Peggy was an artist living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). She lived for over six years with ALS and was ventilator dependent since 2003. She was cared for by the amazing "Peg's Legs" caregivers and the "Healthcare Alternatives" team in her home gallery and studio in Honolulu, Hawaii. Peggy passed away on November 19th, 2008, but her legacy lives on...Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger504125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8893698988415177626.post-74504696713340030762010-05-28T23:27:00.000-07:002010-05-28T23:28:59.089-07:00Blog BreakAloha All...we will be taking a break from this blog as we get ready for the launch of our new www.peggychun.com site.

Just wanted to send a post out there in case anyone is still checking in with this blog...we are actually in the process of redoing the Peggy Chun website and am planning to have a new blog on the site, so that one will probably eventually take the place of this one, but I will keep you all posted on that. <br /><br />Hope you are all having a good start to your year...things have been a bit slow for the arts, but we are hopeful for this coming Year of the Tiger...the economic challenges have forced us to really take a good look at our business model and the systems we have in place. The challenges have also given us a great opportunity to grow and think creatively. We've had to cut back our staffing costs, so Karen is on "furlough" right now and Kelly is part-time. Karen's still busy as ever though, working at Zippy's and now at the Zoo gift shop part-time (not to mention spending lots of time with the grandkids). Pepper (and Kelly) are cute as ever!<br /><br />And while the gallery has presented us with some challenges this past year, 2010 is looking quite promising and exciting. I have been working with a committee to promote "Slow Art Fridays" in the Honolulu Arts District. This slower paced alternative to First Friday is every third Friday of the month. We've gotten a lot of great press and I was even on the news for a couple of morning shows. The momentum continues to grow and I'm confident that it will prove to be another successful monthly event for the area. Some of the restaurants are even beginning to do "Slow Art" menu specials and drinks! You all should come down for a Peg's Legs Slow Art Adventure...it is much more relaxed than First Friday and a really enjoyable night out. <br /><br />I am also excited to share that I have just been elected as President of the Arts District Merchants Association! I am serving with 2 vice presidents - Dave Stewart (Du Vin, Bar 35, Bambu 2.0) and Sandy Pohl (Louis Pohl Gallery), treasurer is Phuong Tran of Art Treasures Gallery, and secretary is Jackie Walden from Chinatown Boardroom. ADMA is basically an organization comprised of all the merchants in the area...the job comes with some work and challenges, but I am excited for the opportunity to support and positively impact the arts district! <br /><br />Eric and the kids are doing great. Indy is our little artist - she is absolutely PASSIONATE about creating. She loves art class and her art teacher...we enrolled her in an extracurricular art class at her school and she couldn't be happier. In fact, Indy's class in going to have an art show at our gallery in March. It kicks off March Slow Art Friday, so save the date! <br /><br />Elroy just got back from DC doing more advocacy work for the ALS Association. He also did his usual stopover in SF to visit family. He brought back a t-shirt for Sawyer from DC that said, "Future Member of U.S.Congress"!<br /><br />Maka and Cola are doing great. Cola has turned out to be the coolest cat I've ever met. She is so smart! If I don't get up early enough to feed her, she comes in and turns on my clock radio with her paw! How crazy is that?! She did get into quite a bit of trouble the other day, though...Indy had a little chrysalis in a bug jar and was waiting patiently for it to transform...she even named it "Franklin" and took it to show and tell. <br /><br />So the other day, Franklin turned into a butterfly. Eric was about to put it in bigger container but when he came back Cola was attacking it on the ground. She completely shredded its bright orange little butterfly wings. Poor thing. It was like, "Hello World!" and then SWAT!!!<br /><br />Needless to say, Indy was quite upset. We had a good cry and then gave Cola a time-out. Though, as Eric reminded us, it is her "nature". I found 2 more chrysalis that same night by our mailbox, so Indy named them "Bob" and "Frankin 2"...and the circle of life continues...<br /><br />Love to you all and hope you have a fabulous day...come down and visit us! Slow Art Friday is February 19th...oh and Happy Valentine's Day!!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhvIvdjY9kI8ZJegypL_rq-mUrhi9cOJtRg-EzbUIMU2IUzmtjT0G81qr2T3wsvZYFlTtOPgRzwzg70ZVQvTTvmxtA0mm7iNazMeFqQ1IwlWR0oGYpmyf3PxbhTfTfZ-ljwxbWb0S2AzM/s1600-h/Virginal.