2 new additions to our gallery and other things

Its been a long and exhausting time of it to finally expand our gallery to 2 floors!  Upstairs from the current gallery we will soon be opening The Artisans Workshop ....a part of The Bradley Art Gallery.  Upstairs there will be art classes of ALL kinds...of varying lengths and prices...taught be experienced artists in their medium for both total beginners hoping to learn something brand new...to experts already! 
We will also be offering many other "life enriching workshops...creative writing..languages such as Spanish, Italian and possibly Norwegian!  And many other varied classes...we will be moving our regular yoga classes on Wednesdays upstairs as well.   We have been so excited about it and it almost near the time when we can get upstairs and start arranging the space and getting ready!  More pictures soon!   I saw this podium and loved it...I thought it would be perfect for the "teacher" to stand ...and have a place to hold paperwork etc...to help them be organized....I love it!  Its a beautiful piece isnt it?  I get to pick it up on Tuesday...as well as this beatuiful wood jewelry display case.  I have been eagerly awaiting my new jewerly to come and fill it!  The posters are in the way....but it is a beautiful piece of hickory funriture..and in perfect shape..I am excited to have more room for jewelry here at the gallery!

My new Gallery Birds!!! Yea ...Welcome George and Gracie!

These are my new "gallery birds"!  George and Gracie!  I just got them last night...I think they will love living at the gallery...so much color and noise and people and attention!!! They are attention mongers!  Especially Gracie on the left.  She is a Quaker Parrot and George is a Love Bird.  George could care less... I think...about peoples attention...but Gracie wants to be loved totally!  They are both freaked out today..everything is too new...I am trying to give them their "space" to acclimate...but its so hard...Gracie is so fun!  She hasn't been worked with too much...but Quakers can really be big talkers.  So, we are going to work on talking...so far she has just imitated my laugh...which was hilarious!!  And she gives kisses...but that's all so far.  I have to do some reading about these birds so I can be the very best human friend they could have.  Quakers live to be about 30....Gracie is around 7. The love bird is around 4 yrs old...I don't know how long Love Birds live...I will find this all out...what a fun new journey!!!  Please come and check my new feathered friends out at the gallery!!
