Summer 2013!!

The Galliott Studios girls are excited about summer!! So we thought we would update the blog and tell you about our opening day on June the first!

Not only are we supper excited about all the fun we’ll be having this year, its also our 5^th year in business!! So of course that means a party! Galliott style! 

Stay tuned for updates, can’t wait to see you and share all the fun

A fond farewell...for now!

Well, it's that time of year again. We've packed away the art and closed up for the season. It's been a wonderful summer and we've loved seeing so many of you. We hope you've enjoyed reading our blog and hearing about what's going on in Galliott Studios.

We'll be having lots more fun activites next summer and will be back blogging in June, so check back with us then. We'd love to hear about your wintery art projects and you can contact us through the facebook page http://www.facebook.com/groups/109444492190/

We're heading off for some long awaited hikes and hoping the sunshine holds out! We're looking forward to spending the winter working on our art and planning fun stuff for next summer!

We'll see you then!

Packing up

Well, it's that time of year. We're packing up the art and getting ready to shut down for the season. Here's a photo of our walls looking a bit bare. Jenn's dancing, it makes us feel better about packing away all of the art!

Our friend Justin came to help us. He's a wicked good musician, we're massive fans. Here's a link! http://www.justinmahoney.ca/

Hurricaaaaaaane!

We're battening down the hatches here at Galliott Studios. Hurricane Leslie is headed right for us. We've brought all the furniture in off the wharf and made sure the windows are closed tight. The wind is already picking up and the bay is pretty choppy. It's raining hard and our poor house is leaky! No fear though, Galliott Studios is warm and cozy and water tight!

The hurricane's meant to hit on Tuesday but we reckon it's already started! Liv's never been in a hurricane before and she's a bit worried. Both of us Galliott Studios girls are wondering if we'll be waking up in Woody Point, Kansas or Oz tomorrow. Who knows?!

A run in with the law!

Here's a fact for you: Liv loves mounties. In particular, tall handsome mounties in their red garb. They're intimidating, but fabulous.

She loves them enough that when one walked past the Studio she ran outside and chased him down the road to get a photo. Here it is, the Galliott Studios girls with Mr Mountie and his law enforcement buddies!

Captains revisited

As promised, a photo of Liv finishing the cruise ship captain's bags. They'll be receiving them today, so fingers crossed they like them!

Goodies for the Captains!

This weekend we'll be visited by not one, but two cruise ships! We like it when the cruise ships come in. It means we have lots of new people to chat to. And we like looking at the boats!

A few posts back you may remember that we were making espresso cups for goody bags for the Writers at Woody Point crowd. And we're making treats for the cruise ship captains. Woody Point loves a good goody bag it seems!

This time around we've been entrusted with making the bags themselves. Pressure! However, we've stepped up to the task and felted lovely bags for the captains of both ships. The welcome committee will fill them with lots of lovely prezzies and hopefully the captains will really enjoy them!

We'll try posting a photo once the gremlin leaves the electrics and we can get Jenn's phone working!
