WINE and dine

If you are an apartment or city dweller, it is exciting to trip across another fruit or veg that can grown in a container. A friend from Atlanta recently sent me pics of the grapevine she is growing in a container on her balcony. Potted grapes, seriously. The grapes aren’t miniature; it can just be grown a miniature scale. She claims it is going to produce fruit in its first year too! This next Call wants your miniatures — a maximum of 9 square inches. Printmaking shows aren’t that commons, so don’t miss this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: 25th Annual National Juried

Posted on August 16, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

NUTS for
LOBSTER

When I think of Georgia, I start craving lobster bisque. Yes, I know that Georgia is the Peach State, but as I have mentioned before… I have peach issues. Georgia conjures images of trips to Savannah with my mother for glorious lunches at the River House of Caesar salad made fresh at our table, rich and creamy lobster bisque, and a huge slice of pecan pies. You can’t touch that with peaches. So this next Call is over 250 miles from Savannah, but it is still Georgia. If you can’t find the bisque while at the opening, pecan pie can’t be far away…
