New E-mail

I haven't been here in a while. Sometimes I had a hard time getting in. So now that I have a new e-mail address, I created a new account and am starting over. Hopefully this works. I hope everyone is well. I'm really sad I missed the last book club dinner because I loved our last book and looked forward to hearing what all of you had to say. I hope all is well with you. I do have a new e-mail which is bscoville@nwi.net if you want to make a note. Thanks.

Happy Tuesday!

I am so glad Esther posted this Blog for us to all keep in touch!

UPCOMING EXHIBIT

Hi Everyone,

I just want to let you know about an upcoming basket exhibit that will be showing my work. It is "Containers, Containment and Contents" presented by the Arts Council of Snohomish County and featuring work by members of Northwest Basket Weavers Guild and Northwest Designer Craftsmen. The exhibit runs Jan 9 - Feb 12, 2009, with an opening reception on Friday, Jan 9 from 5 - 8 pm. This exhibit is running in conjunction with an exhibit at the Bellevue Arts Museum called "Intertwined: Contemporary Baskets from the Sara & David Lieberman Collection". This is a traveling exhibit organized by the Arizona State University of Art, Tempe, AZ, which will run through March 22, 2009.
