Fairytale Fundraising




Most everyone here knows about my book groups and workshops. And most everyone here knows about my fund raising programs, which include a selection of my needle and wet felted art, handcrafted masks, puppets, hand dyed playsilks, and other fun things; and carefully chosen companies' products that further nurture children's creativity, with a portion of all sales donated to local organizations.

Now I have the opportunity to offer both in one, with a Fairy Tale Theme.

Invite your favorite adults over for a "Fairytales and Cocktails Party" (or mocktails, if you prefer), a fun and festive evening that starts as I share books and lead a discussion of the enduring power of fairy tales, followed by the chance to purchase a selection of titles we have talked about. A portion of those sales will then be donated to the cause or event of your choice. 

 Please talk to me about adding yours to my list, or contact me about larger fund raisers; possible through performances, on-site vending, the sale of specific art through my etsy shops, or through Barefoot Books Book Fairs, catalog or on-line ordering.

Art Cards


It's always a good day when I can paint!
These are little works of art that I paint on the back of some of my business 'postcards'.  I had the postcards printed (1,000 of them!) a few years back for large conference I was exhibiting at, trying to showcase both my  Storyteller Moon business and my Barefoot Books business. Though they have the correct contact information, and a neat description of both businesses, they just aren't my style really, and I rarely gave them out since that conference...  but I still had so many left!  So I came up with this idea of how they might be better put to use... spreading a little happiness & art!


   
   
How very incredible is it to be able to say, "Oh! I have a business networking event coming up...guess it's time to paint some new cards!" Stop by my table at the Belfast area 'Best of the Best' event, Monday August 18th from 5pm - 8pm at the University of Maine Hutchinson Center, and take home your own free little piece of original Storyteller Moon art...which just happens to have some of my business information on the back! :) A silent auction will take place from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, and you'll have a chance to bid on some other items from Storyteller Moon, Mothers Moon, and Barefoot On The Moon.
