ClubHouse Chatter From the Purple Building...All Wrapped Up For You!

You asked, we listened! Due to your comments and suggestions, Eclectic Elegance has expanded our greeting card selection. We now have a wide range of styles and sentiments that will compliment any gift. So now you really can get all of your gift giving needs solved right in the Purple Building. If you want funny and crazy, may we suggest a MikWright greeting? Our Little Fish cards have inspirational and beautiful verses that match the stunning photographs on the cover of the card. Because we love to be "Eclectic", we have a lovely selection of hand made cards that you won't see anywhere else. So if you need to send someone a greeting, look no further than Eclectic Elegance.

We have been very busy this June sending graduation and Father's Day gifts ACROSS THE COUNTRY! There is a little Eclectic Elegance spread throughout the United States this month. Most of the arrangements have been customized based on our customer's request. Perfect! That is what we love to do here. Our web site can also show you some of our more popular styles that are ready to go. However, we can even tweak those baskets to fit your needs.

The ClubHouse is open this summer as we have two classes scheduled. Saturday, June 30 we will be hosting an all day crop for scrapbookers. You don't need any experience to join us for this day. Starting at 10am and running until 4pm, we will have the tables out and the creativity flowing! Come join us and share your memories and materials and crop, crop, crop. Breakfast snacks and a light lunch will be provided and the cost $15.00. Call 248-478-7220 today to reserve your spot.

Our local potter, Dave Albrecht will be teaching another children's ceramic class. Last summer's class was so successful we had to do this one again. This is a TWO part class: Wednesday, July 25 from 10am to 12 pm and Wednesday, August 1 from 10am to 12pm. The cost is $50.00 for the TWO part class and all materials will be supplied. During the first class, Dave will teach the kids the basics of ceramics and then let the young artists loose. The novice sculptors will be able to create their own coil and pinch pots and also do some free style artwork. During the second class the clay pieces will be glazed and given their final touches. Due to the nature of this class, we ask the child be at least 7 years old and a $20.00 non-refundable deposit is required when signing up for this class. Call 248-478-7220 today to reserve your child's spot.

This July 20-22 is the Farmington Founder's Festival and this year's theme is "Good Old Summertime Fun". There are a tremendous amount of fun activities planned throughout the city that weekend so make sure to partake! Please join Eclectic Elegance and our "Artisans Off The Avenue". We are so excited for this! We are going to have two large canopies in our parking lot and this will be the home for our local artists that are represented in our store all year long. You will be able to visit with the artists, purchase their pieces under the tents, and even watch as they demonstrate their craft. For example, Kathleen Spellman will be painting a masterpiece, Dave Albrecht will be creating artwork on the potter's wheel, and Whitney Schuck will give glass making demonstations (blow torch and all)! Shop the Purple Building Founder's weekend and make sure to visit the "Artistans Off The Avenue".

Summertime is "Busytime" here at Eclectic Elegance but that's how we like it. Please come on in and check out our new greeting cards, sign up for a ClubHouse class, and mark your calendars for Founder's Festival. We can't wait to see you!

Dana and Nancy
