MERRY CHRISTMAS TO OUR STUDIO ASSISTANTS!

We give thanks for our Studio Assistants at From the Summer's Garden for their hard work and support.  These young people attend three different Shawnee Mission High schools where they are taking art courses.  Working as a Studio Assistant gives them a chance to put their talent to work!
Merry Christmas to Emily, Brannon and Matt!

COLOR NEWS

Pantone's color of the year for 2013 is EMERALD GREEN.  Earlier predictions were leaning toward a deeper medium blue called Monaco Blue.  This is a great green color and will most certainly will shine in a grouping of blues and oranges.

BROTHER MICHAEL, Calligrapher and Child of God

 I have the honor and privilege of working with

 Brother Michael O.S.B. at the Printery House in

Conception, Mo. The monks here are members of the

 Order of St. Benedict. 

Brother Michael is a calligrapher and is lettering the 

text for one of our new Christmas cards!


ON A MISSION...

I was standing conversing with several adults

 yesterday and this kid comes up to me and says, "I'd

 like to give you this candy cane." He ran off before I

could read it and when I did, he was long gone.

 Thanks for the wonderful day brightener, kiddo!

FINAL DAY FOR MARSHMALLOW WORLD...

We've had great fun during It's a Marshmallow World.  It has been a pleasure seeing you and helping you discover some great gift solutions for your holiday gift-giving.  Though the weather has been very pleasant, it's been fun making S'mores over the coals in the firepit.  Kids of all ages love them!
Sunday we're open from 12:00 noon until 6:00 PM.
