FALL-ING FOR AUTUMN



In and around Three Oaks
we're fall-ing for autumn ... 
amber waves of grain,
palettes of red and gold ... 
meandering country roads
dappled with the beauty of autumn.








while you're out
"smelling the roses"
and after your drive thru the country ...
stop on by 
and see what's new here

at
BLAIS RUSTIC CHIC

we're fall-ing for autumn

Local artist Deb Henderson's new work @ • blais • rustic chic...


Stop by • blais • rustic chic to see what
Michigan City artist Deb Henderson
has been up to lately...

 
"Penelope was disappointed with the response
to her personal ad" is our favorite
new work by Deb.  Come see just
what kind of mangy characters responded
to Penelope's ad.



Penelope might not have a thing for crows,
but Deb does...


Here's one she did for our barn



When Deb saw our Maggie & Lulu
chase the local wildlife she
came up with this...





From her new series of musicians on
canvas dropcloths...




We're still carrying her "birds of Michigan" series




Deb does amazing murals.
Here's some detail from the ones
she did for the guest quarters
in our barn



and deb has a message for all of us for getting by 
in these turbulent times...

WHEN YOU'VE GOT IT, FLAUNT IT ...

Blais is thrilled to be featuring the art of Sara Spanjers.  Sara puts a lifetime of artistic and professional experience into her artwork. 

 Sara was born and raised in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and currently lives in Tucson Arizona. 

 Her work embraces the Southwest, but her Midwestern roots are an evident influence in her art. Her pieces explore multiple subject matters through mixed media found object collages.  The essence of her art will capture your heart.

  







repurposed, renewed and redesigned with you in mind!

when you've got it, flaunt it!