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 256px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhvIvdjY9kI8ZJegypL_rq-mUrhi9cOJtRg-EzbUIMU2IUzmtjT0G81qr2T3wsvZYFlTtOPgRzwzg70ZVQvTTvmxtA0mm7iNazMeFqQ1IwlWR0oGYpmyf3PxbhTfTfZ-ljwxbWb0S2AzM/s320/Virginal.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437067322701148338" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8893698988415177626.post-82477090252093807442010-01-05T11:20:00.000-08:002010-01-05T11:34:02.696-08:00Happy New Year!!!Happy New Year Peg's Legs! I will be sending out our Peggy Chun Gallery newsletter soon, but wanted you all to get the inside scoop first...we have 2 major things going on at the gallery this month - our first ever "Slow Art Friday" on January 15th, which is also the opening of our show featuring Arna Johnson and Geralyn Camarillo! <br /><br />Second, we are having a HUGE Peggy Chun artwork sale. It is no secret that 2009 was a rough one for businesses and the arts are really suffering. We are struggling and need to recover, we have big plans for 2010 and have faith that we can succeed and thrive in the Arts District, but we need your kokua! Please help us spread the word that we are having a huge sale - up to 50% off of Peggy Chun originals! The Peg's Legs have always been the best network! Help the Peggy Chun Gallery survive and thrive by spreading the word to support the arts! The whole Arts District thanks you!<br /><br />Here's more info on our upcoming events:<br /><br />Introducing Slow Art Friday! Friday, January 15, 2010 marks the first Slow Art Friday, which will be held on the third Friday of every month in the Downtown–Chinatown area from 5 to 9pm.<br />Slow Art Friday provides an evening for art lovers to view, discuss, and enjoy the Arts District at a slower pace, allowing time and space for thoughtful interaction and meaningful connection. Slow Art Friday seeks to encourage a shift towards slowing down, taking time to enjoy the moment, and fostering deeper connections to art, to people, and to life. It is inspired by the “Slow Movement”, a force that is sweeping the nation in response to the increase of stress, disconnect, and “time poverty” permeating our culture.<br /><br />Slow Art Friday celebrates the Opening Nights for art exhibits, and provides special local, organic, and traditional food and drink recipes at neighborhood bars and restaurants throughout the Arts District.<br /><br />Slow Art Friday is a new monthly event celebrating Honolulu culture in our pedestrian friendly urban core. It is a new, slower paced alternative to First Friday, with artist receptions and opportunities to foster a deep and fulfilling appreciation of the arts. Slow Art Friday is also designed to support one-of-a-kind businesses, and to keep dollars in the local economy.<br /><br />Arna Johnson & Geralyn Camarillo<br /><br />Our inaugural Slow Art Friday, Jan 15th, will be featuring the artistic and creative imagery of our dear friends Arna and Geralyn, collectively known as "Ulu Art" (www.uluart.com). Their artistic mission truly captures the essence of Slow Art. As they so eloquently put it, "We believe that by bringing colorful elements of nature indoors helps to promote an inner sense of calm and peace, allowing ourselves an opportunity for stillness, self-awareness, and a connection between mind, body, & spirit. It is through this process where we can become inspired by the divine, be open for self-reflection, and be able to make positive changes to ones environment and existence." <br /><br />Opening reception will be on Slow Art Friday, 5 to 9pm. <br /><br />Big Peggy Chun Art Sale<br /><br />In honor of the New Year and the start of Slow Art Friday, we are having a HUGE art sale - up to 50% off of all Peggy Chun originals and giclees. Come for Slow Art Friday and you'll find unbelievable steals! Don't miss this incredible opportunity to invest in a Peggy Chun original! If you would like to make an appointment to get a SNEAK PEEK of our big sale, please call us at 808-545-4810 or email Kimi!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8893698988415177626.post-56721639885158116802009-12-19T15:02:00.001-08:002009-12-19T15:20:58.229-08:00Happy Holidays!!!Aloha Legs! Hope you are all having a relaxing holiday experience! Ha! We've been busy with the gallery and craft shows, not to mention school Christmas programs and family stuff. But still, this Christmas feels much more scaled back and mellow than what we're used to! Good to have a more laid back Christmas experience...we miss Peggy terribly, but we sure don't miss all the crap she made us do! Ha! You Peg's Legs elves know what I'm talking about! :)<br /><br />I'm working the gallery today while the girls are working the Holiday Gift Fair (10am to 9pm) at the Blaisdell...then tomorrow Karen and I will be working the Gift Fair, 10am to 5pm. We'll be open at the gallery Tuesday/Wednesday, then we'll be taking a break until we open again after Christmas...<br /><br />Wishing you a happy holiday season. Thinking of you all...here are a few fun photos for you to enjoy!

