I took a walk around the shop and snapped a few shots for you........

We have so many wonderful items waiting for you with more coming all the time ... We look forward to seeing you!

Sometimes, something makes us take pause and reminds us of how good life is and how wondrous our surroundings.  Pause often...

Life is a great big canvas and you should throw all the paint on it you can…

May is the beginning of our next fundraiser….something near and dear to us.  One of our members, Carrie, has a very rare incurable lung disease called  lymphangioleiomyomatosis; or LAM for short.  There are only 1500 people worldwide known to have this progressive disease and all of them women in their childbearing years.  As the disease progresses the lungs deteriorate until a transplant is needed.  Funding has been reduced drastically and in an attempt to help raise funds for research, The Wade Creek House and hundreds of others across the country, are sponsoring a fundraiser called “Chairs for Charity.”  Here chairs are created by local artists and individuals and donated for a silent auction.  These chairs will be on display at The Wade Creek House beginning May 17^th with the silent auction June 1^st.  If you would care to donate a chair you created, give us a call at 503-630-7556.  This is a tax deductible donation and all money raised from this auction will be donated to the LAM Foundation.  Please join Carrie and the rest of the members on June 1^st for our silent auction… music and refreshments will make this a wonderful day.

Other things happening this month include:

May 4 -  Twisted Twig Obelisk Trellis

May 8 -  Gathering of UFO's (unfinished objects class)

May 11 - Beginning Concrete Leaf Casting Workshop

May 17 - Viewing begins for "Chairs for Charity" and will continue until June 1st.
