Calusa Studio Open House & Studio Tour


Calusa Studio
Open House & Studio Tour

Wednesday, June 2nd, 4:00-8:00pm
155 Liberty Street NE Ste B8, Salem 97301

Drop by my new studio for hors d'ouvres & wine and get a peek at the studio & some of my latest projects.

Tucked away in a cozy nook in the basement of the Salem Arts Building I've been designing my artisan jewelry.  We've painted, plumbed, planked & poured our energy into creating a space to enjoy friends, experience art & light a torch.  We're ready to share it with you!

  • Bittersweet Baking will be catering the delicious cakes, cookies, tarts & other wonderful treats that are as beautiful as they are delicious.
  • Trinity Vineyards is a wonderful, family-owned boutique vineyard in Salem with award winning wines.  Haven't tried them, yet?  We will be serving Trinity wines at the open house!

Honeybee Boutique Event - Thank you for supporting local artists!

We had a fantastic turnout at the Honeybee Boutique sale.  Thanks to everyone for coming out to support Salem's local artists.  I had planned on doing a drawing for a $50 gift certificate for Calusa Studio, but I was so excited with the turnout to the event and meeting so many fun people that I decided to do three drawings; the original $50 certificate, a $25 certificate and a $10 certificate.  Congratulations to Cesie, Deb & Heidi!!!  I hope to see everyone at the open house & studio tour in June.

Relay For Life - Spring Tea Event

J3UZW95K9SQH
Our Relay for Life Team, Casadays' and Friends, held the Third Annual Spring Tea on Sunday, April 18th to raise money for the American Cancer Society.   There were several local businesses that donated items for the silent auction - between ticket sales for the tea and silent auction bids we raised over $2,300!  Salem has a great community - thanks for your support!

I was very happy for the opportunity to donate one of my pieces to the auction.  I chose an earring & necklace set that had delicious baubbles of pink, green & black tourmaline dancing on the ends of silver twigs.  It's a very happy and springy piece - perfect for Relay For Life!
