The Art Work of Sheila Solberg



It's hard to believe that it has already been a week since David and I attended Riverfest. One of the amazing vendors we met there was Sheila Solberg, a window and glass painter. As you can see from these pictures posted here, she is a gifted artist. She does all the work herself out of her house... no store front, no website, yet. However, she can often be scene at fairs and other similar functions. She is a quiet lady bursting with talent, which is why I chose her to be the first vendor from the Riverfest to feature here. If you are interested in any of the artwork you see here or having her paint a special gift for you or someone you treasure, you can email her at Ourhousegifts@hotmail.com. I also have a phone number for her that I am not going to post publicly. If you want to reach her by phone, email one of us at Wrilogonzia@gmail.com or leave a comment with your email.

Enjoy....

Riverfest

We got a wonderful surprise when we stopped by this years annual Riverfest in Wilmington, NC. We had stopped going for many years because of lack of decent vendors. It had become a long succession of over-priced food vendors, poorly made over-priced chotski vendors and swarms of rude spectators. This year we were in downtown Wilmington, to stop into one of our favorite store, Down to Earth, and decided to see what was going on down on Water St. We were pleasantly surprised by the eclectic group of vendors, many of whom we will be visiting at their shops and bringing you more information about them.

Here are a few pictures:
