Around here….

I always like dropping by Harbor Rentals when my lawn mower is busted, partly 'cause they fix it so well, and mostly because Donna & Sheila are always smiling.

Let’s see what’s happening around here….

Stephanie with Adam in the restorative yoga class...

• Stephanie Hubber got Shantaya Yoga going the first of last year, and gave it a good go – she tells me that she’ll be closing up shop this week, though. This is sad for her & her instructors, as well as the foks for whom Shantaya became a regular part of their week.

In her last e-mail to folks, Stepanie says, “It’s been a wonderful ride and a lovely experience practicing and growing with all who have supported the studio over the months.  I look forward to a new chapter and embracing change as an ever-constant force.”

• Today’s Carolee Maya‘s 70th – happy birthday!

• Marita at the IMA says they’re looking for new art for the park:

Call for Sculptors: San Juan Islands Museum of Art (IMA) and Sculpture Park is seeking submissions of large, outdoor sculptures for the IMA Sculpture Park at Roche Harbor. The IMA Sculpture Park is a major Northwest art destination, located on over 19 acres in the San Juan Islands, adjacent to the Roche Harbor Community on the shores of Westcott Bay. The Park received over 25,000 visitors in 2009, and sold over $50,000 of sculpture during the last three months of the year. With new plans for the IMA Sculpture Park, the Park plans to quadruple this amount in 2010, and the artist’s commission has been increased to 70%!

Sculptors may submit up to three submissions by April 30, 2010. A non-refundable entry fee of $20 is required, covering up to three submissions. Early submissions are encouraged. The deadline for installation of accepted work is June 15, 2010. Entry forms and further details are available at www.sjima.org.

Silver duck: I have some leftovers at Haley's the other day, so Sarah wrapped 'em up to go - lookin' good!
