HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING?
I am excited that this stone is finally completed. It is a tribute to everyone and everything that loves to sing-people and birds in the garden. This beautiful spring is certainly cause for singing. How Can I Keep From Singing is an old Quaker hymn dating back to the 1800's in the United States. This arrangement by the Aeolians of Oakwood University emphasizes the celebratory and life-affirming aspects of this song. Happy Spring!

HOLLYHOCK DAYS GUEST ARTIST -ROBIN MACKINTOSH
I am very excited that Robin is joining us this spring for Hollyhock Days. She has been a part of our Holiday Gift Open House for years and has recently visited our spring workshop series with a fantastic session on making felted birds. Robin is a lucky, lucky girl...she has a charming, patient, supportive husband...2 fat, wiggly pugs (you cannot have a bad day when surrounded by pugs)...a doting mother who taught her that she could do anything she sets her mind to...and she gets to do something she loves for a living!!! She loves to make things...it all starts with jewelry, but sometimes a brooch idea becomes a wall piece...sometimes earring ideas make better lamps...so she has expanded her horizons, you could say she makes ornamentation for the body and home...Robin also has the pleasure of being a member of Eclectics, the artists co-op...could life be any sweeter?

YOU CURSED BRAT! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE...
Do you remember that great scene in the Wizard of OZ when Dorothy grabs the pail of water to douse the flames on the Scarecrow and hits the Wicked Witch? Click here to see it: I'M MELTING! Jane is an avid member of a Wizard of Oz club and requested two new stones to add to my Wizard of OZ collection. They are ready at last for Jane to put into her OZ garden and she "won't have to go looking any further than her own front door"!
