Though I have been in Blacksburg since Halloween 2009, not until I met the folks at Main-Lee Art Gallery did the phrase “First Friday” ever reach my ears. The words reference an open house occurring once a month for art galleries across major cities in the United States. I was excited to participate in Main-Lee Art’s very First Friday hosting since they opened. The artists and I were not sure who would attend, but we all wanted a fun night.

There was a nice crowd which appeared right at 5 o’clock that evening, and in an hour Main-Lee was packed. The fingerfoods were a delight and some of the more savory ones were gobbled up faster than expected. The gallery hopping continued to Judy Garbera’s Art Pannonia where she and her son Andy were hosting their First Friday. All I can say is that Andy makes an awesome foie gras pate, and that the paintings featured in that gallery would make wonderful additions to any room.

Of course since the London Underground Pub is nestled in between both galleries, we had a MUST stop for a bottle of champagne. Why the bubbly? Well every Friday the Blacksburg Martinettes meet between 5 and 7 o’clock for a TGIF Happy Hour and toast the end of the week with at least a bottle of champagne. From all the fun we had, this First Friday is only the beginning! =:8

A week ago I was looking for donations of yarn, needles, and notions towards a charity event (see my last blog entry) in which absolutely no profit is made. I am pleased to announce that the owner of Kollage Yarns, Susan Moraca, is donating all the yarn. Her generosity is not going to be unnoticed, and I want everybunny around the world to hear how her gesture is a great example of one of “My 3 Words” for 2010 — CARE.

Inspired by Justin Steinman’s recent blog post, I must admit that I needed to take my reins back into possession and have done it close to ten days time. So for a slight moment I am popping up out from my rabbit hole to catch a breath of the gorgeous warm air that enveloped Blacksburg this past weekend. Spring became my favorite season back in 1999 when I walked away from a bad beginning to create a better life for myself. I hope others will do the same when the opportunity knocks.

Currently I have been involved in a quick and fast move of events. In ten days’ time I have gone from a car accident, to changing where I work locally, to moving into new living quarters. If anybunny ever wants to visit little me in the New River Valley area of Virginia Tech, I can be found volunteering at the Main Lee Art Gallery instead of the LYS. Being there with the artists and their clients gives me a vibrant glow, and I also will be assisting them in their social media areas pro bono. See you there or at the London Underground Pub! =:8
