As the temperatures in Madison, Wisconsin are toppling into a record setting 75 degrees (yes, it is mid-March), I can't stop thinking about the Madison Holiday Market!

We are knee deep in 'planning-mode' getting ready for another GREAT show in November.

If you haven't added it to your calendar yet.... you may want to now! November 2, 3 & 4, 2012.

Beautiful gifts from the Heart

I am glad to be back at the Madison Holiday Market this year and invite you to my booth # 114 where I will be happy to show you my beautiful creations.

Some people describe me as an "angelic artist", others as a "visionary artist". My paintings come from an inner realm, either in meditation or just in the moment while I am painting. I will be showing angels and visionary paintings in watercolor and acrylic.

What a wonderful time to dwell in color and pick the perfect gifts for yourself and for loved ones. I invite you to browse my booth and choose from a wide selection of framed and unframed pieces of art in different sizes and for all budgets, for different tastes, be it for the wall or the side board, your desk or your kitchen table. On the left, you see "Angel of Hope".

As you can imagine, I am currently in intense preparations for the show and adding the final touches to this unique item for you. I created a new line of paintings that I call my "Art Heart Collection". They are precious original paintings painted onto heart shaped canvas that can be hung on your wall or in your Christmas tree or any space you would like to give this creative Touch of a Heart. See on the right "Golden Angel".

My paintings are cherished by many for their healing and inspirational qualities and can be found in corporate and private collections in Europe and in the United States.

In addition to my paintings, I will show my wearable art, unique, hand knitted accessories for today's Goddesses! They are beautiful, warm and one-of-a-kind. You will for sure not walk by unnoticed! I will show you my "Goddess wraps", "Goddess hats" and "Goddess mittens", for you to pick.

Please, visit my website www.EarthAngelProductions.com and my online gallery at www.Earthangelgallery.etsy.com for a preview of my creations.

I am looking forward to seeing you next weekend in Madison and to share my inspiring art with you!

Season of Sharing!

We are very excited to be a part of Madison Holiday Market this year. I love the holiday season, there is something magical about it. Let's not forget the wonderful foods, sharing gifts with family and friends, all the elements to make someone smile.

White Jasmine philosophy is all about creating and sharing with family and friends. It is about taking a moment to appreciate the special people in our lives and share a meal with them. What a blessing!

Hope you get a chance to enjoy the show and stop by White Jasmine booth to sample our fragrant spices. Our spice blends gift set with the instructional DVD with 5 shows is a perfect gift for anyone in your life who loves to cook or just starting to learn to use spices.
