News from Heidi Mae: celebrate the season

I love, love, love the snow!!! I've been dashing around in my parka and mukluks and am hoping to pull out the skis soon, likely this weekend if the snow forecast comes true. And, despite the extra shoveling, the snow certainly boosts the holiday spirit...

Silver Lake Floral in Virginia, MN initiated the festivities a couple weeks ago with their holiday open house. Right when the door opened at 8 am, the enthusiastic clientele enjoyed browsing through the holiday wonderland for gifts and decor, including the work of local artists, such as my own prints and notecards and also fabric arts by Emma. You can see more photos of the day on the Facebook page for Silver Lake Floral (here).

This coming Saturday brings more of the jolly spirit with a visit from Mrs. Claus to Silver Lake Floral. Children can stop in to visit and also work on a project with the ladies, creating a Christmas decoration. Mrs. Claus will visit from 9 am - 2 pm.

Coming up on December 4th, I will be participating in the NLAA Art/Craft Fair at the Ely Community Center. I'll have a variety of prints available, along with a limited number of framed prints and notecards. Coinciding with the 1 pm parade for "An Old Fashioned Christmas in America's Coolest Small Town", these events are the perfect time to be out-and-about in Ely! Visit ely.org for more details.

I'd like to see some of your notecards! Sorry I missed the Christmas Open House at Silver Lake Floral, too...guess I'll have to stop in another night.
