ZINNIA - Your Space For Contagious Creativity

Oy the time change. I don't mind it because I always feel tired on my lazy Sundays, I'm just tired earlier and with the sun out. I'll be over it by the end of the week.

I went to Target today to check out the "Liberty of London" that Tamara was talking about in the previous post. Most of it didn't really appeal to me however there are a few summer blouses with cool prints that I might come back for later. When I went to check-out I ended up behind a woman who had a cart full of stuff. It was ALL Liberty of London stuff. She must be a fan or opening her own store. Dresses, shirts, coats, totes, baskets and mugs; five freaking hundred dollars worth. I wanted to ask her if she was a fan but she didn't speak English. I checked out every piece as it went by and checked the price. Humm, $24 for a shirt, I can do that. $4 for a mug? Not my cup of tea (snort ha ha).

Have you stopped by the store lately? We have been adding artwork to the "Gallery" space. We have concentrated all ART in that space. Artwork from local artists has been featured for a few years like; Paul Murray, Joe Carrion, Tyn Atol, Tamara and myself, We also have art work from Shari Enge, Kari Atol & Angela Cartwright. If you haven't already , stop by and take a peek.

This a picture of some of Angela's work. Her work is so beautiful
and she is a delightful person, it's nice to have her work at the store.

I sure hope this lovely weather is here for a few days. Although it could be warmer. Come on summer... I am already making my plans for my Sundays at the beach working on tanning. Yes, I know the sun is baaaad. I'll wear my SPF 1000 and a giant hat. I am mostly interested in tanning my limbs. That sounds weird but it's true. Beside let's hear it for Vitamin D and all its benefits. Yeah.