What an AMAZING reunion!!!! So great to see all of you...for those of you who missed it, check out our photos <a href="http://pegslegs.shutterfly.com/">Peg's Legs on Shutterfly</a><br /><br />One of the highlights of the evening was the presentation of the beautiful quilt you see here. It was created by Peg's Leg Maile Ostrem with help from friend Rebecca Eldredge and fellow Leg Connie Carr...of course it couldn't have been possible without Marita Salassa stealing all of Peggy's favorite dresses and t-shirts! <br /><br />I know that all of you looking at this quilt will know how many memories are sewn into this creation! Each square brings up warm and fuzzy memories of our time with Peg...we spent so much time picking out her outfits for her and her clothes always expressed her whimsical sense of humor and her love of color! This is a gift we will truly treasure forever! Thank you thank you Thank you!<br /><br />Hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving...if you're up for walking off some of that turkey over the weekend, we'll be at the Blaisdell for the Islandwide Craft and Food Expo and the gallery will be open too! Black Friday weekend! <br /><br />I think most of you got the email from Suzanne, but just in case - here's what it said:<br /><br />We would like to extend a discount of 20% off any purchase at Peggy Chun Gallery to the Peg's Legs Ohana...and a FREE Peggy Chun Gallery reusable tote with purchase, now through December 25. The code word is "Peg's Legs"! :)<br /><br />So make it a Peggy Chun Christmas!!! We definitely appreciate all your support as we try to survive and thrive in this economy. <br /><br />Love to all of you and hope to see you soon...once a year is too little! Any ideas for events to get us all together before the next annual Peg's Legs reunion? Eric suggested movie nights at the gallery - we can project movies on the big white walls! Sounds fun!

Here goes:<br /><br />First of all, the big news is that yes, the Father Damien portrait made it to Rome! To best tell the story, here are a few links of some of the press we received:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0904423.htm/">catholicnews.com</a><br /><br /><a href="http://kgmb9.com/main/content/view/21662/303/">kgmb9.com</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2358606/posts/">freerepublic.com</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.starbulletin.com/features/featuresstories/20091011_Papal_gift_fulfills_final_wish.html/">starbulletin.com</a><br /><br />The painting is also going to be used by Bess Press as the cover art for a translated comic book about Father Damien. Check that out here:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.besspress.com/productdetails.cfm?PC=575/">www.besspress.com</a><br /><br />Exciting stuff! Also exciting news about two of our favorite mamas - Rhea Olsen gave birth on August 20th to Logan Kenneth Olsen and Ania Hawajska gave birth on October 16 to Luke Kai Waters. Both moms (and dads) are doing great! Congratulations all!<br /><br />The year has been racing by and here we are already almost at Halloween! We've had a lot of fun showing Russell and Fabienne's work here at the gallery and now we are gearing up for a big Halloween Day sale and at night we are a part of the Art District's Hallowbaloo Arts & Music Festival. <br /><br />The kids plan on trick-or-treating in Nuuanu with the Seglers of course. This year Sawyer has decided to be Spiderman and Indy has chosen to be a Fairy Princess. The kids are doing great, enjoying school, getting funnier and smarter everyday. Our furry kids are doing great too - Maka doesn't know what he's going to be for Halloween yet and Cola says she's going as "Boo", which is totally cheating - that's like wearing one of those t-shirts that says, "This is my Halloween Costume".<br /><br />Since Halloween is just around the corner, that means November is just around the corner too! And that means our reunion is coming up! As you know, we had to move it to Thursday, November 19th. I think it was meant to be this way, since that is the exact anniversary of Peggy's death. I think it will be a beautiful opportunity to get together, reconnect, reflect, and remember. <br /><br />I will be sending out an evite very soon. I think I have everyone's email, but please let me know if you don't get the evite. And please let people know that everyone is welcome, just RSVP to me via email. <br /><br />Let's see...Elroy is doing great. He's been attending a lot of the HIFF films - pointing out this son and daughter-in-law in the trailer to the people sitting next to him, no doubt - ha ha!! Wonder if people believe him! <br /><br />The gallery girls, Karen, Kelly, and Pepper are all doing great as well...we could use more customers, so please keep sending people our way! And come visit us when you're in the area - we miss you all!!!<br /><br />That's it for now! Be on the lookout for that evite coming soon!!

