If you don't know Jane Bishop's shop, Mockingbird Handprints, check it out. She features various artists and her own work--textiles, pottery, furniture, jewelry and collages. So inspiring to walk around and soak up all the creative energy there!
We bought some pretty soaps from one of the Brick vendors. When his mother had cancer, he created a lavender soap to soothe her skin after radiation, then all his friends started asking for soaps--and it turned into a thriving business.
Chris bought me a beautiful painting on wood by an artist named Angelica. Chris' was her first purchase, her first show at the Brick, so a friend of hers took pictures of the three of us, the creator, the giver, and the happy receiver.

We poked around a bit at YeYa's, and I came away with a few vintage dress patterns, sheet music, and old papers to use in collage.
After Chris headed back to Kerrville, I made a page in my journal and then joined Pam and Kay and our new friend Linda from Indiana for the first part of the Oscars and dinner at Linda's house two streets away.
Meanwhile, I got these snapshots from Day's happy family last week at Disneyworld. "What we learned is that we're not Disney people, but we're wandering around and go-cart riding people."
They had a great trip overall, just don't like standing in long lines. These four have fun wherever they go.
