Simon has been promoted to the Bedlam Farm Marketing Team, joining seasoned pros like Izzy and Lenore, and soon, Frieda. Simon was happy to pose with Maria’s newest streaming fiber pillow titled “The Possibilities Are Endless,” to be shown and put up for sale at the Pig Barn Art Gallery, Bedlam Farm, Columbus Day Weekend, October 8-9, ll to 4. In challenging times, we all have to pay our own way.

Simon and Lenore are official greeters, I will be signing copies of “Going Home” which can be purchased at your local bookstore or at nearby Gardenworks and Battenkill Books in Salem, N.Y.

Maria has assembled the works of 9 functional artists – functional art that is reasonably priced, ranging from pottery to jewelry to fiberworks, paintings, felting, striking pincushions  and new memory boxes. Artist reception is from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, in the restored Pig Barn, one of the farm’s prettiest barns. Details on Maria’s website.
