What was just recently festooned in the living room is soon to be goat food for the cuties down the road at Fine Fettle Farm and @green_mountain_meg. But I kind of like how it looks in the winter patio. #thelittlebrickvt #christmastreeafterlife

Just going about my business and my own signature caught my attention in the window at @fhgillinghams in Woodstock, VT. I made this art a few years ago and Park Designs made some beautiful kitchen and home products. They fit right in at Gillinghams. @parkdesigns @wildappleart

Thanks to all who joined us in Barnard, Vermont, yesterday to celebrate my mom’s life and honor her recent death. What a privilege to know all of you and to be so supported by family and friends from near and far, from then and now.
