Level walls!


level, originally uploaded by Sweetland Retreat.

Our BFF Adam Junior came to visit and to work this past weekend. He was our first artist at the retreat and put in a lot of hard work building a wall in the workshop room. The wall is enclosing the stairs (with a beautiful antique glass door to be installed) and creates privacy for the master bedroom above the workshop.



Adam taught Brian how to frame out a wall and drew a detailed diagram so that Brian could build a half wall at the top of the stairs on his own.



Adam-- We love you!! Check out his sculpture on his website AdamJunior.com

Sweetland Retreat will be hosting an "Everyone Can Be An Artist" activity! Come to our table (near the library) and paint your heart away! We can give you some instruction or you can let your imagination run wild. No need for any art background... we want to show each participant that if you have the interest then you can paint! We encourage everyone to donate their masterpiece to the Retreat so that we can have a benefit auction in the Spring to raise funds for our renovation.

More about the FAB Fair--- This annual event attracts hundreds of people of all ages and with the variety of businesses, organizations and crafters their is always something for everyone. With this year's focus on interaction and making the event even more engaging- this will be a year not to miss! This event also is known for the Luck of the Draw Raffle with plenty of prizes and gifts for fairgoers to win. (We have donated one of Joy's photographs!) We have heard that GIfford's is giving out free ice cream! Don't miss this event!!!
