Just last week one of our current artists, Charmaine Austin stopped by to refresh her display at the store.  WOW!  As if her artistic hand painted eggs and painting with feathers from her own chickens were not cool enough, she continues to inspire us with both her creativity and her ability to build dynamic and interesting decore from recycled materials.  As shown above, you just cannot beat these nautical themed decorations fashioned form oars, sea weed, paint brushes, and shells.  And besides, our pictures simply can not do them justice.  Stop by the village and see these great new projects by Charmaine while they are still available, and keep your eyes pealed for whatever wonderful creations she stops by with next!

We enjoyed another wonderful artwalk during last weeks Second Saturday as lots of new folks came out to check out art displays and new participants at Encore Home Furnishings and Art and Slocum House.  Momentum has continued to build as we look forward to adding even more venues next month to display art as well as provide other services, entertainment, or just to remain open for visitors to have even more to see and to enjoy.  Congratulations to Charmaine Austin who is the winner the 2nd Saturday drawing.  Charmain visited 5 of our 7 locations open in the Fair Oaks Village during Second Saturday and won a professional photography sitting with local photographer Michael Taylor.  Stay tuned for next month when we look forward to adding even more partners in the Fair Oaks Village for Second Saturday festivities.  Have a favorite business in the village?  Be sure to tell them to stay open for Second Saturday and come on down for a visit.  A wonderful night of art, entertainment, community and good free fun!Thank you to all who came out, and to Michael Taylor for donating his professional photography services.
