December at the Gallery - shopping and socializing

Let's celebrate!    Winter is here and with it came the  much needed rains we have been waiting for.   I hope it does not keep the shoppers home, because sales in December were so good last year, we were hoping to meet that figure or even surpass it in our second holiday season at this location.    


The Small Works and Itty Bitty Mini Art Show is still hanging, at least most of it. There is also new artwork hung this month - and holiday decorations and gifts for sale.     Unique, handmade items by our members.   Check them out.  These are one of a kind items, so come shop early to pick your favorites.


Our annual holiday membership pot luck will be held at  2:30 Sunday afternoon,  December 14th.   Let me tell  you a secret.   Or maybe it was just a surprise for me.    Artists are really good cooks.  They are creative and like variety.  

The delicious dishes brought to the pot luck last year were all the finest - with rich warm enticing aromas.  My tip for the day - wear loose clothes, you will probably want to try everything on the table and go back for seconds as well.   

Why don't you cook up one of your specialties and come to the pot luck for a really sumptuous meal and a chance to socialize with other members.    

The dinner will be followed by a White Elephant swap.    You know the way these work?   Everyone brings a wrapped white elephant gift, maybe something they received as a gift but could not use.  You draw a number that brings you a prize, you can keep it, or swap for something someone else has.    It gets pretty funny.      

Bring some food and a white elephant gift and join the party!
