Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends...




I wanted to take a moment to give a great big THANK YOU to two men who helped me out with my booth at the 2010 Spring Bridal Expo at the Grand Traverse Resort.
First of all, a huge thank you to my darling husband Jeff.
(Always thank your husband first ladies.)
He is the worlds best wing man for my life and my business!
For loading and unloading my display,
for standing by my side and believing that I am great at what I do,
(it sure is nice to have someone support and believe in you that much)
for stopping on the way home in a white-out snowstorm so we could help push a car out of a ditch,
for all of that and a million more things,
thank you!
Secondly, another great big thank you to Steve of Art of Framing and Gallery on 14th Street in Traverse City.
When I started preparing my display, I knew I would need some easels for a few of my images. Since I don't do a ton of wedding shows, I called and asked the owner, Steve Baas if he had any ideas about renting some from somewhere.
When he found out my plan, he was generous enough to offer to lend me a few of the display easels from his gallery!
He is the kind of guy who encourages and supports artists in the Traverse City area and does what he can to help. In a smallish area like this, there are some who would see someone elses success as a threat to their own.
Not this guy!
While I was picking up the easels, I had the opportunity to nose around the gallery a bit and saw an amazingly diverse selection of art pieces...from traditional to abstract and everything in between.
If you are ever in the area and have a few minutes to check it out, you will not be disappointed in the beautiful things that you will see there.
And if you love something enough, Steve will even let you buy it and take it home:)
