THIS PAST WEEKEND IN ROME,GEORGIA--THE CHIAHA HARVEST FESTIVAL!!




What a FUN weekend!! The Chiaha Show was GREAT!! We got there on Friday, and set up, went back to the hotel, and relaxed--then went to a artist/patron get together...got up the next morning, and did the show..I actually painted the top picture in the hotel room on Friday night, and it sold on Saturday.

I won a Merit Award (Honorable Mention), and two purchase awards which was exciting! Our friends (and fellow artist ) Penny and her husband, Johnny were set up across from us, and our friends Paul and Bill were just two booths down. We sold A LOT--THANK YOU CHIAHA PEOPLE!!!! All in all, it was a PERFECT weekend. Well..except for my hurting back on Saturday, but..you know..stuff happens to us as we age and get older.

Well..have to get busy now--we will be in Mentone, Alabama again this weekend. I LOVE MENTONE!! We will be at the Nippersink Lodge for the home and gallery Tour! If you are nearby, please come out and see us!! You can get a map at The Mentone Hotel, and other local establishments. It should be a lot of FUN!!!!

Live Artfully!!
