Do you have your tickets yet???

Father's Day this weekend.......two good suggestions for him!!
#1. Take Dad to the Harbor History Museum, this time, let him play with all the hands on exhibits!!! Then take him to the GigFest Maritime Art Exhibition in the Harbor HistoryMuseum!!
#2. If your Dad likes to garden, get him tickets to the Gig Harbor Garden Tour,
happening June 25, and 26th
....do something fun and perhaps a little unexpected with Dad this year!!!
Perhaps Dad can find some FREE art...
or maybe you will find the FREE art!


"Earth laughs in flowers" When people learn to read an entire world of possibilities opens up for them and life gets better for all of us.. When you purchase a tick to the Gig Harbor Garden Tour, the proceeds go towards Adult literacy programs at TCC here in Gig Harbor.
Where are you going to find this little flower of possibility? What is your favorite jewelry store up on Kimbal Drive? While there check out the new jewelry arrivals....they are not free, but they are very beautiful!!! Great selection, great price.

While you are on the Garden Tour, be sure to look for some Feel Good FREE Art in all the gardens ....just a little something special to make you feel good...from local artists....to you!


So, now you are in UPTOWN, doing a little walking...well, walk on in to Elandan Gallery, so much fun and so many beautiful things, for yourself or a great gift area..... While there check for this beautiful watercolor reproduction by Susy Stremel. Susy is a recent artist to Gig Harbor and if you miss her work in Elandan, just head on down to Ebb Tide Gallery on Pioneer and you'll find more of Susy's watercolors!!!!

"Turn Me Over!!!" and when you do, you will discover this art card is FREE to you, just to make your day a little brighter. This beautiful art card is by Kathy Thurston and you can find it at The Wine Studio.
Whew, it is Friday, thank goodness...why not head on over to The Wine Studio for some relaxation and wine tasting...every Friday 5-7pm. Now, if you miss Kathy's work at The Wine Studio, head on down to Ebb Tide Gallery cause that is where you will find more of Kathy's work.
And you will find more of Kathy's work on the Garden Tour next weekend...be on the lookout!!

How thrilled will you be to find this little unexpected wirewrapped pendent..FREE...to you? This one you will have to hunt a little for...you will find it on Pioneer in downtown Gig Harbor. After your hunt you might need a little snack, so head on over to Kelly's for a delicious burger.
The jeweler artist on this one is Sam Chavis. Everyone loves her jewelry a
nd if you are late finding this one, just go on to Ebb Tide Gallery, you'll find more jewelry there.
Of course, y
ou will also find a piece of Sam's wonderful jewelry in one of the Gardens on the tour next weekend....look very carefully!!!
"One who plants a garden, plants happiness"
