Art & Wine Weekend

It's here at last and I'm finally prepared...I think...for this year's Art & Wine Weekend. I've been busy all week matting up my photos and packaging my notecards.

My tent will be located between Island Realty (45 Via de Luna) and Paddy O'Leary's (49 Via de Luna). As I've told others, just follow the sound of laughter because Cajun Stitchery and Sisters of the Beach will be nearby. All these wonderful ladies are a hoot!

I hope you'll stop by and say hello. Sometimes it can get very busy, but then I may get a break in the traffic and have an opportunity to chat a minute. It's always fun to meet my blog readers when they stop by.

Wish me luck!

Happy Anniversary to me!

I can't believe this is the fourth anniversary of my Barrier Island Girl blog! With a few exceptions during family emergencies, I've been at it consistently the whole time. My blog viewers have been supportive, encouraging, and kind.

I have met many special people and learned more than I thought possible. The only thing I would do differently about the blog is the name -- I'm a bit long in the tooth (old) to be identified as Barrier Island Girl! Still, it is what it is and even when I'm 70, I will feel like a barrier island girl on this special, beautiful island which heals the spirit and leaves you feeling blessed.
