Off to the Wildflower Center in Austin Dec. 5th and 6th




We set up our display for the Wild Ideas show in Austin at the Wildflower Center today. We worried about the forecast for snow flurries and slick roads today and tomorrow but we had little to worry about as the snow was light and fluffy and very sparse on the drive up and as we set up the show. The sun was shining by the time we left to return home. The show runs from 9 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. Saturday and Noon to 5 P.M. on Sunday.

The Wild Ideas show is one we look forward to each year and this year is no exception. We will have a nice selection of original little wildflower paintings. Along with the original art we will have reproductions of many of Linda's larger wildflower paintings on keepsake boxes, mugs, ornaments, ceramic tiles and of course plenty of wildflower note cards. We have extras of the special wildflower Christmas cards that Linda designs each year to add one more special Texas touch to your gift giving.

We are in great company with a slew of fellow artists that have their own creative artwork on display with us and I thought I would share them with you.
