2017-12-16 - Saturday - This and that and art

Saturday I ran some errands and visited some of my friends' sales.

First, I went to the Re-cyclery to drop off the kids old bikes. They want "dusty, not rusty" and our bikes fit the bill.

I was really impressed with the size of the operation and how much good they were doing there. If you have any old bikes you can drop them off there. If you would like to buy some good quality used bikes, I would recommend them.


Next, I went to Amy Sanders holiday sale and bought a bowl and this really cool ornament that Gus made with Princess Leia on it.

She's got attitude.

After that I went to NoDa to check out my friend Ralph Janelli's booth at the outdoor sale. While talking to Ralph I was taken with this mural by Osiris Rain.

Circle of Eight at Lark & Key

We went to the NoDa gallery crawl on Friday (first time in ~twelve years) to check out the Circle of Eight reception at the Lark & Key gallery. The presentation was wonderful and we caught up with Greg & Adrienne, Julie, and Ron --four of the Circle of Eight. Once again we just missed Amy with Guthrie. I ran out of the house and forgot my camera so I only got one picture with my cell phone.

Meredith, Greg, and Adrienne.

Nice face, Meredith.

I really enjoyed what I saw of the galleries, but the kids were hungry so we didn't stay long. We couldn't get into some places and in others they couldn't find anything they liked on the menus. We ended up at Mr. K's for some of their favorites.

I tried to expose the kids to some art, but I think Karen and I will go by ourselves the next time.
