BLUE

BLUE...Three of my friends and I are having a four woman art show at our local historical theater in the Art Bar. Lincoln Theater is a golden spot in Mount Vernon and is preserved by a group of active citizens. The Art Bar features emerging artists each month. We are presenting BLUE during the month of September. This is our way of expressing our art in its "BLUE PHASE" as a way to give expression to their many passages in life, and also as a kind of comfort, as a writer with words, brings form and familiarity of composition to elements of life that have complexity. You are all invited to come and visit BLUE!

BOY...it has been a long time and much has happened.  We are finally all moved in to our new home and we love it.  It has taken us some time to get settled and we are still getting all the systems in the home checked out.  So far we have replaced the heating system and overhauled the septic system, replaced the hot water heater and now I'm getting a new dish washer.  I know it all sounds bad, but it will be worth it in the end.  We basically purchased a million dollar view at a bargain price.  You get what you pay for.  The view is worth everything!! 

It is closer to "That's Knot All" and that makes me very happy!

My friend Sue Beyer wrote and article and had it published in After Fifty Living website and Facebook.  Here is the URL.  She does a great job.  I though I'd share it!

I'll write again!  I'm getting ready for Easter at the shop!  YEA!

That's all for now!

BYE!!

Artfully Ann's is moving to Camano Island. I know I've been quiet lately. That is because I am unpacking boxes and getting my studio ready for a big reveal. My primary focus will be to continue to stock my shelves at That's Knot All in La Conner, WA. Etsy will be my secondary method of sales. Once things settle down I can reassess and see where this new path takes me. Thanks for bearing with me! More to come.

Artfully Ann's items can now be found at That's Knot All Artist's Co-Op in La Conner, Washington. 

I've been busy setting up my displays and learning the ropes.  I really like the people and the location of the shop.  It is on the water side of Pier 7.  

La Conner has a new board walk along the river and it makes a great place to stroll as you watch the boats go by.  There is great shopping, good food and wonderful views.

That's Knot All is having an Open House this coming weekend on Saturday, August 1, from 11:00 to closing.  There will be live Art demonstrations and snacks.  Come on by and visit us.  Most of the artists will be there and available to discuss their work.  Lots of beautiful art and gifts are available.   

 It is not to early to start shopping for Christmas!!

Hope to see you there.  Check out our Facebook pages.

 

BYE for now!!

It has been a while.  I've been pretty busy making new products, but also attending markets and setting up a new shop.  I'm so excited I have to tell you about it.  I am also very active on my Facebook page on a daily basis if you want to keep up.  "Like" www.facebook.com/artfullyanns and join the Artfully Ann's community.

First,  I was invited to participate in a few of the Everett Farmers Market events on Sundays from 11 o' clock to 4 o'clock.  It is a beautiful market right on the waterfront pier in Everett.  I'm a new vendor and have participated in two Sunday events.  It takes a while to get your foot in the door.  I'm hoping there will be spots available later in the summer.  The long standing vendors get first pick on booths.  I'm on stand-by.  I'll let you know next time I have an opportunity to sell there. 

Here is a picture of my booth.

Second, during our visit to La Conner, Washington on Mother's Day (our favorite place to visit for brunch) I walked into an artist co-op.  I asked them about joining.  I completed all the paperwork and was juried in.  They have accepted my fiber art into the co-op gallery.  I'm just thrilled!

Last week I went  to set up my display in the shop.  Now I have a full time location where my items are on display and available for sale.  I'm very pleased.  The co-op is call "That's Knot All Artists' Co-Operative" and is located in the Yellow Pier 7 Building, 128 S 1st Street, La Conner, WA  98257, Phone 360-399-1660.  The shop is open daily, seven days a week from 11o'clock to 4 o'clock.  Check it out on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Thats-Knot-All-Artists-Co-Operative.

 

 Here are some pictures of my display at That's Knot All!

 

 

In addition, I will also be participating in the ArtsNorth Studio Tour on September 12 and 13th.  More information on this tour can be found at https://www.facebook.com/ArtsNorthStudioTour.

 

In late September I will be at Corvallis, Oregon for the Fall Festival.  As we get closer to September I will fill you in.  Gee, it isn't even summer yet.  

 

Let the fun begin.  Come a visit when you get a chance, or just check in on Facebook, or check out my Etsy site at www.etsy.com/shop/artfullyanns

 

By for now!!
