Hey...that's not your chair...

Sassy in Vintage French Grain Sack...

Fall on Vashon Island...

I just returned from a week in Southern California where I spent time with my family.  As luck would have it, my visit coincided with the Rose Bowl Flea Market.  My big brother and I made the trip up from San Diego to Pasadena on a perfect California day in search of JoeysCoat treasures.  Back at home this morning, the sun was brilliant while I was preparing to Blog about the spoils...with treasures and camera in hand, I looked out the French doors, within a matter of minutes the sunshine had turned to rain.  I found a tiny rectangle of sunlight beaming on the edge of my piano and quickly took advantage of it...

Bakelite and Mother of Pearl and Vegetable Ivory, oh my...

Opening Night at the Heron's Nest Gallery...

A grand success...

Thank you, Dana, for sharing your masterful talent with JoeysCoat...

Vashon Allied Arts - "Enriching Island lives since 1966"

Vashon Allied Arts was formed in 1966 as a non-profit arts organization.

Over the years, VAA has continued to develop a comprehensive array of programs and services, including a gallery, performance program, class program, Artists in Schools program, the Heron's Nest art and craft gallery and Island View, a monthly publication of community arts events. VAA owes much of its success to the hundreds of volunteers who donate thousands of hours out of their love for the arts and the community.

The above statement comes directly from the Home page of the website for Vashon Allied Arts.  

In addition to the programs and services supported by VAA is a monthly Gallery Cruise which begins the first Friday of each month.  Tonight, JoeysCoat is honored to grace the front window of the Heron's Nest Gallery.
