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!!

ELEGANT EMBELLISHMENTS

Sunday, 11/29, Noon-4:00 p.m. Florist Quality Bow Tying and Demonstration. Serendip's Susie Lowder, veteran professional floral designer, will offer free bow tying (up to 5 bows per person) and demonstration for those who want to learn! Bring in your own ribbon from any local craft store, or purchase from a limited amount available at Serendip. Susie will tie your bows while you watch (or while you browse the truly unique art & gift items and art available at Serendip!).

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!!
