TIA Art Show Underway at Mallory Coach House

LIMG_0265ast weekend we opened our first exhibit in conjunction with the Mallorytown Strawberry Social to benefit the Coach House museum.

In short there was a wonderful crowd, great music, great short- cake and great weather! Here are a few snaps from that day. Pictured here is Gord Brown MPP Leeds Grenville, who was on site and popped in to view the show and sign our guest book.

On duty for the day, Paul Vincent greets visitors but also tries to steal away for a couple of minutes to score some strawberry shortcake out back. Textile painting by KitVincent to the left back of the picture.

Meanwhile out back, lots of activity with beautiful music supplied by a live band, Mature Content.
