These are a few of the purchases I made at Portland Art
Collective's recent Open Doors Show and Sale. I am so lucky to be a part of this fabulously inspiring group of artists!

Tin covered handmade book by Carol Cotton. The little circle says "listen". It really spoke to me, reminding me to "listen" in my coaching business. The heart was created by Gloria
Sowell, "the present moment" - a message telling me to live in the present. The necklace was made by Tory
Brokenshire - I don't know whether to wear it or write with it! Love it!!!

I hung the assemblage created by Lorraine Jones on the front of a mural in my entry (mural painted by me). When I first tried to hammer in the nail, it bounced off the wall (almost like it was real stone). This is the first thing I have
ever attached to one of my murals!

This heart in a frame (Gloria
Sowell) states "one wing caught with mine".
Hmmm, will this be my 2011?

Love this fabric dragonfly vase created by Sandy
Keating. I had to have it, and knew exactly where it would go in my home!

This tiny 2" x 2" book was made by Tammy Vail (from a typewriter ribbon tin). She showed it to me, and I snapped it right up!

A couple of the pages from the handmade book by Tammy.
