Cassiopeia: Art through items lost then found

05/24/2026

Thank you to everyone who came out this weekend for the Brimfield North Flea Market at Hopkinton Fairgrounds. Even with the rainy weather today, so many of you showed up to support the vendors and made the entire weekend feel incredibly special.

I’m so grateful that 38 pieces of artwork found new homes, but even more meaningful were the conversations, connections, stories, and nostalgia shared throughout the weekend. From talking mineral collecting, and mineral clubs, to hearing memories sparked by vintage pieces in my space, there were so many moments that reminded me why I love doing this.

One of the best parts was reconnecting with people I haven’t seen in years and spending time with fellow vendors. I truly feel part of this community, whether it’s alongside artisans at markets or vintage dealers at flea markets. My artwork feels like a bridge between those two worlds, and I’m deeply grateful for the people in both.

I am also incredibly grateful for those thoughtful amazing people who walk around the flea market and purchase items that they believe will be amazing in a piece of artwork. It is so fun having people return to my booth with trinkets they are excited for me to use.

A huge thank you to Brimfield Antique Shows for organizing such an amazing event, especially bringing it to a brand new location with so many unknowns. And thank you to Hopkinton Fairgrounds for hosting all of us this weekend.

And, to top it all off, I even got another giant fruit selfie. Back in April it was a giant blueberry, and this weekend it was a giant lemon. Life really doesn’t get much better than that.

From Where It Was Found: The Journey Behind the Artwork

I will be sharing a short series meant to pull back the curtain and share what’s behind each piece of artwork you see here or at the markets. My intention is to introduce or re-introduce the materials, the places they came from, and the journeys they’ve taken before becoming part of something new.

Each piece is more than just a beautiful combination of materials.

Every post will offer a glimpse into the hidden stories behind the glass, wood, sand, and found objects — not just as materials, but as pieces of history and travel.

It is also meant to reflect the many hours, miles, care, creativity, monies spent and effort that go into each piece, including the physical work and occasional challenges that come with gathering and transforming these materials.

I’m also always in search of new locations to continue this work, whether it’s places to responsibly collect broken glass, a riverbend known for beautiful driftwood, or a hidden stretch of shoreline where the sand feels a little more special.

Most importantly, this series is a way of truly appreciating everyone who has given a home to a piece of artwork, taken the time to stop and talk with me about my work, or follows this page and offers ongoing support, encouragement, and validation.

You are also part of the journey!

Thank you to everyone who came out to Squam Lake this weekend. Whether you stopped by to chat, shared kind words about my work, or took a piece home with you, I truly appreciate your support. These shows mean so much, and it is always special to connect with both familiar faces and new ones.

A special thank you to Cottage Place at Squam Lake for hosting such a beautiful event and creating a space for all of us to gather.

Next up, I will be at the Brimfield North Flea Market at the Hopkinton Fairgrounds in New Hampshire in just three weeks. If you are up for another adventure, I would love to see you there.

Feeling incredibly grateful after such a great weekend in Milford at the New England Spring Craft & Artisan Show. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, supported my work, shared kind words, and took the time to connect. Those conversations mean just as much as the sales.

It was also so good to spend time alongside such talented artisans. The creativity, support, and community at these shows is something special and never taken for granted.

Already looking forward to the next one. I’ll be at SquamFest in Holderness, New Hampshire in two weeks right on Route 3. Hope to see some familiar faces and meet a few new ones too.

Who knew garden gnomes had such strong opinions about life? This mixed media piece plays on the classic see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, gnome edition. Though honestly, they might just be minding their business and staying out of the drama 🌿

The sun above them is a vintage glass piece from an old chandelier, still sparkling like it has stories to tell. All the surrounding glass was collected from Sugar Hill, New Hampshire, little treasures that have been given a second life in a much more whimsical world.

A little sass, a little sunshine, and three gnomes reminding us that sometimes it is perfectly okay to not see it, not hear it, and definitely not repeat it.

Available at the New England Spring Craft & Artisan Show in Milford, NH next weekend!!
