My painting was accepted for donation at Le Nichoir/Wildcard

I really have to make sure from here on in when I finish a painting and sell/give or donate that I take a picture. It seems to be a bad habit that I have. I found it on line at Le Nichoir

Anyhow, my painting was accepted and will be auctioned off by Le Nichoir/ Wildcard which is an association here in Montreal that help wild birds. Here is the link to the artists that works were accepted: http://www.lenichoir.org/wildcard/html/artists.html


The Wildcard Collection
Through the generosity of artists, Le Nichoir is building a Wildcard collection that will be sold November 19th during a cocktail event at Collège Sainte-Anne in Lachine, QC. See Sale for details of the event. 100% of the proceeds from the sale will go towards the building of a new wild bird rehabilitation centre in Hudson, QC. Visit Le Nichoir's website for further details of the New Centre project.
Each donated work is 5"x7" and is signed only on the reverse. The artist's name is only revealed once the purchase is complete and the card is turned over. With so many artists participating in the project the fun is in the speculation!

Preview the Wildcard Collection
The public is invited to preview the Wildcard collection at two locations this year. This is your opportunity to plan your purchases at the November 19th sale or, just enjoy the collection in a relaxed atmosphere.
Volunteers from Le Nichoir will be on hand so come and learn more about Le Nichoir and the New Centre project.

End of a collection #Breweriana

 For years my hubby and I collected Breweriana items. It started with beer glasses and within a year or two without realizing it, we had over 100 displayed in our A frame window ledge. Then it was coasters from every bar or restaurant we visited. The next level was Beer trays which we eventually sold off. This all started when we were making our own beer even managed to find the old quart size bottles and the cases. As with most collections it grows without even noticing. You know it's out of control when you need to clean over 100 glasses, twice a year. We still pick up glasses, coasters and trays here and there but more for reselling. This is the last bit of the collection that we no longer display and all the coasters have a pin hole as they were mounted in our basement on our barn wood walls. They are in relatively good condition for the next collector to come along and purchase them. Poshmark.ca/closet/bpagani Thank you for checking them out.  update this batch which had lots
