Let's remember Memorial Day!

Memorial Day, the last Monday in May, was officially proclaimed on May 5th, 1868 by General John Logan when flowers were placed on graves at Arlington National Cementary. It was the National Holiday Act of 1971 that ensured a 3 day weekend. What ever happened to the red poppies?
A good time to be thankful for those who have gone, have served and all who are still serving..and their families...
Thank you!

Kitty #4 is now ready for adoption....
where will you find him!!!
Perhaps while you are there, have a little wine, food, great art... and a great view of the harbor. Do hope those cooks at Morso don't cook the kitty!!!
"Kind words are easy to speak, but their echos are truly endless"
Want to see some great photography? Head on over to Morso for an artist reception on 5/27 6-8pm. Ed Kenney from Maine has some amazing photography for you to see. Tommy Tutone at Morso on Sat. 5/28; 8pm call for tickets!!! Click on Morso link for all the news.

Now, here's where to find FREE art this weekend...or until they have been found!
A great BIG welcome to a new participating artist with the Feel Good Free Art Project.....Sandra Erickson. This is a beautiful piece of pottery with a heron inscribed in it.
Better get to UPTOWN now and hurry into that store with lots and lots for your kitchen.....


With all the love we have for our military and families, past and present, how appropriate that Stacey Webber created this LOVE bookmark. Do you know Laureen's favorite bookstore in Gig Harbor? That's where you'll find this one...perhaps to share with a service person or family? Drop in at Forza for Book Nite to discuss "Rhythm of Life" by Matthew Kelly



Need a birthday gift for your best gal pal....or perhaps a great new cut...think downtown....think JAX!! Find Free Art...and a whole lot more!




We are so luck to live in the beautiful little town..Here's one of the reasons why.....This gorgeous photo by Mark Ritchie....another reason why is because we have a great museum.....Both together..go there!
If you miss Mark's photo at the History Museum, then check out Ebb Tide Gallery cause that is where you will find more of Mark's beautiful photography!!

Here are the clues: Downtown Gig Harbor, the perfect place for a Wild Bird art card......this one is easy, and Becci Crowe is the wonderful artist who has created this art cards. Now, if her art card is gone from that Wild Bird place, just head on over to Ebb Tide Gallery...find Becci's work there!!!


Where ever you go; what ever you do; do with gusto and remember next weekend is Maritime Gig Weekend. Parade, entertainment, art walk....and much MORE!!!
