Vaillancourt Collector’s Weekend 2011
 |
Celebrate365’s Connie Porcher kicked off the Saturday lecture series … Decorating the Tree … An Evolution April 30, 2011 Vaillancourt Collector’s Weekend |
 |
Sunday – Painting a chalkware Santa Joan assists us with colors and plenty of instructions. She has been a Vaillancourt painter for 27 years! |
 |
Each novice painter received a fully-painted sample as a guide. Our Santa’s coat was pre-painted to insure we could work with a dry form. |
 |
My Santa version is on the left, the artist’s model is on the right. You will see that I took some "liberties" in order to finish within the required time. Yes, I would have loved holly on Santa’s hood … but I think that I would still be painting! |
A Patricia Breen Complimentary Ornament …
I was able to photograph my sister’s prize from the Patricia Breen event held at Stacey Leuliette Gracious Living in Birmingham, Michigan. It is a “cachette” in Breen-ology. I would term it a candy container — something like those from Ino Schaller in Germany. This is much heavier and, as you can see, exceptionally beautiful! This was Benita’s first Patricia Breen ornament event. She certainly was a very lucky winner! Thanks to Patricia, James, Stacey and the staff for hosting an outstanding ornament experience!
