CHASE AWAY WINTER BREAK BOREDOM!

How long after Christmas will it be till the kids start saying "WE'RE BORED"?? Well, Serendip has a plan to help prevent that.



We'll be offering three children's classes for the week after Christmas.



Monday, December 28, Kids Kandlemaking. From 11:oo a.m. to noon, Angela Buckley will teach kids from ages 4-14 a safe and easy way to make rolled beeswax candles, and the kids will take their creations home! Cost is $12 per participant, and all materials will be provided.



Tuesday, December 29, frm 1:30-3:00, is Laura Neal's Kids Can Bead Class. Children aged 8 and up will learn to make a memory wire bracelet and an optional memory wire necklace. Cost is $12 for each child, or $20 each if they want to make a necklace, also. Laura will provide all the materials, but if the student has a special charm or bead to use, they should bring it along.



On Wednesday, December 30, from 2:00-3:30: Teresa Morbitzer's Winter Wonderland Watercolor class will teach children aged 6-12 masking and wash techniques. Students will take home their painting of a forest of birch trees. Class costs $25 dolloars, plus a $5 supply fee.



All three of these classes require pre-registration, so be sure to call or email to hold a place for your young artists!!

OH, WHAT A NIGHT

Wow! Last night's Final Friday-- Serendip's first ever-- was a huge success. Some of our favorite customers, plus some new ones, joined us for wonderful autumn snacks and great sales. Many must-have items were discounted for the evening, and we took the occasion to welcome the addition of two more artists: Doug and Cheryl Kneisley, and Mandij's Toffee.


Cheryl and Doug Kneisley offer for your pleasure brilliant underwater photography. The Kneisleys have captured colorful ocean life on film throughout many tropical dives, and have brought these refreshing and vivid images to The Market at Serendip.



Another addition is Mandij's Toffee; a delectable hand-created confection perfect for gift giving or your own secret pleasure. Just wait till you taste it!!

He didn't buy a dog collar!


Well, if this guy'd bought one of Dog Dazzle's Dog Collars, he wouldn't have even been in the running for the annual Ugly Dog Contest.

Serendip's AMY GASPARD is headed toward stardom!

Amy Gaspard, whose elegant beaded flowers, hair accessories, and wire & bead bonsai are featured at Serendip, has been declared a finalist in the Fire Mountain Gems 2009 Beading Contest! Amy submitted her ethereal crystal cherry tree to the contest. She was recently notified that she is a finalist, so shipped the actual art to Oregon to be judged in person for the second round.


The tree is formed from brown-colored copper wire, seed beads, and about 110 Swarovski crystal flowers. It's mounted on a sheet-moss covered 3 pound rock and sits in a display dome. A photo barely does justice to her meticulous work; from the complex yet elegant root system to the gently turned tree trunk, to the intricate branches touched by glimmering crystals that sparkle in the least light...


Let's all give a quick finger-cross to send our support to Amy for her unique and elegant artwork, and help the judges at Fire Mountain realize what we already know-- this art is definitely award-worthy!!
