Some of your favorite artists are working on new pattens that will be online soon. NEW PATTERNS I am blessed to have the best of the best painting on our surfaces. Check the web regularly to see the new patterns. 2018 "GATHERING of ART FRIENDS" SEMINAR in WACO, TEXAS!!! Yes, it is time for another "Home Town Gathering". What could be more fun than painting with the best of the best artists in the industry and shopping at Magnolia's and the other great gift shops in Waco and the surrounding area? Not much!!! Oh, I almost forgot to mention we could go to an antique shop Joanna Gaines of the Fixer Upper TV Show frequents.
The "Fixer Uppers" will be opening a new restaurant. It is a landmark on the historic "Traffic Circle" in Waco. It has been closed for years. It is a unique building and I am thrilled they are remodeling it. Bill and I ate there frequently when we were dating and in the early years of our marriage. Takes us down memory lane. I am hoping it will be open by then. We could plan to have lunch there. It will not be open in the evenings so we would have to do lunch and paint a little later that evening. 
Once again, the day before the seminar begins we will have a " Fun Day". We will visit fun shops in the area. Some will, of course, want to go to Magnolias if they have not been before. There are a couple of gift shops nearby for those who have visited Magnolias. It will be fun to visit antique and gift shops in Waco. It will be a fun, fun day. More information on our fun day soon. Now... if you have not registered for Shara's Seminar there are still a few spaces and registration information can be found here. Hugs, Della
