• G Street Art Fair. Mary will be at the G Street Art Fair on Saturday, July 11th.  What a great way to see and find great art to wear.
• Schedule your party. Instead of scheduled workshops, call Mary to set up times for you to come in with your friends and family.  $35 per person includes the dyes.  Since my birthday is that month – I’m planning on doing something special for those who also share July as a birthday month.  You have to call though! 244-7968