Hope you are all doing well. We talk to some of you here and there, but we sure do miss you all...We can't believe that it is already September...imagine that almost a year has passed since Peggy's death. I feel like this has been a time of transition...a time of regrouping and re-grounding, adjusting to life as it is now. I think I'm still getting used to it, still adjusting. <br /><br />In many ways, I don't feel like Peggy has left us. Perhaps it is because we are surrounded by her art everyday and we get to share her story again and again with customers that come through our gallery. Opening the Peggy Chun Gallery in April was just the best way to honor her and carry on her legacy. I take comfort in seeing her name and photo everyday, seeing her art, sharing it with the world...I love and treasure the fact that she is still a party of my everyday. <br /><br />We're doing great at the gallery, especially on First Fridays. We could use more customers and more sales to grow the business, but at the end of the day, it is just business and that is a lot less stressful than what we were doing. I feel like compared to managing Peggy's care, running her home business, and facing astronomical medical bills; running a gallery is a cakewalk! <br /><br />We are having so much fun being down here in the heart of the arts district. We love being a part of the community and enjoy the eccentricity of Chinatown. Guess we got used to "crazy" at Peggy's house, so the neighborhood's quirky charm feels familiar and quite entertaining. <br /><br />But what Karen, Kelly, and I miss the most is getting to see all of you regularly. We miss the bedside banter and sorority house feel that was our everyday at Peggy's house. We miss hearing all of your stories, laughing together, talking about everything and nothing...<br /><br />When Peggy was leaving this world and I knew that life as we knew it was soon to end, I remember being so focused on ways that we could keep the Peg's Legs going, keep the momentum, keep the energy and bonding of the group. But as this year has gone by, I see clearly that I was trying to hold on too tightly to what was. I see now how important is was to be able to let everyone go, let everyone regroup and re-ground themselves, adjust to life without Peggy in your own way. <br /><br />I also see that there was no thing to do or thing to say to keep the group together and bonded, because the sheer act of what we did for Peggy all those years will forever bond us together, whether we see each other once a week or once a year. We are forever Peg's Legs. <br /><br />So, as we near the anniversary of Peggy's passing, we'd like to share 3 special "save the dates" with all of you...we have a few events coming up that will be opportunities to get together and catch up, be together, celebrate where we've been and where we're going...so here they are:<br /><br />1 - October First Friday at the Peggy Chun Gallery, October 2 from 5pm to 9pm - Our featured artists for October's First Friday are Peggy's dear friends Russell Lowrey & Fabienne Blanc. We are so excited to show their work...this is their first show in many years and we are honored to have them at our gallery!<br /><br />2 - "Na Hoa Malama” - An event celebrating Hospice Hawaii's 30th anniversary!<br />Saturday, November 7th at Waialae Country Club - They will be honoring the rich lives of some of the extraordinary people whom they have cared for including:<br /><br />Peggy Chun, beloved artist<br />Aunty Genoa Keawe, musical legend<br />Charles Cooke Spalding, philanthropist & founder of Boys & Girls Clubs of Hawaii<br /><br />You all should be receiving invitations in the mail soon, but if you don't, please contact Hospice Hawaii. They interviewed myself, Eric, and Elroy for a video piece they will be showing that night!<br /><br />3 - Peg's Legs Reunion cocktail party at the Peggy Chun Gallery - Friday, November 20, 5pm to 8pm. I'm envisioning Peggy's favorite cocktails and pupus - Tangerine Tickles, Oven roasted tomatoes, opihi, etc.! We welcome any other ideas you all have! <br /><br />OK Legs, love to all of you and looking forward to seeing you soon!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8893698988415177626.post-28964544847618250902009-08-24T19:07:00.001-07:002009-08-24T19:08:24.585-07:00HIFF TrailerHey Legs - here's something fun that Eric and I got to do!

