Jack Jones Flowers & Gifts, which has carried my art prints for several years, now also carries my jewels made from upcycled buttons, paper and other doo dads. Here's a little sampling.
Fluttery and unbelievably light earrings. You won't believe these are paper! All paper items have been sealed to be water resistant.
Button bracelets are eye catching and fun to wear. No two are exactly alike.
Old Levi buttons for the Boho style. Unique, fun and swingy.
Eye catching red with black edges and brass fittings.
Went by Merison’s today to check on my artwork sales.
Just one of many art pieces I have at Merison's.
But when I came in the door ….
I fell in love with this chair. Isn’t it great! It’s round and it turns. My inner child just loved it!
And apparently … so does Susan Jones!
While I was there I saw some paintings by two of my favorite local artist - Eleanor Baker and Ann Stapp.
And gorgeous pottery by Ridgehaven Studios.
Snapped this photo just because I thought the set up was so purty! Someone needs to make this into an art piece. Maybe I will. Check back later! …. Seriously.
Back to my art work and Merison’s. Yes! Merison’s is one of several places that carry my art.
And it doesn’t hurt that they are happy, fun loving folks.

The following was originally posted on July 12, 2011. A special thanks to Paris! Magazine for writing such a nice article about this in their June 2012 edition.

I know you ask sometimes, “Where does she get these ideas?” Well, this is how “Elvis at the Paris City Auditorium” came about.
During the North Poplar Street Yard Sale last month, my Aunt Jane took me on a tour though some back yards. There was a sign she wanted me to see at the old Paris City Auditorium. The sign had something to do with Elvis.
We traveled down the driveway of Carol & Kenny Doster. We passed this Peace Sign.
Then we passed this really big paw print.
Did you know Bigfoot lived on North Poplar??
Then we came upon the old Paris City Auditorium.
It was a little sad to see it this way. According to Visit Downtown Paris - “This building was used for everything from basketball games to concerts. In its hey day of the 50’s and 60’s, everyone from Elvis to Jerry Lee Lewis to Flatt and Scruggs performed there. There are a million memories and songs permeating that building!”
We went inside.
There was a little old ....
And some new ...
And then,
I saw this.
And ... well, I became inspired.
So, I took this photo ....
And turned it into this.
Then I added the Elvis sign I had seen inside....
and put it on the front porch to get this.
And then I really got carried away. It just needed a little more Elvis. I won’t keep you in suspense anymore. This is the final product.
Hope you like it. I’m adding it to my “Windows On The Square” series.
