It Takes Two - the opening!

Hello Monday! What a wonderful packed weekend we enjoyed - from the show hanging on Wednesday night to the final piece being the opening on Saturday evening. It was a fun time with "pairs or go together" nibbles (thanks for the great idea Amber) of "snow peas and baby carrots" chips and dip (sweet potato and hummus) strawberries and chocolate and of course Recees cups (pb and chocolate). But besides that, the evening was so enjoyable with patrons hailing from all over. Two lovely women read about the event on design*sponge and made the trip up from Boston, Mati's parents and friends stopped by, Scott Patt and Lisa DeJohn and Megan and Chuckie were on hand to answer questions about their art. And a lot of couples! Ah love! Above scenes from the evening.

Thanks to Lisa Congdon too this morning for a lovely write up on Poppytalk!

It Takes Two - down to the wire

There was so much moving about last night here at the gallery - but things started to fall into place and now we are throughly thrilled with the final outcome of the show. Here are a couple, but more will come tomorrow - promise when the sun is back! Megan Bogonovich dropped off her sculptures and her husband Chuckie's pieces, so the exhibition is complete! I am thrilled the way her cube vases play against Julia Rothman and Matt Longacre's work so well.

It's going to be a grand opening on Saturday night - so it would be wonderful to see all you all for some fun then too - 5-7 pm!

They painted each other's belongings and well, they are pretty amazing. Click through the photo and see the whole set so far at flickr! Much more to come. All in the shop soon!
