Oh my goodness!!! I went to the Main Street Arts Festival, in Ft. Worth, looking for something funky. I usually buy a head for my head collection. Alas… there were no heads!! The really fun, funky things were out of my budget. But, oh yes, I found something. In fact, I found two things. I’m adding a little class to my life, and inspiration to get my garden in great shape.
In a way, I added a head. I bought a skate board from an artist that hand draws his art on skate boards (without wheels). He is from New Orleans, and had all kinds of great art. He was also working on an original work, while waiting on people. I was so impressed with him.
The other thing I bought, was for my garden. It is a pole with a beautiful stained glass insert. It was made by Roger Mathews, from Wichita, KS. Mine was one of his smaller ones. He had some really big ones displayed. I really worried, last night, with the rain and wind, how all of those displays held up. Yesterday was the first time they ever cancelled because of weather conditions.
I love going to the Arts Festival, every year, and finding something fun and new. I’m honored to have things in my collection from these artists. I always get some great comments from people about some of the things I have purchased.
SPEAKING OF GREAT ARTISTS!
I had the great honor of being invited to my former piano student’s Senior voice recital, at Baylor University. Yesterday was Zane Freemyer’s recital, and he did an excellent job! I was so proud that I had helped him with his start in music. He is graduating with a Bachelor of Church Music. After his recital, the family also had a reception for him. There was lots of good food, and fun decorations. Zane was so gracious, going around and talking to everyone. I wish him much luck in the future.
I hope your weekend has been great. I have my two grandkids here, and we are going to go to Palm Sunday Services at our church. There is usually a parade of children waving their palms, with Jesus riding in on a real donkey. I think they will enjoy that.
Just a last thought…..if you are going to run a red light, don’t do that when sitting in the waiting traffic, at the head of the line, is a policeman. Oh my. I have a big fine, and am really lucky no one drove into me. I was frazzled, trying to find the right road.
I’m finishing this post on Monday evening. I’m very sad to hear about Notre Dame Cathedral, in Paris. We visited it years ago, and it was such a beautiful , majestic place.
