Pillows with Personality ... and for a great cause!

Lisa Goldstein is one of our very favorite local Chapel Hill talents.  She creates whimsical hand-appliqued pillows with motifs ranging from this handsome owl to cheery flowers and racing cars.  Each one is individual and guaranteed to bring a smile to your day.

The UNC Beacon Program is hosting their annual silent-no-more-auction tonight at The Siena Hotel from 5:30 - 8:00 pm.  Lisa has generously donated one of her unique pillow creations for the silent auction at this event.  Please help support this worthwhile cause!

The University of North Carolina (UNC) Hospitals Beacon Child and Family Program provides comprehensive, coordinated care to UNC Health Care System's patients, families, and employees experiencing a variety of family violence. - UNC Beacon Program web site

We love having Lisa's pillows at The Virginia Gail Collection.  Our clients love them too!

See Art? ArtSee.

It's always fun to find something new that really resonates on a personal level. 

This week Holly Johnson introduced me to artsee - for people who create, support and love art.  This beautifully produced journal is an art lovers dream.  There is an article about our local Chapel Hill jewel, the Ackland Art Museum, and includes articles about art, artisits, galleries and exhibitions in the Triangle and surrounding area.  What more could a girl want?  You can subscribe or pick up a free copy at The Virginia Gail Collection.
