 continues. Of course The Black Dog Coffee and Wine Bar in Lowertown is on my list. A favorite of many since opening its doors in early 1998, it started out as a place for coffee and conversation and has…

  • Chestnut Street Inn, Asheville, NC

    The little orange cat looked up at me through the side door of The Chestnut Street Inn. Because I had not done my homework, I did not know that this was THE Mr. Pumpkin Pie, feline resident and official greeter. The Inn, located in the Chestnut Hill Historic District of Asheville, NC, is part of…
