Spring!

Spring has finally just arrived here in upstate, NY....and with it comes creative days in the studio, hours preparing jewelry boxes, and the construction of paper flowers! I am one of three women organizing our first Mother's Day Pop Shop at the local Arts Council building, a gorgeous old Mansion set off Main Street. It will be a three day extravaganza....hosting an awesome local DJ and raffles & drinks on Friday night, a full craft show on Saturday and then special Mothers Day events for Sunday.

For more info about our event, find us on Facebook: pop shop Oneonta, or email us at holidaypopshop@gmail.com

And here is a sneak peak of what I have been making in the studio lately.....

Home Again

                            So much for my good intentions of posting more regularly on my trip!

                                                                              {sigh}

My winter travels this year were amazing. Beyond expectation. Turkey is a country full of history and beauty. The land, the people, the Mediterranean Sea.  I wandered around the streets of Istanbul the day prior to flying back to New York and felt clearly as though I'd be there again someday.

This Year's Travels...

Leaps and bounds seem to occur between my posts here on this blog! Always wishing to be more consistent, persistent and spontaneous with what I capture and share on this space.
I have been traveling now for two weeks in Turkey, with my love, Mr. Ryan. And while my winter escapes from New York State have taken me far and wide, they have never before brought me to the Middle East. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect or how it would be, but I must say it is by far exceeding my expectations as a culture, as a people, and as a landscape. It has been such a pleasure to be here, a region so steeped in history, a land where east meets west.

Hoping to have more regular photos and posts to share during the duration of my trip, which lasts until early April. For now, here are some pictures that capture bits and pieces.....