I know, I know...these blog posts are getting farther and father in between. I have Summer Fever for sure. It took us quite a while to readjust to "real life" after our vacation! But we're back in the swing of things and working hard on the gallery, gearing up for Fall...<br /><br />A couple weekends ago, we participated in the Haleiwa Arts Festival. This was our last year participating with Peggy's art, since the rules of the festival dictate that the artists must be alive and able to represent themselves. We were honored when they invited us to participate this year in memory of Peggy. We did really well over the weekend and had an opportunity to speak to many of our Haleiwa Festival friends and customers and let them know about our new gallery. <br /><br />Next up on our calendar is First Friday. We are having our guest artists (Sean Gallagher and Amber Chesebro) from last month's First Friday event, return again for August...they have been busy making new jewelry for this month's event. They just got an awesome write up in Sunday's Advertiser by Paula Rath - yay!<br /><br />First Friday lands on August 7th, which happens to be Elroy and Julie Percell's birthday! This is the start of many birthdays...Peggy's dad's bday is on the 6th, Lisa's birthday is on the 11th, Jen Segler's birthday is on the 17th, my mom's is on the 19th, and Sawyer turns 3 on August 25th...Happy birthday, all!<br /><br />Speaking of my mom, she is fully enjoying her retirement. She is busy with lots of projects, yoga, and she has been helping me with the business and the kids! I think Eric put it best last night...my mom had picked up Sawyer from school, made us quiches for dinner, cleaned up the kitchen, then she put the kids in the bath! Eric said to me, "Your mom is so awesome." Indeed. <br /><br />So back to the month ahead, after First Friday, we have our big expo of the year - the Made in Hawaii Festival at the Blaisdell! This year, it falls on August 21 to 23. I'm really looking forward to it - this year we are planning to offer special show prices, we're looking at getting some promotional reusable Peggy Chun bags, and we have cute "Lily Love" stickers for the keiki. <br /><br />We're having so much fun working on the business. We're really focused on trying to bring more customers to our gallery. We do great on First Friday, but we are really trying to boost traffic and sales the rest of the month...this is true for the entire Arts District of Honolulu...so if you have any ideas...send them our way!!!<br /><br />We're working on plans for a Peg's Legs Reunion/early Christmas party in November...we're tentatively looking at the weekend before Thanksgiving - Saturday, November 21...save the date and let us know what you think! <br /><br />Let's see...what else...the kids are doing great. Indy is still out of school until the end of August. Sawyer is back in preschool and seems to be enjoying it well enough. He is "Child of the Week" this week in his classroom, so we had to do a little interview with him on all of his favorite things. Among his favorite things to do - "play with my sister, go to Grandma and Papa's house, play ball with Gung Gung, go Fun Factory, go to the beach and find shells, watch PBS Kids, play Wii, snuggle and do 'group hug' with mommy, daddy, and sister"...ahhh, the simple things in life. He also told us that when he grows up he wants to be a "big boy" and a tree trimmer like daddy. <br /><br />Indy just finished up 2 weeks of "Dance Camp" at the Dance Space at University Square. She really enjoyed it - they did a little of everything - belly dance, hula, jazz, ballet, African, Tahitian...she had a blast! <br /><br />Eric is doing great...he's busy with tree trimming, working on our house projects, and catching the summer swells. Elroy is fine as well. He comes to the gallery and our house regularly to check in on us! He's still as busy as ever...I'd love to get a pedometer on him and see how many steps that man takes in a day!<br /><br />I haven't forgotten that I promised some photos from our trip to Lake City, so here a few family photos of our fun and relaxation! Enjoy!