Another Ad Designed

Well today I designed the next ad for City Art Gallery. We are putting a nice ad in the Women for Women book. As well, I finished the ad yesterday for the next show at City Art Gallery; it's the Spring Fling on Thursday April 2nd. Our end of the Lynndale Shoppes is uniting for the second year in a row to bring you an outstanding evening of entertainment. We are having a painting demo by two gallery artists, Mike Rooney and Jaqueline Perry. Shown here is a new painting by Mike Rooney; view more of his works at City Art Gallery. Finelli's will host a wine tasting on the patio. There you will also be able to experience the light jazz keyboard sounds of Adam Sebti and Friends. Make your dinner reservation at Finelli's for the best Italian anywhere! Forget that you gave up carbs for Lent!! Bailey's will be kicking off their count down to Mother's Day sale. It's Sew Wright (our newest neighbor) will be featuring their new Spring Collection of fantastic "monogramable" items. Tammy Wright is the owner and she has remarkable products. If you haven't been in yet, take this opportunity. And to delight everyone, Whimsey will provide informal modeling throughout the evening. They have just opened a branch of their Washington boutique in our neighboring center, Arlington Village. While they are not part of the Lynndale Shoppes, Peg and Torrey invited them to particpate. They too are owned by two dynamic women...we all knew it was great to team together for a real Spring Fling on Thursday April 2, from 5:30 til 8:30! We'll send you a reminder e-vite closer to the time!
Have a great weekend,
Jeff

Thursday

Well, we found the lost painting and it has landed safely in the gallery. There happen to be 2 FedEx locations across the Tar River. Peg went to one and was told the package was at the other locale. She was given directions to leave the parking lot by hanging a left, take a right at the Hardee's on the corner, and another right at the Burger King a mile up Hwy 11 and another right into barbed wire fenced FedEx facility. She had to park in a remote locale, go to a gated entrance and ring for assistance, where she was given a code to enter after producing the tracking number and being certified as the "pick up agent"! Go FedEx...You take excellent care of your packages and we trust you even more now! Today was a busy day getting the invitation for the April 2nd Spring Fling wrapped up to go to the printer. I'm going to highlight one of our newer artists, Joyce Stratton. We recently started carrying this energetic painter as we truly believe in her work and confidenly added her to our fold.

Have a great day,

Whew Wednesday!

This Wednesday was more like a typical Monday. Temporary loss of a FedEx package with a fabulous commission which I think I've just located and am headed out across the great Tar River to retrieve! The image of the painting to the left is by one of our Dutch painters. Her name is Jose van Gool, and we stumbled upon her work in the Corning Gallery in the Steuben Glass building in NYC back in October. We have representing her ever since. This piece is titled "Breeze" and I just sent it out on approval through a designer to travel to New Bern. Here's hoping it will fit the space and please the client! Hope all of you fans had a good hump day and are headed home soon. Talk to you tomorrow.
Cheers!
Peg
