On the Road with Cape Ann Designs!

My husband and I just completed our 3rd “road trip” to Florida to visit family in Naples for the holidays.   As challenging as it is to drive nearly 4000 miles over 2.5 weeks, it was equally rewarding!   We enjoyed visiting friends along the way and back.   It was also a chance to spread some “sea glass love” and find new outlets for my work.   Among the most exciting new venues is the lovely gallery called Things I Like by Catherine in the up-and-coming Bayshore Arts District – just across the street from the renowned Naples Botanical Gardens where I was fortunate to view the Johnsonville Lights event this year for the first time!   If you are heading south or already there, please visit Catherine in her gallery or pop into the Naples Art Institute Gift shop to see a variety of pieces from my collection.  I feel particularly fortunate that Catherine has long hair and was able to truly appreciate the importance of an artful and functional barrette!

All the pieces are one-of-a-kind so I am thrilled to have more selection in one of my favorite cities!   Keep an eye out for Catherine’s events and support the arts in this lovely part of town!   Enjoy these photos from the Botanical Gardens and inside Catherine’s gallery!

Overheard

Hi Jackie,

Just thought I would share my experience yesterday of walking into the Classic Touch gallery in Medfield, MA yesterday. Your work was prominently displayed as I walked in the door, I was captured immediately!! The colors and combinations were great, and  I have always been drawn to sea glass, shells and stones (I realize that you don't use stones, but the sea glass also has the look of smooth riverbed pebbles)

So, of course, I selected the piece that spoke to me the loudest in soft greens, cream, browns and a bit of pottery. It's designed as a pin, but both the owner of the gallery and I both thought it would be stunning worn vertically on a string of seed pearls or hanging from a "V" shaped silver choker, which she had….it looked stunning!!!  Atleast that's another wonderful option for your unique work.

Thank you for creating such beautiful art and sharing it with others. I will do the same as I wear it 🙂
