Art Opening Saturday Feb 19, Meet Dog Portrait Artist Becky Kidd


Anyone who knows me, knows how I love dogs! So I am beyond excited about the next event at the shop!

Snellville artist, and former antique dealer, Becky Kidd, will open her exhibit of dog portraits on Saturday, Feb. 19th. Come meet Becky on Saturday, from noon until 3pm. She loves dogs and all animals, so bring photos of your pets and brag a bit! Her art will be on display through the following weekend, Saturday, Feb. 26th.  Visit Becky's blog for more information on custom pet portraits!

Becky has donated a custom pet portrait to help raise funds for Animal Action Rescue, one of my favorite dog rescue groups. $2.00 enters you in the raffle. You can enter as many times as you like. Visit the shop, or go to Animal Action Rescue's site, to enter the drawing. Winner will be e-mailed by Monday Feb. 28th and info posted here on Monday.

There are some great events in Old Town the next two weeks!

Meet the artist Becky Kidd on Feb.19th.

Then on Feb. 26th, Old Town celebrates Arbor Day in the park. Event starts at 10am. The City of Lilburn and the GFWC Lilburn Woman's Club invite everyone to join in the festivities, and help plant a large Elm Tree in Lilburn City Park.There will be kids nature activities, plus an interpretive nature walk along the Greenway Trail.

After the celebration, come to Main Street for live music at the shop. "Questionable Characters" rocks! Your feet will feel like dancing!

Visit my neighbor across the street, Antiques In Old Town, for coffee and shopping and a raffle for a tree of one's own.

Hey Barbara...I'm wishing this event wasn't while I'm out of town, but I'll come by while her art is there when I get back to see it. She does a great job & is a sweet & fun person too! Have a great weekend!!
