Had a very busy week last week. A lot of new used books coming in (and going out!) so I’m behind in promoting the August Arts Walk. A day late…but better late than never, right?

Continuing with the theme I set for 2014, Celebrating Words!, I chose an artist who I found on Etsy, Rachel Gertrude who is all the way from California. Rachel attracted me because of her use of colors, her style and that she produces postcards. Rachel enhances her work with sayings that seem to fit with all that’s going in the world today. To take a step back and appreciate life and the living. I love her work. You can see more of it at her shop, http://www.etsy.com/shop/rachelgertrude.

Here is the display I set up to promote her work:

I’ll leave you with a quote from Rachel, which I love: “How we live is just as important of a creative mark as our latest painting or whatever it is we’re doing.”
