Question for all you blog readers and At Home shoppers - We now have an area in the back of the store called "Workshop". In our store we have some very creative and talented people. My mom Marie, the expert interior redesigner for 20 years, featured on HGTV for 10... good job mom! We have my brother Brian, fabulous artist, musician, and now aspiring author. His wife Paz, extremely creative in the graphic design and apparel areas. And then me, Tracy, the um....QuickBooks specialist! (Exciting I know) It's been interesting working with three right brainers, as a left brainer myself, and we've decided it's finally time to capitalize on all that creativity.
The Workshop!
We've devised this area to offer our community classes, workshops, seminars, and the likes on various aspects of the right brain. But this is where I want your input. What would YOU like to see?
Marie can offer a wide array of redesign workshops such as how to set a great holiday table, hanging art, arranging furniture in a new way, even things like creating a fresh flower arrangement, planning a party menu or themed event (she's SO good at that), I mean the things she could show us go on and on. I'm hoping for a sewing class personally.
Brian and Paz have a ton to offer as well, as both of them studied the arts at many different colleges (Brian even went to France and Ireland art schools). Would you like to see craft classes? Art discussions? Music performances?
Now as for me, I could offer you.... how to organize a right brainer! Sounds fun, eh?
We also are reaching out to the community to say, if YOU have a talent you'd like to show others, let us know! Maybe there is a place for you in our workshop series!
I'd like your opinions on what kinds of things would interest you, the times to meet, is a 6 week series once a week too much? Or would you want a class once a month? I need feedback, so let's see if this works : )
Thanks everyone!

with all that talent around, it's bound to be a success! would the classes provide linear growth, with the student needing to attend each consecutive class? or would a learner be able to drop in for one class?
At this stage of my life (busy with 3 little kids), I'd be interested in periodic Saturday classes. This feels more manageable. I'm especially interested in the decorating classes, but all of the options sounded intriguing. Also, I'm happy about your decision to go green!
hey darling, I would love to do an arts and crafts series or what have you for kids. That sounds fun. I'm glad you are doing this!
