Carla, immersed in art....
People are doing some interesting things…
• The Flea Market & Craft Fair is at the Fairgrounds this morning – hope to see you there!
Among the zillions of folks you’ll see, Carla MacDiarmid (right) is selling her paintings (here’s her site, to give you an idea of her style)…she’s be moving off island next week, so it’s a good chance to go say goodbye, too….
• The Animal Shelter’s new office in town opens this weekend – here’s more from Leslie:
Come by and check out the new “Island Tails” store on the upper level of Cannery Landing. It is a satellite store for the Friday Harbor Animal Shelter. We have a nice variety of gifts for dog and cat lovers as well as serving as an information hub for what’s happening at the shelter. Our Open House is Sat Dec 11th at noon – 4pm. Our regular hours will be Wed – Sun 10am – 5pm.
• The Duotones are playing at The Rumor Mill tonight – that’s Mike Adams & Bob Leytze – see ya there!
• The Backdoor Kitchen‘s last two weekends – this weekend & next! Last chance!
And…next Monday (the 13th) is the last Noodle Bowl Monday!
• One of my favorite places to drop by & see interesting stuff is Funk & Junk over on Nichols Street.
The boots, after Annie painted 'em...cool.
Mike & Annie have all kinds of stuff, & Funk & Junk is full of amazingly wonderful vintage things for Christmas, including Annie’s Christmas Commission Project…here’s more about that:
What is the Christmas Commission Project? Bring in a favorite photgraph, of ANYTHING and I will paint an 8 x 10″ oil painting of it, for $200. So far I’ve done a barn, a couple walking down a road, cowboy boots, an airplane and even a portrait of blues great Muddy Waters. The project is open until Dec 21st.
• Looks like we have another baby – The Center for Whale Research’s Dave Ellifrit shot a picture of L117 on the sixth – here’s the pictures, from the Orca Network site (scroll down.)
• Making sure that animals haven’t been abused by testing for your Christmas presents is important. Make sure you keep your eyes open:
