Originals Available For Holiday Auction
One more sleep until The Handmade Holiday Auction with Stephanie Gagos begins!
Below are all the original paintings that I will have up for auction. I am also going to include the info that Stephanie Gagos has provided so you know how the auction works. She makes it all so much clearer than I could.
Love you all, and I hope to see you on my day!
FROM STEPHANIE GAGOS:
This is 14 day long handmade holiday auction with well over 300 items up for auction. The event may be longer than stated above since FB only allows you to schedule a 14 day event…we will most likely run into the 13th for our wrap party.
Artists include:
Donna Davies Timm, Marisol Diaz, Susan Strange, Elaine Flamholtz Schloss, Kara Strachan Bullock, Amber Bryce, Christina Miles, Sean Baker , Kristen Penrod , Sona Viola , Barbara Youngman, Jamie Baldwin Gaviola, Stacha Prazak Conboy, Suzy Madden, Natasha Wozniak, Jenny Wentworth, Kimberly Heil-Artist, Jennifer Bonneted ,Jennifer Albin, Robin Laws, Robin Mead, , Nikol Wikman, Marianne Velis Goodell, Maria Pace-Wynters (THAT’S ME ), Jodi Ohl
Each item will have a starting bid and a closing time as well as a shipping amount (please read the note on shipping below). Winning bid at the end of closing time wins the item. Please be aware that our clocks cannot possibly be in sync. Closing time is by my clock.
All times are EST. I will tag you when you win (if we are FB friends) Please note winner is by my clock and that clocks may vary.
Payment and shipping costs are to be sent to the artist’s Paypal account within a few hours in USD, no later than 24 hours. Please be prompt with payment and pay as soon as you know you’ve won. I will post the winner for each item with a blurb that describes where to send the payment.
Some items will have a Buy it Now Price, if a buy it now price is hit, bidder wins it regardless of current bids. Please be sure to read carefully. A BIN may be placed at any time unless someone has won the item already.
Items not bid on will be available at the starting bid or higher for the duration of the event. Look for anything that does not say sold. Occasionally we have a wrap party and include items that did not get snatched up.
Sometimes we allow anonymous bidding but cannot guarantee this option will be available.
Shipping: Items will be shipped within 3-5 days after the auction.
Shipping outside the U.S is at an additional cost, please contact the artist to get a quote.
SHIPPING INCLUDES SHIPPING AND HANDLING, NOT JUST POSTAGE. SOME ARTISTS ALSO INCLUDE INSURANCE.
Please contact the artist about shipping inquiries. I will not be able to assist with information about shipping. We cannot guarantee your item will arrive in time for the holidays.
Please feel free to comment on the pieces even if you are not placing a bid. The love and support at my auctions are part of what makes the process truly special. Thank you for being here!
If you would like to be tagged when certain pieces come up, please comment on the piece and say “Tag me” in the weeks before the auction.
Please only ask to be tagged if you intend on bidding.

“You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestation of your own blessings.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert
I love Elizabeth Gilbert. She changed my life. I read Eat, Pray, Love when I turned 40 and was inspired to start painting ‘for reals’. Her book and a lot of other things, just seemed to line up before me and make sense to my 40 year old brain. I know they say, “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear” … I was so ready and I am so grateful I had so many great teachers, Elizabeth being one of the best. If you haven’t read her new book, Big Magic, you should.
Other teachers I am grateful for? Julia Cameron, Eckhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra all played a significant role in making me believe I am an artist and to quieten the voices that would say otherwise.
Thank you.
I leave you with this:
Tea Leaves
This mixed media painting is 6″x24″ and will be available in the Handmade Holiday Auction with Stephanie Gagos Online Auction on Facebook.

TEA LEAVES
It’s not possible to see into the future. This is a good thing.
That said, I sure do waste a lot of time trying to predict it, change it … or just worry about it. Enough of that.
As I gaze into my cup of tea today, I will shut my eyes and enjoy the steam on my face. The warmth of the cup in my hand. The sweet smell. The taste.
I will not search the tea leaves for answers because that not only takes away the pleasure of the tea I am presently drinking, it may make my future tea taste bitter with resentment.

You must be completely awake in the present to enjoy the tea. Nhat Hanh
Little Bee
7.5″x5″ mixed media painting on paper. This one has a .25″ border and will need to be matted and framed by you.
This painting is available HERE
“I’m your other half. (…) I’ll carry your heartbeat in mine.”
― Jessica Verday
