Did you eat some CAKE on XMAS!

Did you eat some CAKE on XMAS - We didn't...... But if I was going to eat a cake, or even a pie - I would love one from these beautiful ladies. WE are hoping that everyone is having a great Holiday Season and a Healthy and happy new Year.

Holiday Happenings at the MADE shop!

We have organized three events at MADE shop for this holiday season. First on the list is a visit from Elise Moran of EAM design. We have know Elise for many years and are selling her work very well in the shop. So she is coming down from Portsmouth, New Hampshire on November 12th and 13th with lots of new work. These two days will be your only opportunity to see lots of her work all at once in the Shop. On November Friday November 12th from 6-8pm we will stay open late and snacks and refreshments will be served. I have also made a postcard for the event and those of you on our mailing list should look for one to arrive sometime between the 6th and 8th of November. If you are on the email list I will also be sending the card via email. Elise will be here for the whole two days and you will have a chance to meet her if you stop by either of the days.

Here is the postcard!




And some samples of her work!
