Merry December! After many attempts, Barbara and I finally found a way to sell our hand-made LOVE Albums individually in all their glow! We have opened up a store on the internet and can sell them to anywhere in the world -
www. thespinningleaves. etsy. com
Each one is individually decorated by The Spinning Leaves (b and me) - in editions - and the covers showcase everything from collages of old pictures and magazines to paint and stencils to buttons to actual leaves and twigs. Barbara and I conceived, dreamed, wrote, felt, recorded, mixed, produced, performed, and manufactured these CDs. And we take great joy in that we can send them straight from our doorstep to yours. They make a great unique gift fo sho.
I have also listed in the store some acorn necklaces I made with acorns from New Hampshire. For the Christmas squirrel in you.
Love to you, Michael Michael Mc Baker Shake
