Winter is coming!
[Pretend I've inserted a Game of Thrones meme here]
The 2025 holiday season is officially upon us. Halloween was frightful and delightful. I judged an all-ages costume contest in downtown Arlington and we actually had a group of trick-or-treaters stop by the house!
My Rockford Peach costume, post-costume contest (excluding all of the contest participants because I was too busy to even take photos!)
I also just had my first holiday market of the season this past weekend in Seattle at the Swedish Club. I am now in full Santa's helper mode, painting new ornaments and miniature paintings because those were selling like crazy at the Tomte Market. Thanks to all who showed up!
The full list of the remaining holiday events:

11/15/25 Arlington Art Council's Holiday Bazaar 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
11/30/25 Artists Sunday at Snoqualmie Middle School 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
12/6/25 Winter Makers Market at Arrowhead Ranch 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
There is also a high likelihood I will be at Bremerton's First Friday Art Walk in downtown Bremerton from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm next month (12/6). Details for the event can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/BremertonFirstFriday.
I am looking forward to seeing some familiar faces at these events and meeting even more of you. The world is pretty dark right now and these sweet little markets bring so much light. <3
