First Sunday with Kelly Johnson

First Sunday with Kelly Johnson!

June's First Sunday with Kelly Buntin Johnson was lots of fun! She introduced us to a new collection of her Blessed Mother necklaces. They are most fabulous and we purchased several for the store. She has taken her charms and tags and combined them with beautiful rare vintage African and European beads to create the most beautiful artisan necklaces. Another surprise was how Kelly is pairing her hand beaded crosses with her charms and Milagros with these same beads. In addition to the Blessed Mother collection, we have added a great peregrination (heart tokens) necklace to the store. You will find several of Kelly's original pieces on-line and several more in the week to come. Also, remember every First Sunday you will discover Kelly's (and husband Rhett's) new creations!

Second Saturday with Robin VanHoozer/New Arrivals

April Second Saturday was a day of fun and enrichment!!!

Missouri Bluffs was proud to continue its devotion to local art by hosting an art showing for regionally and nationally exhibited artist, Robin VanHoozer. Robin’s work has been featured on the ABC television show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and her work is currently on display in the office of Senator Claire McCaskill in Washington, D.C. Encaustic paint is Robin’s primary medium, however, she also works in oil and mixed media. Her studio is located in the historic Museum Hill District of St. Joseph.

Our April "First Sunday" Event with Kelly Buntin Johnson was lots of Fun. Kelly has created 2 new "Holy Spirit" tags and charms. They are just in time for Easter. She had several fun Bunny pieces that would be terrific for any bunny lovers. You can find a selection of Kelly's Easter tags, charms and ornaments on our online store. We were honored to make the acquaintance of Kelly "Resurrected Lovey", a vintage bunny adorned with one of Kelly's peep tag necklaces.

Kelly brought husband Rhett's beautiful vintage bird tags and ornaments. If you like birds you will love these art pieces! Stop by and check out our large selection of Kelly and Rhett's treasures. Remember that every first Sunday of the month Kelly will be in as our artist in residence. She will surprise us with new additions of original beaded pieces and new images for tags/charms.
