Scrooge hits Montello

Sometime after 7pm on Thanksgiving night and before 9 am on Friday a SCROOGE snatched one of the white Christmas trees from in front of the shop. It's not bad enough that the city didi'nt get the decorations up in town yet, or that the banners announcing this weekends event weren't put up. NOW, the tree was STOLEN ! Someone must have really needed a tree bad and the funny part is, if they had asked I would have given them one of the many we have in the shop. So....Merry Christmas anyways and I hope the rest of the season goes better than this first holiday weekend!

Upcoming shows and events

Things are beginning to look alot like Christmas around here. The windows are trimmed and there are snowmen and santas in every corner. I am busy painting for 2 upcoming shows and a tv appearance. On top of that we have Holiday Happenings Thanksgiving weekend here in Montello and I have a make it , take it ornament activity going in the shop as well as refreshments and direstions to all the other thinhgs happening that day in town.

Tuesday November 25th I will be in Oshkosh at the Aurora Hospital Holiday Show. It runs from 6 to 4 and the assortment of vendors is just wonderful.
