The Top Ten Things We Like About the Circle of Art
10) A Tent. Nothing says a party like a big fancy tent. We had a great one graciously donated by the folks at Deluxe Tent.
9) Art in the Mail Box. Getting a big envelope with colorful hand lettering makes getting the mail a big treat.
8) Wonton Cups. They revolutionized our food presentation - thanks to Nic at Skip to my Roux for her great advice.
7) A Big Clean Up. Every shop should throw a big party once a year to trigger a major swamp out. Volunteers Val, Kathy, Jim, Karl, Rosemary, Leslie and John sorted, swamped and swept.
6) Kathy Rhadigan's Signs. Kathy's amazing. Put a marker or piece of chalk in her hand and stand back. Carrots and spirals and pithy phrases transformed Saline Picture Frame. A true artist.
5) A String Quartet. We asked the folks Shar Music if they could provide us with a strolling violinist, but we ended up with a quartet because so many people wanted to help!
4) 480 Little Pictures All in One Place. Wow. It was incredible to see the variety of art that lined the walls and tables at Saline Picture Frame. From botanical studies to felted bags - rich pastels and hammered silver hoops. A walking stick. Food tiles. Carved mice. Hand-bound books. Lego pictures and beaded carrots. Simply incredible!
3) Food Gatherers. Good people doing important work well. We are proud to partner up with them.
2) $18,527. Yeah! The amount of money Circle of Art 2007 raised for Food Gatherers. Thank you each and every one.
1) Community. It's the circle. It's all of us. It's grand. Thanks.
