TOAE and Rosemount Inn

ByCarolynMB July 4, 2007

Long time no post, been very busy and don’t seem to get time to write. Anyway, I just had to today right before we leave for Toronto to participate in the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition. This will be my 11th year and I feel very fortunate to be juried back in once again.

I was invited to the Rosemount Inn here in Kingston by innkeeper Holly for an afternoon of a demonstration of spa products…. and who’s name gets chosen for the facial!!!! Yours truly got to don a scrummy white robe and wrap and spend the next 40 minutes on a bed being pampered…..too bad I don’t have a photo… I’m radiant!!!

Well, that was a delish treat before a hard working weekend…. I think I’ll take myself in for a body wrap after that’s all over.

November Workshops & Events.

I love taking workshops! Even though I have been doing what I do for 31 years I am always learning, we learn until we are gone. Learning new felting techniques. November afforded me the opportunity to take a workshop with Marjolein Dallinger of Bloomfelt.com. Her work is inspirational even if we don’t actually pursue that…