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY-keD2DTrtV34LW1AAjVnJsZb5pe03grACVtkQmqB7mvUnfJvb_qRvurJ4wzLZN2I3w8Hw2n5-9ch3JUd6K0Ut8KccEWzP-QQ_DMOML76rUJYX-G2Bu4vv-dg6JX_CX_zKHZuGwoKch0/s1600-h/Blog+-+5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY-keD2DTrtV34LW1AAjVnJsZb5pe03grACVtkQmqB7mvUnfJvb_qRvurJ4wzLZN2I3w8Hw2n5-9ch3JUd6K0Ut8KccEWzP-QQ_DMOML76rUJYX-G2Bu4vv-dg6JX_CX_zKHZuGwoKch0/s320/Blog+-+5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363568545179947634" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisuDtFCM2lcmKnz6FvbB6R9IabjIoeVEMuS4IPMw4XAW_wz1YfKfqpdSTcCdra06i8PNzKBEqIZMk0lTj7I27i3qMAHAALQP9q8vPovnewG7Hu7Dc32gpor_gGMJ-BDww7AiaTx9PxCFQ/s1600-h/Blog+-+4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisuDtFCM2lcmKnz6FvbB6R9IabjIoeVEMuS4IPMw4XAW_wz1YfKfqpdSTcCdra06i8PNzKBEqIZMk0lTj7I27i3qMAHAALQP9q8vPovnewG7Hu7Dc32gpor_gGMJ-BDww7AiaTx9PxCFQ/s320/Blog+-+4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363568541939678146" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOFJNSXN7nRAuxuWg2CJ3cDjvlqRAkczvOpWdMWQF79PZg9qBLaa3v-Kcr-R2Uadb_yws1c6Xf-JXRMr0IyN-Q-uA2asiu5eM263cuvd-SLoWoKpHLSQhIaKGMpiUEliIgxJleCA5SaNY/s1600-h/Blog+-+3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOFJNSXN7nRAuxuWg2CJ3cDjvlqRAkczvOpWdMWQF79PZg9qBLaa3v-Kcr-R2Uadb_yws1c6Xf-JXRMr0IyN-Q-uA2asiu5eM263cuvd-SLoWoKpHLSQhIaKGMpiUEliIgxJleCA5SaNY/s320/Blog+-+3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363568536300672498" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2OhPLg2uKyfsx0ZKQSMlQmFSzUTHLA8uTTgBp7ccpEBqTlhQ7xgB3AnfL_g3Vd0AY-NRU62Mhc41qd90LlU9ZDTczOvAiNpjq_JWwvkYw1D2yVPinjAdwfs998gGy1UxsGIc7CmEAiWI/s1600-h/Blog+-+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2OhPLg2uKyfsx0ZKQSMlQmFSzUTHLA8uTTgBp7ccpEBqTlhQ7xgB3AnfL_g3Vd0AY-NRU62Mhc41qd90LlU9ZDTczOvAiNpjq_JWwvkYw1D2yVPinjAdwfs998gGy1UxsGIc7CmEAiWI/s320/Blog+-+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363568530227112242" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwvoVCh8DbptdZG6QK48ucag7RgBpfVH3v-qQPSpsojEdzdLvnKEgseYHhXXWCf5Wzie6PmWHYDv9htBWwJJHUdGzRX0lSgZedDZsMggepY2eYHM9nnh-dHgZjx6P-e6eGjZi61lyTMFw/s1600-h/Blog+-+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwvoVCh8DbptdZG6QK48ucag7RgBpfVH3v-qQPSpsojEdzdLvnKEgseYHhXXWCf5Wzie6PmWHYDv9htBWwJJHUdGzRX0lSgZedDZsMggepY2eYHM9nnh-dHgZjx6P-e6eGjZi61lyTMFw/s320/Blog+-+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363568527040078706" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8893698988415177626.post-83286272268001797442009-07-09T17:26:00.000-07:002009-07-09T17:31:42.492-07:00We're Baaack!Just a quick note to say hello!

Exciting!<br /><br />So, I'm in hyper-productivity mode trying to get things all set before I go. I will be missing July's First Friday, which lands on July 3 - so please come and give some support to Karen and Kelly who will me holding down the fort while I'm away! We are already planning July's First Friday event...we are having some very cool jewelers in the gallery to show their stuff - I'm sad I'm gonna miss it, but I'm working hard getting it all set up before I go...<br /><br />That's about it for now...Indy is enjoying the start of her summer...she and I worked on a list of things she wanted to do this summer - the list goes on and on and on...in fact, it reminds me so much of a Peggy List!!! Sawyer is in year round preschool so he is not thrilled about having to go to school when Indy stays home, but we're working through it...he does have tomorrow off since it is Kamehameha Day...I'll have them here at the gallery with me for a fun day...they'll get to play with Pepper! And Rhea is coming to visit us tomorrow here at the gallery! Yay! We can't wait to see her and her prego belly!!! :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8893698988415177626.post-21519258422262243012009-06-04T14:12:00.001-07:002009-06-04T14:24:07.952-07:00Happy Birthday, Peggy!Today would have been Peggy's 63rd birthday. I have been thinking of her today and remembering all the fun and wacky ways we celebrated her birthday with her...remember the "Over the Hedge" animal movie party at Ward Theaters, the Enchanted Forest Women's Party...Last year on this day we were creating the "Peg's Legs Cafe" and getting ready for Peggy's Birthday High Tea Party...Peggy's birthdays were always so full of love, laughter, flowers...<br /><br />Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this special day. We hope to see you all for First Friday tomorrow night 5 to 9pm here at the gallery! Aima will be here showing her gorgeous dresses and Chenoa will be showing her exquisite jewelry...fun stuff!
