Art Along the Willow

On June 3rd I was at Art Along the Willow, a fundraiser art/craft fair for the Willow River OWLS Inc./Willow River State Park in Hudson, Wis. (OWLS stands for the Willow River Organization for Wildlife Learning.) It was a gorgeous, sunny, breezy day, and the setting, near the Willow River, was perfect for my natural, "green-dye" silk scarves.

Willow River State Park, in Hudson, is near the Wisconsin/Minnesota border and Interstate 94; with over 3000 acres it offers something for everyone - deep gorges, high overlooks, a large waterfall, walking trails, camping, fishing, swimming, Nordic skiing & snowshoeing in the winter, and several Young Naturalist Programs offered in the summer for children Kindergarden through Grade 5.

I got really nice compliments on my scarves, and sold quite a few, so I was really happy with my first time out in the art/craft show arena. My sister Mary and her husband Steve stopped by and took some pictures of the scarves in their natural setting - an art show booth! (I am so grateful that they took pictures, as I forgot my camera and really wanted to get booth pics for future shows.)

With "first show jitters" out of the way, I feel more ready to plan for more shows this summer and fall. More news on which shows I'll be doing to come shortly!
