My good friend, Jill, has a sweet little store called Westwood Paper Co., where I have worked and sold some of my custom canvases for the past few years. She graciously invited us to have a book signing in her store and is selling our book, too.
She had everything set up so pretty and had invited all of her customers to come. We had a steady stream of people coming through. We made some new friends, and visited with some little ones...specifically, this one...little LeeLee. How cute is she?
LeeLee's talented mom is a good friend of Jill's. Jill took a little time out to read our book to LeeLee:
After the signing, Anne and I went to lunch at Serendipity; a lovely tea room in Carmel's Art & Design District. They are selling our book there and at their sister tea room in Zionsville, IN, called Serenity. The owner, Karin, sat with us and told us the history of the building that Serendipity is located in. It was orignally a bank, in Carmel's early years, and the vault is still there. She told us it was once the sight of a burglary by notorious gangster, John Dillinger. Fascinating, right?! We dined by our book on display. Way cool!
Congrats on what looks like a wonderful Friday the 13th! Between the book (that sounds terrific) and Jill’s hospitality, it appears customers were treated to a very special day.
Good luck with the continuation of the series; high five to Jill for creating such a fun day for all.
