I've been pretty busy since my last post. Last weekend I was very surprised by a Surprise 50th Birthday party. We went to a Moroccan restaurant in Sydney, friends and family all there waiting - it was so atmospheric ... we were showered in rose petals as we entered the restaurant, before being served up a Moroccan banquet by warm and attentive waiters. It was such a lovely surprise and along with an overnight stay in Sydney, made for a perfect, whirlwind weekend.
This week I spent a lot of time in the studio playing with paint, and on Wednesday I went down to Sydney yet again to meet my sisters, niece and nephew who came with me to see my first ever public exhibit of my paintings! What a feeling!!
We took the ferry down the Parramatta River out to Western Sydney where 16 of my paintings were on show.
Then when I got home, a package from the USA was waiting for me. I won a giveaway on Olivia's blog Happyluau Thank You so much Olivia!
Sounds like some major birthday and life celebrations down your way, Patti ! Congrats and well-deserved !!!

Big Love to you !
Patti...you are on a ROLL! Congratulations on your exhibition...they look wonderful hung up and it's interesting to see their actual size rather than on your blog. They're much larger than I imagined. And the party sounds wonderful...rose petals! How special is that!
ReplyDeleteYou are bathed in the light of a star showering sweet blessings upon you right now...and you deserve it all. Much love, Kate

ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have your paintings on display. I was excited for you just recognizing them in these photos! WAY TO GO!! And congrats on your Birthday celebration. It must have been just fantastic!
ReplyDeleteIt was a real buzz to see all those paintings I know so well up "on stage" - a bit like seeing my nieces and nephews performing in a school play. I was as proud as Punch.
