It is, once again, time for the WONDERFUL "Country Living Fair" In Ohio Village Columbus, Ohio.
This fair is sponsored by Country Living Magazine, whom, along with "Early American Life" magazine, had been the introduction to county decorating, country cooking, antique collecting and folk art, since the early 1980's.
I Have exhibited in their Atlanta Market for 2 years, but this will be my first Ohio Country Living Fair. I've been busy making lots of lovely paper delights to sell from my booth.

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have ooodles of wonderful pieces for sale and I hope you do very well.
Love and hugs ~ FlowerLady

I agree with Erin.. Plug away my friend.. Your art should be the hit of the Fair.. Gosh I wish I could be there.. Up front and center..
ReplyDeleteFor the life of me I cannot figure out how you manage the paper cuttings.. They are so detailed and tiny.. Masterful work Jeri, and I just LOVE your paper glass gardens.. I am sure those will fly off the tables.
Have a great time, wishing you the best of sales, and have a safe trip.
I will be thinking of you.
fondly,
Penny
Hi Erin, I will be at the Dickens Christms In December in Franklin, TN. Jeri
ReplyDeleteLucky, lucky friends that are close enough to come by...I can only wish and dream. Your booth would be first on my list and probably my last since I'd max out my Visa!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to hearing all the details, Jeri. Have funfunfun!
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO my darling and talented friend. I am so proud of your accomplishments and YOUR HARD WORK that got you here. As I struggle daily to find my hidden abilities that will not only enchant me but OTHERS, I see how long it will take for me to get to this point of recognition. If you have not seen her yet, come on over and click on my "WEBSITE" button under my header to see my very first paper mâché character. She stand about 20 inches tall and is under a bell jar as well. I am quite proud of her.
ReplyDeleteYou are fabulous and if I could, I would be there in a jif to see you.
Tight hugs and warm wishes for a successful exhibit! Anita
Oh Jeri I hope you have a terrific show. I love everything I see here and so wish I could be there.
ReplyDeleteMuch good luck and hugs.......
I know it's going to be such a wonderful show! I truly wish I could be there. You plug away all you can my friend. Your art is some of my most prized possessions.

JERI DARLIN'!
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming to my website construction site! You viewed PENELOPE MATILDE (in honor of two fabulous blogging pals). She was fun to make and I am making a smaller version to sit atop a little box. She will be offered on Etsy for Halloween. I am also making a RABBIT!
Ruben found the 20 inch cloche on-line!!! However, there is a fabulous antique store in my area that has loads of them. This one that she stands under is nice and thick where all the other ones out there, though beautiful, are more delicate. She is my mouse for keeps!
Thank you again for your encouragement. I really means a lot to me.
LOVE, Anita
Good evening Jeri,
ReplyDeleteWell, it seems as if little Audrey the mouse, aka.... Breakfast at Tiffacheese, has been impersonating Bebe.. teehee... I will have a talk with her. But you are right Jeri, Bebe is very well rounded. I appreciate your encouraging words. Thank you so much my friend for coming by and leaving such a sweet note!
fondly,
Penny
I hope the fair was wonderful for you!
ReplyDeleteMay the Heavens shine upon you, dear
ReplyDeleteJeri, and may you return to TN all
sold out. I am still in awe of your
exquisite scherenschnitte and anything else you turn your hand to
do.... the cloche creations are so
charming... Have a ball with Country
Living and as Flower Lady suggested,
CL would be wise to feature your
beautiful work in one of their issues. Fame hard-won and deserved.
Our Mary
Hi Jeri,
ReplyDeleteI hope you have arrived home safe and with a PILE of money from your sales at the Fair.. I sure wish I could have been there.. You were in my thoughts this weekend.. I can't wait to see photos of the fair.
fondly,
Penny
