PA Field trip to the Stacy Clark Doll Exhibit






















Last Sunday and Monday , Tery, Stephanie and myself took a trip to Heidi's house in Pennsylvania. We had a beautiful lunch that Heidi made for us along with Stephanies famous totellini soup!! Actually Heidi made a fantastic soup with potatoes and kalbasi..I had both!









Our main plan for the get together was to visit the Schwenkfelder Library and Museum to see a doll exhibit by an artist named Stacy Clark. When we arrived...Stacy was there to meet us. WOW....you must "FEEL' this exhibit...that is what i did when I saw it..I "FELT" the Artist's energy and creativity.... As Stacy explained how she Might touch people of all ages with Her "Fairy Tale" dolls.... my eyes filled up and I got a lump in my throat..because I understood so clearly that the younger children BELIEVE , and the Older people REMEMBER , and the "tweeners" in between are HOPING and CREATING. Every where you looked tyhere were dolls, and when you thought you saw them all...you magically found another to see. Stacy used some very cool techniques to create texture in her dolls and animals and clothing. The Visit was breathtaking and inspiring and i'm so happy that I made the Journey. Check out the pictures, but you need to go see this !!!!
We went back to Heidis...oh, we stopped at DQ by my request, and then we ordered Pizza for dinner.....followed by a Ribbon Rose class that Stephanie gave...little kits and all!!! It was a real Party!!! haha
But on Monday we went to a "two Guys" type store named JoMar....(remember Two Guys)"??? ...and much to our amazement...we found some awsome fabric, lace and trims. at "amazing " prices!
