If you find yourself at Austin Bergstrom Intl Airport (ABIA) any time between now and mid October, please take a moment to check out the wonderful Handmade Austin Women exhibit on display upstairs. I’m so thrilled to be part of this wonderful group of talented women.

Also, Blue Genie Art will soon be opening a retail shop located at The Oasis.    In rebuilding after the terrible fire out there, they have expanded the restaurant and they have designed and built a number of retail outlets next door to the restaurant. While not open just yet, the Blue Genie store will be open year round and for those of you familiar with the Blue Genie Art Bazaar, the store will be like a mini version of the Bazaar.   More to come on this when I have details about the exact dates and times.  I’ll have a large assortment of cards available at the BG store.  Thanks Dana and Kevin!

Many of you know my dear friend Spike Gillespie, writer and blogger extraordinaire.   This Sunday (August 14th), from 3:00-6:00, she’ll be hosting an all-around fun craft day at Book Woman here in Austin.  This will be some terrific fun for all ages so please come by and check it out.       Here is her blog post  http://tinyurl.com/3zaxjm5

I’ll be there doing a crochet demo there from 4-6, so if anyone wants to stop by and hang out and crochet, we’d love to see you!

Oh, and Moxie has moved!  It now lives with Solid Gold on 1601 E. 5th (at Comal), Austin, TX  78702.    If you’re looking for flower hair clips and cards  Moxie is a great place to find them.
