OMG I have always wanted to "do" a blog and I have to admit  I'm terrified...but...here goes!  My goal is to write something every day about my new life here in Florida and to introduce you to a new work of art here at Alchemy.


I have been here in Florida for three weeks now -- settling in and looking for a job.  I am loving it even with the sweltering heat and torrential daily downpours.  I realized the other day that I have become accustomed to the rain because now i just hike up my jeans,  pull off my sandals and run barefoot through the floods!  It's amazing how quickly the rain comes and goes.  Within a few minutes streets will flood and then within the same few minutes, dry completely as if   it never happened!


On the personal side of my life, my daughter, Jenna, is happily settling into her sophomore year at Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota and I'm thrilled for her.

I have moved into the Village of the Arts in Bradenton, Florida and I                                                                                             can't wait to open Alchemy this October!
