I had made several sightings around Flickr and Etsy and finally today took the time to investigate the talented folks behind all the magic! I'm writing this Sunday night-anticipating a two-day car ride with my best friend and her kids tomorrow....jingle all the way to Indianapolis! Wish us luck and safety! So- in my haste to get my packing done...I'm afraid I don't have the time I'd like to devote to the enchanting Beerhorst Family...so here is all their info and in their own words:
We are an artist family of eight working in various media, painting, wood cut prints, textile arts, and soft sculptures. We are urban homesteading in downtown Grand Rapids Michigan with back yard chickens and a large organic garden. We support ourselves entirely by the art we make and sell, parents and children working together. Visit us at {website} {blog}, {Flickr} {Etsy} Please Enjoy and See you back here Wednesday! xo

Truly amazing! I am in love with "self portrait with pincushion." :)
I love stuff like this! Makes my stomach all butterflies and happiness!
Wow - so creative! I love the hooked rugs.
Love the gypsy caravan! And Katie, if you cross the border into IL, let me know!! I'll bring you some warm Christmas Cheer!
I discovered the Beerhorst family first through the Craftsanity podcast a few months ago. You *must* see the video of their Wonder Wagon:
