We are so very excited and honored to have an open house for Kathleen Spellman this Friday, October 26th. Kathleen is a Farmington artist who paints absolutely stunning watercolors. We have her work in Eclectic Elegance all year round and she participated in our Artisans Off The Avenue during Founder's Festival. Beginning at 7:30 p.m. this Friday, you can meet Kathleen while viewing all of her artwork. She will unveil ten new original watercolor paintings! It is going to be a great, intimate evening of food, drink, conversation, and art.
Hot off the press! Mark your calendars for two special events taking place in downtown Farmington during the holidays. On Friday, November 30th, downtown Farmington merchants will be open until 9:00 p.m. to make your holiday shopping easy and convenient. Join us for our first annual "Glow" event. Farmington restaurants, salons, and gift shops will have special events throughout the evening. Eclectic Elegance will have Scott Seegert, a local author, signing his book "It's A Guy Thing". Tim Spellman will also be here drawing his one of a kind caricatures of you and/or your family! Pages, Cedar Grill, and Cowleys will offer specials before and during the event so you don't go hungry. Carolers will be strolling the streets to entertain you with their holiday sounds. The streets of Farmington will be aGLOW with holiday lights. "Glow" is a great way to kick off the holidays while enjoying downtown Farmington.
After visiting Farmington in the evening, come back the very next day, Saturday, December 1st for Holly Day. Farmington will be bustling with LIVE reindeer, vendors, and a few folks from the North Pole. Merchants at the Pavilion will be selling holiday greens: roping, wreaths, and trees. Chestnuts will be roasting, carolers will be singing, and Santa's belly will be shaking! Eclectic Elegance is hosting an open house that Saturday so come on in to the Purple Building for holiday treats and specials!
Remember, we have three classes during the month of November. On Saturday, November 3rd from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., we will have our Holiday Gift Tag class. This is a wonderful way to personalize all of your holiday gifts. We will be creating beautiful one of a kind tags and cards. All materials will be supplied and the cost of the class is $25.00. If you can cut paper with a pair of scissors then you will have a great time at this class! (Honest!)
Kathleen Spellman will teach you the basics of watercolors on Saturday, November 10th. This four hour class begins at 10:00 a.m. and all materials will be supplied. Was your last painting experience in kindergarden with finger paints or when you painted the living room? Perhaps you have dabbled in actual watercolors and need just a little reminder. No matter your experience, this class is for you. Don't be afraid, join us for a great class.
And back by popular demand... Heidi Cook from Liberty Street Gardens will be here for a fall outdoor container class on Thursday, November 15th. Bring a pot suitable for the Michigan outdoors and less than 12" in diameter. Heidi will supply the rest. As the entertaining season approaches, this is a great way to decorate your entrance way to welcome your guests. Your arrangement will last throughout December and be a perfect way to make your home look festive.
SAGE advice: The SECOND mouse gets the cheese.
This week's Blog special: Halloween merchandise is 10% off the marked price.
Have a great week. We hope to see you this Friday at Kathleen's reception. Don't forget the Farmer's Market is held every Saturday in October at the Pavilion. Pick up your pumpkins after you visit your favorite Purple Building in downtown Farmington.
Dana and Nancy
