Tomorrow is Memorial Day and weather permitting we will have Mary Lou Peters out front painting. We also might have an appearance of Bill Murcko, he was working on a sketch today and wants to try to finish it tomorrow.

We got our flowers in at the gallery and I think they look pretty good. After another few weeks they should look great.



Another Happy Customer

Thank you to Michael and Catrina from Texas for buying this beautiful Bill Murcko painting of Round Island Lighthouse. I hope you enjoy it for many years to come. Bill was out front today in the beautiful weather sketching Dave the blacksmith.

Kathleen Chaney Fritz's "Le Grande Tortue"



Well, the 2010 season is here and the Gallery and Lilacs and Lace are open for business with some great new artwork and some other new items as well. Gail Hayton painted 23 new miniature paintings for us, Bill Murcko has a few new ones for us, Diane Neyer has some new ones for us, and Kathleen Chaney Fritz has a beautiful new oil painting for us. Here are some pictures of a few of the new paintings. Just got our flowers in at the gallery this week, so hopefully our front yard will look as nice as it did last year. We also got new steps and a new front walkway which look great. Lilacs and Lace also moved this year to the store that used to be Mackinac Lapidary. Our new location is awesome for artwork display, it is also just a much larger space so that you don't feel like you might knock things over in there if you step the wrong way. I hope y'all like what we have done.
