Step Right Up!

ROADSIDE ATTRACTION will be opening soon!

Roadside Attraction is a Carnival of Creativity in Beautiful Belleair Bluffs, on the west coast of Florida...

Part Vintage/Retail Boutique, part Arts & Crafts Gallery, part hands-on Arts & Craft Studio & Lounge, Roadside Attraction welcomes All Who Dare Enter to Explore the Reaches of the Imagination!

Right now, the Peerless Pickers of Peculiar Products are treasure hunting near & far to bring you the coolest finds for jazzing up your own hacienda with one-of-a-kind prized possessions with fascinating stories all their own.

The Tipsy Gypsy is packing up her caravan of Glittery Goodies and making ready to move into her more permanent Gypsy Camp Craft Lounge in Roadside Attraction's mizzen quarters...

And the Expert Eye Classy Stash Arts & Crafts Jury of Seriously High Standards is rallying a bevy of hand-picked artists and craftspersons to supply the finest in handmade wares for the Gallery.

There's a lot going on...and it's going to be Fabulous Fun!

Stay tuned for more updates!

Ciao for now...

Art (Really!) IS Everywhere

If you find yourself up near the top of the world some time, check out Franconia, Minnesota’s Sculpture Park on Hwy. 95, just outside 

St Croix Falls.

Not that I was expecting to see only sled dogs and lumberjacks in those parts, but I’ll admit I was utterly delighted to visit such a vibrant, community-supported arts endeavor. 

By the time we passed through, the place was empty, save for a lone artist grinding away on some big project under a canopy at the back of the park. 

The whole place took on an eerie dimension as we explored the giant imaginative constructions in the twilight.

Many of the pieces brought to mind an apocalyptic "Mad Max" movie set.

The log tunnel was a groove in the ground. The painted purple ends reminded me of the colored chalk I used to draw with inside the buffet cupboard when I was a kid.
