Great Week

We have had a great week at Springfield Artworks. There was a ribbon cutting on Main Street for 6 new businesses. Wow, must be a record. A great article was in the Omaha World Herald about all the new businesses and we were quoted. Also I met with the Producer of Omaha Fashion week to go over some details about the production. I will have 8 models with 8 different hats and accessories... Pretty exciting! Mark your calendars for August 19-24. Not sure which date I will be showing but should know by first of June.

August Omaha Fashion Week

I'm in....had an interview last week and yesterday was notified that I was accepted to showcase my fascinator hats and wedding memory scarves.  Had our first meeting tonight.....Great evening. I'm excited.

Thursday Alan Trembley will be on the Omaha Morning Blend show sharing news about our weekend event for Brides and Mom's this weekend....Be sure and stay tuned from 9-10am central.

He'll also talk about our trunk show featuring Donna Christley's lovely wearable shawls and baleros

currently going on.

Winter Springfield Artworks

Springfield Artworks re-opened today after a winter break. We have traveled over 3000 miles by car through 12 states visiting suppliers, etc.  The real goal was for Glenn to take a class from Brad Walker in North Carolina. As always, he loves Brad's classes... Brad is the guru of Fused Glass processes. Glenn cherishes his books that were written by Brad.

Interesting weather, lovely scenery and tired artists, but we survived the trip.  My phone camera was always ready to snap photos of barns, interesting bridges and food.

Here is a picture of one of Glenn's creations.

Class at Brads

Glenn is ready for his class at Brad Walkers tomorrow. He is learning a new technique. He'll have a good time I'm sure. Then he'll return home in time for his valentine class for guys only making fused glass bracelets for their honey.

Platte River Christmas kicked off with Springfield,Ne businesses

Yesterday Springfield Artworks officially kicked off Platte River Christmas by inviting Main Street Businesses to the gallery. Consigning artists also attended the event.

Wine, cheese and conversation were enjoyed by all.

                                  Great holiday shopping

Christmastime at Springfield Artworks

It's that time of the year again, holiday lights, family time, decorating (which I love) and Holiday demos at Springfield Artworks.  This year Omaha artists Glenn and Margie Trembley are showing how to make elegant Christmas bows and ornaments.  Glenn is also  making Hanukah ornaments for those who celebrate Hanukah.

 Love to shop, hate the crowds and long walks in the parking lot, take the short drive to Springfield and park at the door!

Omaha Spinners and Weavers Guild Sale Tomorrow

It will be a great sale...so many lovely things.  Come see us. I'll be there from 8:15-12:15 and then at Springfield Artworks.  A customer is coming for some roving.  She didn't know we sold felting supplies.  I need to get the word out.  Mega colors available of wool roving, plus tools, etc.
