Welcome to my little space up in the cloud and thank you for visiting!!   I'm an incurable creative who simply loves to make things.   After spending almost thirty years running a coffeehouse and then a farm bakery,  I have stepped away from the foodservice madness to create at home. 

 The best days are those spent in the art studio...or kitchen...or workshop...or garden.  Whenever possible I try to use materials that might otherwise end up in the landfill.... papers, cardboard, fabric, wood - whatever can be repurposed or reimagined.  Much of my art is made with paper, paint and glue, but I also dabble in ceramics, block printing and sewing.  So many possibilities, so little time!

When I'm not at home you might find me searching for treasures in thrift shops, estate sales or old barns...bringing old treasures back into the light.    My artwork - and a selection of vintage and antique hosuewares - is on display (and for sale) at Salmon Brook Antique Shops in Granby, Ct.  Visit my petite boutique there,  see what's new on Instagram or in Facebook ... or send me a note  - MyConnecticutKitchen@gmail.com  .  

Some pictures from the archives....an update is overdue.
