Happy Early Birthday greetings to Miss Megan Mac

Be sure to visit Tiny Canary this weekend folks and take a moment to stop by the booth of Miss Megan Mac! It's her birthday and we sincerely extend warm wishes to this adored team member. She's our resident weaver and textiles artist. Although talented in many different creative realms, she currently expresses herself in chiffons and silks, batiking and hand-painting them. There's something very decadent about draping yourself in her fine wares! Visit her etsy shop and prepare to be enticed! Her colors and patterns are OUT OF THIS WORLD.

the Pride and Joy Trunk Show

Where? 4th Street Studios - 1950 North 4th Street Columbus, Ohio

At 4th street and 18th street in the newly renovated Indianola Park Centre

www.4thstreet-studio.com

A portion of sales go to Indianola Middle School to help their students in need.
Many kids come to IMS unclean and awkward; they need basics like shampoo, deodorant and sanitary pads.
This sale will help the IMS guidance department help these children. By making middle school less awkward, we hope to give them Pride and Joy once again!!

We will have a donation box for bathroom supplies/toiletries (regular or travel size is needed!)

There will be a raffle for a large gift basket from the featured artists that night as well!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELANIE!!!

Today we extend warm wishes to Melanie of Mel's Clay. She is a valued team member and polymer clay guru. Furthermore she is doing her part to join the "green" or eco-friendly movement by incorporating recycled materials into her art. You will notice clay covered tins, light-switch covers and drawer knobs are amongst the usual wares in her shop. She also creates clay jewelry and coats ink pens with beautiful clay patterns. If you have a theme or color scheme in mind, she will happily work with you to design a unique and one-of-a-kind finished product. Please take a moment to visit her shop and join us in celebrating her special day!
