Gustav Stickley, Gustav Reyes and Wood Art Jewelry

We are back from Madison Wi. and it was a great show for us. The weather was perfect and as I have said in the past " I don't want life to live me I want to live life." We did just that. The highlight of the show was meeting the grand daughter of Gustav Stickley she was a pure delight. Gustav Stickley is only one of my greatest inspiration google his name the name of John Ruskin and William Morris. She also purchase three pieces. That was humbling. It is nice when life comes at you that way.
