The Red Lady would love to meet you!
Wow, after a fantastic turnout last night for February’s First Friday and the Tour de Chocolat’, the Main Gallery 404 owner, Lisa Lofgren, asked if I would mind showcasing my work in the front window with The Red Lady for another week? My response? ABSOLUTELY and THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
The Red Lady has a great view!
And she loves to wear jewelry…
So, there’s still time before Valentine’s Day to select something special for that someone special, which just might be you!
Here’s where you can find my jewelry in the Bloomington-Normal, IL area:
Main Gallery 404, Bloomington, IL
Four Swinging Hearts
Sunny Blue.
McLean County Arts Center, Bloomington, IL
So many rings!
My Etsy site is being tweaked and I’m almost ready to make the announcement when it’s LIVE!
Thank you for your continued support!

The Red Lady beckons from the front window of Main Gallery 404, where I just added tons of new jewelry, with a heavy accent on hearts, in honor of Valentine’s Day.
Who can resist the Red Lady?
When new owner, Lisa Lofgren, asked to feature my work in the window from now through February’s First Friday, I was honored and thrilled! Just in time for Valentine’s Day!
The Neighborhood Thrift Store generously let us borrow a beautiful art deco vanity (the one in the above photo) for the display. And, yes, it’s also for sale.
On February 1, 2013, Downtown Bloomington, IL also celebrates with its annual Tour de Chocolat’:
“An annual event and celebration of chocolate! Participating downtown businesses offer free samples of food containing chocolate.”
Uh, huh. Trust me, there is everything chocolate to sample. It’s a super fun way to spend an evening.
My jewelry is now in the window until 2-2-13.
Gallery hours are:
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: 12-5 PM
Saturday: 10 AM – 5 PM
Closed: Monday, Tuesday
