ART on the farm

The October event is right around the corner........
Jason and I are working hard to make the event special and unique for everyone visiting
(October 7th and 8th)

Part of the uniqueness to this past spring's event was hosting an art class with teacher/artist Jeanne Oliver.  The class filled up quickly and a creative fun time was had by all who attended.
(you can visit here to see photos of the past art class)

Creating.........within an atmosphere of farm life..........sharing........inspiration..........memories together.......on the prairie  

under the skylights in the horse barn, and the sounds of the horses and chickens in the background, you will be able to learn from her artistic abilities with

and these lovely ladies will be here on the farm to guide you in this process....teach you how to create




if you have met Jeanne, you will automatically have a smile on your face......
Jeanne is not only creative, but such a peaceful soul - so joyful - and it's one of the qualities I admire and aspire to be myself.......

and having her back to the farm to teach 3 classes this October 7th and 8th is so exciting...

  1. Such a bummer I am so far away. I would love to go to that vintage journal class...argh!!!! Please post some pics afterward. I would love to see them. I've always wanted to do one of my own but I never know where to begin. There are so many beautiful embellishments out on the market these days.
