Blogging About Twitter and a Pear

Lately I've been investing in artificial pears. Suddenly I've got a pile of them here and most recently I've listed them on the web site. The plan today is to find the gold leaf and start gilded them for some holiday decoration. And maybe, that will lead to a newsletter. It's not exactly a documentary but maybe it's worth a durwinrice Twitter of attention.

Okay, That Was Fun!

Thanks to Ron and Emily for participating in a low-key introductory class today! So nice we've decided to re-post a class time for next Saturday, December 13th.

Join Us!

Kansas City, About Where We're Now Located

The locals have been stopping by and regaling us with their stories and adventures of how difficult a time they had finding us...it's not really that hard, they find out, once they know where they are heading....4518 Troost Avenue.

The last guy made a good point we think....maybe we ought to post the new location on our website. We thought we had. Maybe we decided everybody already knew.

Never matter....we are now ensconced at the New Hoboken Capitol Building....no, not in the New Jersey home of Frank Sinatra....but rather, right here on Troost Avenue which is still where we want to be!

Lori, About That Wood Purse

On opening our customerservice@durwinrice.com email today, it seemed there was an inquiry from Lori about one of our wood purses. But instead, the world wide web only delivered us a blank screen and not even a return email address!

So, since 'tis the season and we know that this post will appear at the top of our Home Page....we just thought we'd give it a try and say hey, Lori...what is it you wanted to know?

How To Decoupage Studio Class this Saturday

Saturday's 2 hour Introductory Decoupage Class time has changed. It now begins at 11AM at 4518 Troost Avenue. You'll learn to decoupage like a pro in just two hours and then, while your work of art is drying, there'll be a free Gold Leafing demonstation. Studio class fee is $45.00...all your supplies, artwork and materials are included.

Should be fun!

You can sign up for the Studio Class on our Workshops Shopping Cart Page.

Okay, We're Not Perfect Yet But At Least We're Working Hard...Most Of The Time.

Sometimes you just have to jump into the water.

We're pretty sure we haven't dotted each & every i.

Here's hoping you'll look on the brighter side.

Happy Cutting Comrades!
