Crosstie Arts and Jazz Preview

The Secret Lives of Trees will be traveling to Cleveland MS this weekend for Crosstie Arts . This is our favorite event of the Spring show season. Not only is the show itself well attended but the staff is enthusiastic and you can't help but catch at little of the delta fever. The show kicks off Friday night with the patron party and silent auction. Food music and fun, as the artists rub elbows. Then Saturday bright and early tents are popping up filled with some of the finest artwork in the southeast. Hope ya'll can drop in

We visited Taylor's Plein Air Community on Saturday and bumped into the Gestalt Gardener himself Mr. Felder (stick it in the dirt) Rushing (right) http://www.felderrushing.net/ from MPB fame

We built a strange stick structure know as the leaning tower of trellis. Felder suggested we set fire to it and have a burning man festival out here in Houlka Mississippi. If inspiration and pyromania hits you'll be the first to know!

And.. One of our pieces were featured this week in an article on sustainable decorating on Etsy.com's Storque. Check it out at: http://www.etsy.com/storque/spotlight/etsy-finds-decor-sustainable-homes-4564/

Much Love to you all,

Bellhaven Market

We had a great Saturday at the Market in Bellhaven this past weekend (Jul 18th) We met many lovers of trees and sent a few pieces to new homes. By far the belle of our ball was our new twig window shelf. (right) Its curves and forked green cedar branches support three shelves of cedar planks.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the arts in Mississippi!

We'll see ya'll soon,
