Tinsel and Treasures 2009

I believe that when a small group of like-minded women
come together with the sole purpose of sharing their art
something magical will transpire.


Melissa Valeriote







Marcia Harmon


Sally Case




Dee Foust



Charlene Geiger


Ulla Milbrath

I am certain we all left the show feeling that we were
part of something greater than ourselves and that
the success of Tinsel and Treasures will be measured by
the intangible connections we made as we shared our art,
our stories of life, careers, families, of what motivates us
to put our feet on the ground every morning and the
thoughts that linger in our minds as our heads sink into our
pillows at night. Thank you Iva for showing us once again
your capacity for love and inspiration has no limits.
Thank you Colleen for sharing your heart and home.
Thank you dear friends and collectors for stopping by
with kind words and support making it possible for
me to fall asleep with stars in my eyes.
