Happy Spring!!!
I was lucky enough to travel to Portugal this year. I am full of inspiration from the stunning, ancient architecture and another cultural symbol called Andorinhas.
Andorinhas are the Portuguese swallows, and represent good luck & love.
Colorful, little handpainted ceramic Andorinhas are renowned all over Portugal and hang in many homes & restauraunts. (and many in my own home too)
I am excited to find some perfect little castings I can use to make earrings to represent my Portuguese heritage (I am 1/2 Portuguese)
I've got my schedule posted for this Spring & Summer. I look forward to seeing many of you again this season!
This is my 30th year being self employed. What a wonderful career it has been. Thank you to my pops who made it ALL possible for me!
