So, in all that "getting", where will you "get" your FREE art?
So, I am NOT telling you where this FREE art is. Surely you can figure out this one!!! That's Teresa and Scott and they will be putting this original acrylic painting from Charlie Meacham somewhere in that store for you to find....it is beautiful!!!! (Might find some kitchen stuff in there, too. Alright, just a little clue)






Meet Donna Greer. She is one of those wonderful volunteers that staff the Gig Harbor Visitor's Center. A great place to explore and lots of great information. This time you can find a FREE piece of Lynn Guenard's art cards. Great if you're a shoe person...great if you like great art. Lynn is one of the artists participating in the Art Festival on Judson Sat and Sunday. Stop by her booth for more exciting art!!!

Meet Sheree from Morso. "If there's no chocolate in heaven, I'm not going!" Me, neither!!! Always go to Morso for wonderful food, great wine...and I love their beer.You might love this little painting, if you find it first! Enjoy happy hour on their deck with one of the best views of the harbor in town!!!! Currently, also enjoy "The Road of Little White Lies". An original art exhibition at Morso. Have you explored their art gallery? Check it out!!!







Meet Martha and Guy Johnson at No Dearth of Books....yes, it is true, No Dearth of Books has been purchased and moved. This used and rare bookstore can now be found in Neptunes Court, sort of across the street from Kelly's.
Martha and Guy and here from upstate New York...Welcom!!.
And this beautiful, hand created, cross stitch bookmark is by Stacey Webber.Would look perfect in one of your books...if you find it first. Look for Stacey at Elandon Gallery in UPTOWN.


Meet Julie, she works at Spiro's Resturant. When you need a comfortable place to sit and enjoy good food this weekend, go to Spiros.
While there you might just find this beautiful art card from Kathy Thurston. Look for more of Kathy's art at Ebb Tide Gallery. While at the Art Fest, be sure to take a walk into Key Bank to enjoy the special art show there.
