~Tucked in a valley, at the foot of Round Mountain, among the graceful Maples & Oaks you will find our Little Brown House. Smoke billows from the chimney 7 months out of the year, a river rambles nearby, sheep & Cows graze in the meadows and turkey's forage along the olde stone walls. Here you will find me...surrounded by wool & cotton threads, hoops & needles on my lap & sketchpads scattered about.~ This is Vermont Harvest Folk Art.
