I'm striking out on my own. The wife will have her work at her Mountainside Pottery Show; note: it's a pottery sale - so - no brushes! But that's OK because I've been invited to this juried show far closer to home:
Shelter Our Pets Craft Show
Seniors' Center at the Tice's Shopping Center
411 Chestnut Ridge Road, Woodcliffe Lake, NJ
Saturday, November 16, 2013
10AM to 4 PM
I remember when this site was one of the working farms in the area with a "turkey shoot" at Thanksgiving and later I laid the tile in the old barn that became a crafty sort of indoor mall. Now there's a brand new shopping center with all kinds of stores I never thought would be popular in a farm area. Guess we're not a farm area anymore!
This is it - my deep cold end of the pool - toss me in, I'm ready to swim!
In case you are curious: Shelter Our Pets is a start-up agency that is looking forward to boarding, at no cost, the pets of families who are homeless, especially due to domestic violence. They already work with Shelter Our Sisters, the local Domestic Violence agency and were very active with the Emergency Management office during Super Storm Sandy. NO one should be faced with giving up family members to get help for the humans in the family - I really believe it's important that kids who have homeless problems shouldn't also face the loss of their pets. This is a good show for me. I'm really looking forward to it!
