Marist School Holiday Traditions, This Saturday Oct. 30th





Marist Holiday Traditions 2010

This is my first year doing the Marist Holiday Traditions.  I've heard it's a show that shouldn't be missed!  If the weather holds out, it might be perfect!  If you go to the show, remember you can't bring strollers.

Visit Throwing Stars Jewelry outside, booth number 57, Arcade Area C.  Below is the information I grabbed from the Marist School Website.  And if you're not familiar with directions, I also put that information at the very bottom of this posting.  Cheers!

Rag Ribbon Rainbow This Weekend


It's just the beginning of the holiday season, and it starts with RAG RIBBON RAINBOW!  I don't want to say it starts with a "bang", but it sure is a feast for the eyes!!  I went to drop off a few repairs this morning, thinking I could turn off the "shopping bug", but I couldn't resist!  I walked out with 3 paintings...  And I know exactly were they're new home will be, in my dining room of course!  It was 10am, and there were cars up and down the street already.  Ladies shopping and catching up since last years show.  This year a portion of the proceeds will go to a local charity. 

In case you can't read the address, this year will take place at the same home as last year!  It's a wonderful home and a very convenient location for you local Atlantans, in Buckhead, close to 400.
