Incredible thanks from the bottom of my blackest boots!

Wonderful things happen when people get together to celebrate, share, and give. There are more people every day donating to the auction and volunteering. This can't happen without everyone's enthusiasm and rockin' spirit! Thanks to all for your donations, your artistic talent, your time, and your kick ass Cirque-ifiable magic, un abrazo and we will see you at Bocado!

xoxoxoxo, Michelle

artistic inspiration

Found in a church attic in Worcester Massachusetts, almost sold for 25 dollars at a yard sale, now hanging. So inspired by Slow Art yesterday, my mind is open and voraciously consuming imagery today. With brilliant foliage and a snowy downfall, today in Worcester is surreal. Visit the Worcester Art Museum soon. We have such brilliant art so close to home. If you are reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown, you may want to see the Albrecht Dürer's woodcut print hanging there. A little tid bit below:

Haberdash Saturday/ Cirque Swap Tuesday

The Haberdash is over on Harrison Street today, and Amy tells me that there are some black articles that may be of interest to Cirque du Noir guests getting ready to rock the black. Super sweet coup for 50% off/print the page and get there!

I will be at SLOW ART this morning, at the WAM, but heading over later. Happy beautiful fall day.

If any artists/designers/people with cool stuff, want to donate to the auction, we still have a little room. Your donation is your much appreciated ticket to Cirque. Thank you Bocado for hooking us up with the Tuesday night rendezvous in the Bodega.

A special thanks to Mike Donofrio of Vertical World Adventures, who has offered 2 "passports to adventure", that means a fantastic outdoor experience for two lucky prize winners!

Dr. Gonzo has also noted that he would like to spice things up with a collection of Uncommon Condiments. If you like it hot, visit Dr. Gonzo's Emporium down on Main Street. The sign says topless, but I would throw something on!
