We’re still on a high from @stonearch_fest last weekend. We had the opportunity to meet so many cool people, had a bunch of return customers, and sold an incredible amount books for our partner charities. Thank you Twin Cities for being so giving and for being such avid readers. 💚📚 And a special 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 to this awesome person who bought books and a tote and came back for more later. Please comment if it’s you!

4 fests down, 2 to go! Thank you immensely to all that have come out to support the arts and thank you MOST of all to the crews who put on these art festivals! I know that it’s a huge undertaking and want to thank you profusely. An especially special thanks to Stone Arch Festival to giving me one of my best moments of my ten year career in ceramics by voting me the festival favorite in the ceramics category. I was speechless (except for the phrase “no way” over and over again). Everyone says it l, but truly, I appreciate the recognition for the thought and energy that I put into my pieces, especially when there are so many other incredible ceramic artists creating innovative work. I am so honored and I immediately hung my certificate up in my studio to remember that feeling.

Please enjoy some photos of some dogs enjoying the doggy bar, cute customers braving both rain and heat, and other scenes from these weekends at Sculpture Garden Art Fair, Art-A-Whirl, Edina Art Fair, and Stone Arch Bridge Festival!

What’s next? July is bringing the @duskgoodsgifts anniversary pop-up in my Homaha- Omaha Nebraska on the 13th and @loringparkartfestival July 27-28!

A huge thank you to everyone who braved the rain on Saturday and the heat on Sunday to come out to the Stone Arch Bridge Festival! It was incredible to see so many of you and share my art with such a vibrant community. A special shoutout to @geneljumalon and @cecilliabunn for giving “Wend One’s Way” and “Take Off” a new home! You made the weekend even more special. Truly grateful for a weekend full of art and amazing people!

Honestly wearing the “Artist” badge was the best part. And meeting everyone who came out!! Thank you to everyone who visited my booth, brought home art, chatted with me about Taylor Swift, the State Fair, and their love of rhubarb. What amazing weekend at @stonearch_fest — thank you to Molly and all the other volunteers for putting on such a lovely event despite the rain and everything else. ☔️🖼️🧢☺️🩷

The best word to describe this weekend is WHIRLWIND. After a rough first day due to lots of rain and mud, the people of Minneapolis showed up to prove it’s all worth it in the end!

With so many amazing and deserving artists, I am in AWE to have won a “Festival Favorite” award in my category. Thank you @stonearch_fest and every single one of you who “stuck your nose into my little business”! 🥰🕯

Can’t forget my amazing mom, for being my essential right-hand gal 🩵 Until next time!

None of it would be possible without the hard working staff & volunteers - Thank you for putting together this annual Minneapolis staple 😘

And I have to give a shout out to @edinacoffeeroasters for keeping us caffeinated & my amazing booth neighbor @mollymagwire who drove up from New Orleans for this show & had a booth that blew my mind ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you @stonearch_fest for a wonderful weekend. The rain and heat made it tricky but the people showed up to celebrate artists, fun food, fancy cars and all the things that Stone Arch Bridge Festival brings. It’s a Minnesota gem.

Thank you to all the Zelba + Mary supporters who came out this weekend. Your lovely and kind words make me so happy and proud.

A couple of my favorite stories of the weekend include the nice man from New York who bought one of our friends for his daughter because when she was young and he traveled he always bought little things for her. She’s 26 now but he still wanted to get her something. It was so fun to watch him take his time to pick the perfect one.

I loved the two different families with two little girls each that were very generous in my 10x10 and when they walked away with their packages in hand looked at their dads and sad “happy Father’s Day dad”. Queue smiling dad hugs.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention my last interaction of the festival. A sweet family, mom, dad and daughter who were all deaf came into my 10x10 at the end of day on Sunday and found the little girls new best friend. Our interaction was easy and sweet and so kind. We spoke completely different languages but the conversation was lovely.

Also…I love a good corn dog and let me tell you, the corn dogs from @fairfaves are the best! Super crunchy outside, lots of moist corn batter on the inside. It was lunch both days.

So, thank you @stonearch_fest and all the lovely people who attended the festival. You make it possible for all of us to keep making our art.

You guys, for years it’s been a goal of mine to win an award at a show, but it’s never happened, UNTIL TODAY!!! 🤩

I feel so, so honored, as each category was given an award, and out of all the painters, it was given to me, even though so many of them were also deserving of it 🤍 It makes me feel recognized for all of our hard work and it’s a boost of encouragement.

Thank you @stonearch_fest for this honor-I so appreciate all you do in putting such a big and fun festival together. Until next year 🤍

We decided to go (kind of last minute) to the @stonearch_fest. We stopped at the @guthrietheater first. I realized the kids had never been to one of my favorite spots in the entire city - so today was a nice day to do it. We said “hi” to the river, saw the festival from up high and made our way back down. Mini donuts were our only food purchase, but they were YUMMY! The kids devoured the snacks we brought from home - and I’m so glad we packed the big water bottles. We made a quick detour to the playground and played for a bit. While we didn’t walk the whole path this year, we certainly made the most of our three hours there today!
