Saturday Night’s Show, featuring Kris Taylor and a Special Thank You

March 6, 2011 by Cassie 9 Comments

I know I said I would be away all weekend and not back til tonight, but I have a couple hours before I have to head off to CPR, so I thought I would share last night’s festivities with you.

So last night, I brought some items to my girlfriend Sarah’s house as she was hosting an art sale for her mom, and also selling some aprons she just started making.  She had invited me to sell there as well.  It was not a very busy night (Sarah had done it previously in the fall with  much success), but I had so much fun hanging out, drinking wine, eating good food, and seeing Sarah’s mom’s art in person.  Here on out, “Sarah’s mom” will be referred to as Kris Taylor.  Kris resides in Richmond, VA, and does beautiful work- etchings, oil paintings, jewelry.  I just wanted to share some photos tonight of her work.  Out of everything, I love her oil paintings the most.  The colors she uses are so vibrant, and the paintings just pop!

And like I said, I didn’t sell much, but I was in good company!

So go visit Kris’ site for some fantastic color inspiration and beautiful eye candy!
And again, a special thanks to Ali of My Third True Love for sending me “Butterflies of Hope”. Even with it being slow, I sold 4 of those and only have a couple left!  All proceeds go to Juliet’s care.

What’s more, in case you didn’t read it eariler, I want to send a huge thank you to all of those who have been sending positive thoughts and prayers out to Juliet.  Good news was received a couple of weeks ago and the cancer count in her little almost 5 year old body was ZERO!!!!  It couldn’t have been better news!!!  She will still have to continue treatments and medications, but not as extreme.  Juliet is a fighter, a beautiful child with a beautiful spirit.  And I believe in the power of positive thinking, and I want to thank you all because I truly believe that each and every one of you had something to do with the good news she received.  I wish I could take a jaunt around he country to personally thank you all, but this will have to do for now.
Patricia sent me this video of Juliet singing to her baby brother, and I just thought it was too sweet not to share.

    I’m so happy for you and Juliet’s family. I teared up reading the good news. Hopefully she will never have to go through something like that again.

    Juliet is a doll and I am so glad things are going in a positive direction!

    You have got to know I LOVE the colors in Kris’ paintings. They remind me of Key West…..

    The aprons and earrings are fab too!

    Take care,
    Lisa

    Kris does beautiful paintings. I love the sunflower one. Great colors and nice and cheery! I also love that little aqua bench that you used to display the galvanized buckets on. Is that your display, Cassie? It sounds like a fun evening. What wonderful news on Juliet! She’s a little doll in that video. Bless her heart. She’s a little tropper with all that she’s going through. I will continue to keep Juliet and her family in my prayers.
