NEW STUFF!

Joan Van Houten’s Leave A Lily®
To Leave A Lily® means to make a positive difference in someone’s life – yours, ours, everyone’s. Joan is a writer and artist with a dream to see Leave A Lily become a well known phrase that means…To brighten someone’s day, make the rough path smooth, make the world more loving. Leave A Lily® products are designed to help make that happen through conscious living and affirming the Oneness of all.
Lily is a loving sprite, part human/part flower, whose sole purpose is to remind the world that Joy is the preferred mode of travel as we climb the ladder to higher consciousness. Loving thoughts and purposeful living are powerful ways to change the world.
Joan is also a trained spiritual/energy healer currently living in Southwest Michigan. She has plans to move to the Southwestern U.S. in the early months of 2011 where she has been invited to facilitate healing for retreat participants in a series of retreats scheduled for the late winter and early spring months in Sedona, AZ.
A portion of the proceeds from every Leave A Lily® sale are gifted to the Humane Society of the United States because animals are a gift to humanity.
More work by Joan includes Bag o' Blessings, Dream Journal, 100 Days of Gratitude Journal, Mini Gratitude Journal, Affirmation Cards, and Life’s Little Treasure Trunk.
Thanks, Joan for sharing your work at Spirit Dreams!

Kathy Stanton’s Cards, Jounals, Pendants and House Charms
Kathy’s education is in art and design. Her passion for art and design began in high school and is still strong today. Her design education was at the College of Design, Architecture, and Art at the University of Cincinnati. In recent years Kathy has been trained as a healer, practicing Reiki and Spiritual Healing with Healing in America.
Kathy’s art takes several forms – oil painting, digital imagery created from digital images shot in nature, and multi-media pieces that include jewelry, house charms, and clocks made from reused materials. Her digital images attempt to find the beauty in the world around us and take the form of prints, note cards, calendars, and more. Her jewelry made from stones and other natural materials, is designed to bring us closer to the earth as it is worn close to the heart. House charms are jewelry for the home and are intended to help enhance the chi in our homes.
She is part owner of Saugatuck Artists Collective a gallery downtown Saugatuck and works out of her working studio, Stantall Studio in Fennville. We are thrilled to have her work at Spirit Dreams!

Rebecca Hendershott, Jeweler
Beckett Studio
GRebecca’s jewelry is caringly hand-crafted with consciousness by her loving hands, heart, and soul to awaken its powerful quality. Rebecca also performs sacred healing sessions using energy and sound and the pure intention and light she pours into the amulets offer the same opportunity for feelings of inner peace and balance.
The Chakra and Spiritual collection is Rebecca’s purest expression of a universal message. This collection honors the timeless wisdom of the ancient traditions. These amulets are imbued with the power inherent in traditions where there is no separation between pure spirituality and the act of creation. By wearing these amulets, that power offers the opportunity for inspiration and support for one’s journey through life.
Spirit Dreams is carrying the set of 7 Silver Chakra Amulets. Each of the handcrafted fine silver pendants is complete with the Sanskrit symbols representing each Chakra. The silver medallions can be worn on a chain, and have the representative gemstone imbedded in the middle of the Sanskrit design. Each symbol represents a corresponding chakra or ‘wheel’ of energy within the human body. When these are in alignment we feel balanced. Wearing the symbol can remind us of our own personal intentions for balance within. Each amulet comes with its own informational card outlining the chakra and its corresponding attributes.

Artists’ Meet and Greet continues on Saturdays
Saturday, August 14, 1 to 4pm
Colleen Bess, Artist
Colleen discovered her love for mosaics during chemotherapy treatment for cancer over five years ago. She found that working on her craft reduced stress during that period of her life. She developed her skills with the assistance of her dear friend and mentor Judy Mendel of Dacula, Georgia. She began creating mosaic frogs in 2008.
She uses a vast variety of old china, pottery pieces, old and new buttons and stained glass all secured by matching colors of grout. Each frog is given an unique name, often a reflection of the inspiration that led to its creation. No two frogs are the same. Naming the frogs seems to bring them to life and gives each its own identity. Colleen has expanded her work with mosaics to include candle holders, picture frames, mirrors, wall plaques and pendants. Colleen's father-in-law, Ken Bess, who creates spectacular wooden bowls for SPIRIT DREAMS, cuts the frogs shapes from MFP board. Her sister-in-law is Jackie Bess, SPIRIT DREAMS co-owner. Colleen lives in Portland, Michigan.
Saturday, September 11, 1 to 4pm
