StaC Peterson of StormFlight Designs creates handcrafted jewelry utilizing traditional silversmithing techniques and tools. Her designs are classic with an upbeat feel and incorporate genuine gemstones, lampwork glass, and leather. Peterson describes the exploration and process of her favorite mediums; fine metals and gemstones:
[S]ince taking classes at a cozy little art school in the hills of Georgia, I have been perfecting my skills in stone cutting, chain making and metal-smithing, and have found the metals I love working with; primarily silver and copper. I started with classes on gemstone facetting and silver-smithing. Now I go every summer and add to my skills: enameling, casting, chasing & repousse’, etc. …you will see these skills reflected in my work.
Peterson’s skills create a diverse tapestry of texture, line, and form. The joy the artist has for her craft is apparent when admiring StormFlight Designs handcrafted jewelry.

Due to weather Mustang Day will be postponed this weekend. Aircraft is based at a grass strip in NY and conditions are causing the field to be too wet. I will let you know once the date gets rescheduled. Talk soon,
The Mustang was among the best and most well-known fighters used by the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. Possessing excellent range and maneuverability, the P-51 operated primarily as a long-range escort fighter and also as a ground attack fighter-bomber. The Mustang served in nearly every combat zone during WWII, and later fought in the Korean War. On May 3rd Sponsored by the OLD EAGLES and celebrated by the EAA Chapter 240 we will have one of these magnificent flying machines on our ramp. Come out and visit with us at New Garden Flying Field to see this Historical National Artifact. Open to the public. 9am-2pm (NO ADDMISSION FEE)

Gardeners can choose from a superb selection of low-maintenance, beautiful plants at the Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art's Wildflower, Native Plant and Seed Sale, May 10 and 11, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. This annual event offers a wide variety of regional plants and seeds-many not available in retail garden centers--which are great for all types of gardens--sunny, shady, damp or dry.
Native plants are a great way to "go green" because they are adapted to local growing conditions and require less water and maintenance. Many varieties attract songbirds, hummingbirds and butterflies and help strengthen the local ecosystem. Conservancy staff and volunteers will be available to answer questions, help in the selection of plants and provide planting instructions.
Plant-lovers can also purchase wildflower seeds that have been collected from the Conservancy's own gardens and meadows, then cleaned and packaged by garden volunteers.
