Green Christmas

Archibald Street on Christmas day, 2009. Not much snow around, front or back. Those who got cross country skis or sleds are out of luck. Great for travellers though - although air flights will now be a hassel and slow. Hope everyone had a good Christmas and All the Best in 2010.

Best Wishes from Arty and Tassel

Thought I'd bring Arty and Professor Tassel together (old stuff rearranged) to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. A new gallery has opened recently; the Attic Painters have brought out an impressive calendar; there's art in the Marigold Centre and at the Heritage Cafe. Think, give art for Christmas and throughout the year.

Tassel as Santa

Needed a bit of Christmas, Here's Santa Tassel greeting waving to people at the entrance to the NSCC (Truro), formerly the campus of the Nova Scotia Teachers college. Behind the electronic sign, one can see the Little white Schoolhouse Museum.

Visual voice Fine Art

Just in time for Christmas shopping. New art gallery in Truro. Check it out. Support Art!

Susan's Open House

Be sure to check out Susan Sweet's Open House and the Maitland Christmas Festival on the Weekend of Nov. 28-29. Susan is a fine artist, (and also a good cook). Get a start on your Christmas shopping with a short, pleasant trip to Maitland, "a happening place."

Arty - a Torch Bearer

The Truro Art Society had an early Christmas Party a short while ago. It was the same night as the Olympic Torch Run reached Truro. (Events often conflict in Truro.) It seemed appropriate that Arty, our cartoon mascot, should appear on the cake carrying a torch. Happy 40th to TAS. Congratulation, Arty, on your torch run. Thanks, Janice, for the cake and the photo.

Vesta

Vesta reminded me that we haven't had any mice on this blog for awhile.

This is Vesta, the churchmouse. She lives at Brunswick Street United here in Truro.

I probably should have had Vesta, or Caro or Professor Tassel carrying an Olympic torch to commemorate the run through Truro last evening.

Vesta appeared earlier in a powerpoint presentation but it didn't show up too well on the blog. I may removed it.
