Book Signing Event

It has been just over a week ago that we opened our studio and had as a special guest a fellow artist turned writer! Our friend, Dee Trainor, has just published her first book, a charming collection of autobiographical stories, called “A Charmed Life”. We were pleased to have her come in on a Friday evening to hold a book signing and do readings from a couple of her chapters. Even for a snowy day in late February, there was a steady stream of folks that came through to listen, buy copies and congratulate her. I think she was pleased with how it all turned out.

The photograph included here shows Dee reading aloud to the audience, next to a wedding dress on a mannequin. That is her own wedding dress, also worn years later by two of her daughters. To do the story justice, you need to read the chapter. I can recommend it. "A Charmed Life” can be bought from Lulu.com, and also soon from Amazon.com.

This has encouraged us to think about other ways we might be able to use our studio space. Not just hold an Open House, or a workshop, but broaden and combine with other events. A nice way to start the year.
