Spring has Sprung

Every spring, Fall and winter, I change things around the cottage. Not for the Holidays but for the seasons. A lighter airy feel in the spring and summer. So I took yesterday off and switched things out, In the process you always find items that need cleaned, areas that need some TLC, etc. So of course it takes more than one day. I also got a little side tracked. I was recently at the local Thrift store and came across a dresser  I think from the late 1800's. My kids will say, Mom don't you have enough furniture or I thought you were cleaning out. But non the less here it is, now the same old dilemma, do I leave it wood or paint it? We'll as an artist my first thought goes to paint it! A couple years ago, everything in my home was painted , so I am trying to bring some wood back. I will live with it for a week or so till the answer comes! The other question arrives do you keep it or sell it? Hum mm!

Red Rabbit Antiques, That Lady over There Antiques, and Briar Cottage Studio will be at the Park next Saturday, Come and visit, should be a wonderful day!

PS.  The Winkles will be there in person, Come check it out!

Harvey S. Firestone Park Festival of the Arts

Saturday, August 4, 2012 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Columbiana, Ohio

The Harvey S Firestone Park Festival of the Arts marks the 26th year for the free public event. The Firestone Park festival wa...s known for quality antiques, arts, and crafts and will continue that tradition this year on August 4, 2012 with a juried event.

Proceeds from the Festival goes toward improvement and maintenance of the 52 acres Harvey S. Firestone donated to the village.

The first year for the Festival was in 1983 and offered charter participants preferred site reservations that would be honored each year. The first application spoke of the historic Village of Columbiana and focused on the how Columbiana was situated on western trade routes for territorial expansion and railroad development.

This year’s Festival has been revived through the Columbiana Area Tourism Bureau now a committee of the Columbiana Chamber of Commerce. The Festival will take place on Saturday, August 4, 2012 from 10am to 5pm, rain or shine, and will feature crafts, art, and antiques as in original years. Entertainment, and a 50/50 raffle will also be a part of the day’s festivities.

Concessions will be available as well as free parking.

Come & Gone

Come & Gone,  in more ways than one! Spring has come and gone and I have to apologize, there was no Spring Open House. I am in a transitional mode. As you know the Cottage has Come & Gone, Yes I miss it also! But life is all about changes, and there has been many. I want to Thank Everyone for your support the past 14 years, because of you my dreams and my love for art have become a reality..... If you don't mind, how about a jaunt down memory lane at The Cottage.....................
