Okay, friends...get those calendars & a sharpie. 
Go ahead...I'll wait...
It's time for our 2nd Annual
"Kathy's Purple Heart Event"
Saturday, August 18th
7:30pm - 10pm
This is the event we created to honor this lovely lady...

and raise tons of money for the
Alzheimer's  Association.
~~~
Last year's event was "Sing your Heart Out" and we made you sing (or pay not to) in a karaoke setting.  Kathy loves a little karaoke and that is what these events are all about...the things Kathy loves.
~~~
This year's theme...
"We Heart Art"
don't fret, dear ones...we aren't going to make you don a smock and paint. 
We will be transforming our store into an art gallery for the evening and featuring art from many of your favorites like
Erin Smith Art, Curly Girl Designs
and Spicher & Co.
plus new artists like
Elizabeth Lucas, Story People &
Shore Elements.
~~~
We will be selling raffle tickets for your chance to win 2 pieces of art (Curly Girl Designs and Spicher & Co.) to be given away on the 18th.  The raffle tickets are $3 for 1 ticket $10 for 5.
We will also be holding a Silent Auction for 3 Amazing pieces of art by Shore Elements, Story People & Erin Smith Art as well.
You may buy your raffle tickets in the store any time as well as the night of the event.
The Silent Auction will be a week-long bidding frenzy which begins tomorrow and will culminate on August 18th.
Be sure to stop in tomorrow to view the incredible artwork for the Auction and
 bid til it hurts!!
~~~
Also...we have chosen the print
"Real Reason"
from Story People as our
'Kathy's Purple Heart'
item of the year.
Here it is...

Each time one of these is purchased throughout the year, 100% of the proceeds will go to the Southeastern Virginia Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association.
Buy one for everyone you know...seriously.
$32.00

Please make plans to join us.  It will be a beautiful, fun and festive evening.      
Catherine Gettier from Catherine's catering will be providing the food for the evening and trust me, you do not want to miss enjoying her mouth-watering delectibles.  We hear the chocolate-covered macaroons are going to be causing quite the stir.
Beer, wine and sparkling Italian sodas will also be served.
 
   
We sincerely hope that all of you will make plans to attend this event to help us raise money for Alzheimer's Disease and to honor Kathy.  If, however, you cannot be with us and would like to be a part of the event, you may buy raffle tickets or make a donation by calling the store...
