Maria is moving her pillows and potholders into the Pig Barn Art Gallery, for her functional art show, October 8-9 at Bedlam Farm, Columbus Day Weekend, 11 to 4. Lenore and Simon are the official greeters, and it seems like people are trekking her from as far away as England, Washington State, Oregon and North and South Carolina. Good for them, and for us.

Maria has assembled the work of nine gifted arts, including herself – mugs, quilts, memory boxes, jewely, paintings, great functional art at very reasonable prices. Height of foliage season. Details on her website.
