A COTTAGE BOUTIQUE - PLEASANTON, CA

Yesterday, Donna O'Brien and I ventured out of American Harvest to see the exciting creations at A Cottage Boutique art show.  There were many wonderful artists displaying and selling their work.  I am not going to list them all for fear that I might omit someone by mistake.  But here are a few examples of the fine work at this show.

Stacy French embellished a vintage silhouette with ephemera, vintage frame and vintage easel.

Melissa Tereck's creative "Avril" box made with shells and satin.

Christine Lefever's carton doll.

This is a lovely French wig doll by Christine Lefever.

Connie Govea Stuart's altered art creations - a small book and coin purse complimented with vintage photos and charms.

Jenny Adams Hernandez surprised me with this highly detailed doll that she brought to me at the store as a gift.  It was a delight to meet Jenny and I will treasure this gift always.

I am fortunate to have a career that I love and be surrounded by talented artists.  It was great to have a gathering of creative women all in one place so close to my shop.  My wish is that you will be able to come to Pleasanton and be a part of the special world that I live and experience everyday.

It looks and sounds like you two had a wonderful time. I had seen a few pictures a friend of mine had shared since she also set up there that day. Thank you for sharing with those of us too far away to attend.
