October’s Beauty calls us outdoors and surrounds us with the magnificent colors of her leaves. The air feels warm in the sun but cool in the shade—we wear a light jacket or sweatshirt.

Avis Cherichetti grew up in a family that made things. Her mother quilted and her father was a woodworker so she grew up knowing it was acceptable to be an artist.
Thank you to everyone who came to our first Pop-Up Arts and Crafts show at Lost Acres Vineyard in June. It was wonderful to have an in-person show to connect with our customers again.
