We had a great time during Kathleen Spellman's open house last Friday. Kathleen, pictured center, was all smiles as you can see! Her watercolors are incredible and she unveiled ten new paintings that evening. If you missed out on the reception, we have great news for you. Kathleen's art work is always available at Eclectic Elegance. We carry her note cards, 2008 calendars, prints, and originals throughout the year. Kathleen's artwork is just another example of the unique gift items we have at the Purple Building.
Perhaps you have always wanted to dabble in watercolors, well now is your chance. Kathleen will be here Saturday, November 10th, teaching a beginning watercolor class. The four hour class begins at 10:00 a.m. and all materials will be supplied. Our favorite painter will teach you the basic techniques of watercolors and help you create a masterpiece! Join us for this incredible class and wake up your creativity. The cost of the class is $65.00. Please call 248-478-7220 to reserve your seat for this and all of our ClubHouse classes.
Speaking of creativity, our Holiday Gift Tag and Card Class is this Saturday, November 3rd. Beginning at 10:00 a.m. and ending at noon, this class is sure to please. Jana, our teacher, will show us how to make our own gift tags and cards just in time for the upcoming holidays. All materials will be supplied and you will walk away with several completed projects. The fee for this terrific class is $25.00.
Our last class for the season is our Winter Container Class to be held Thursday, November 15th. Heidi Cook of Liberty Street Gardens will teach us how to plant an outdoor pot perfect for the upcoming holidays. If you are entertaining this season, join us for this informative (and dirty) class. Please bring a pot suitable for the Michigan outdoors that is less than 12" in diameter. (There is a price adjustment for larger pots). Your cost of $45.00 includes the soil and plants that will make your porch or patio bursting with holiday cheer.
On Thursday, November 8th, Eclectic Elegance will be participating in the Holiday Shopping Expo held at the Costick Activities Center in Farmington Hills. This annual event is a great way to shop as 50 local merchants and crafters are all in one location. There is no entrance fee for the event and the fun begins at 5:00 p.m. and lasts until 8:00 p.m. While at the Shopping Expo, make sure to say "HI" to us at our booth.
We would like you to mark your calendars for two special events in downtown Farmington. On Friday, November 30th, Farmington merchants will be having the first annual GLOW. Downtown Farmington will be twinkling with lights this special evening and the sounds of the holidays will fill the streets. Participating stores and restaurants will have special activities throughout the night. Scott Seegert, local author, will have a book signing and Tim Spellman will be drawing caricatures here at Eclectic Elegance beginning at 6:00 p.m. We will have more information in the upcoming Blogs, but we know this will be a special evening for downtown Farmington.
The holiday fun will continue on Saturday, December 1st as Holly Day activities commence. The Pavilion will be filled with holiday greens for sale from local vendors. Santa Claus will make a visit and several Farmington merchants will have special events in their stores. Did we mention the LIVE REINDEER that will be strolling down Grand River!
