Egg Painting

One week till Easter! I love Easter… (Mostly for the jelly beans. The old fashioned ones you can’t find anywhere on Earth anymore. )

The Golden Button was very lucky to get  some beautiful wooden eggs to share with you. Yesterday we had some lovely little egg painters come to visit. These eggs are great because you can save them forever!!! We have two more egg painting days.

This Friday from 2-5 P.M. and

Saturday from 12-5 P.M.

So come for a visit on Friday and Saturday to paint a wooden egg for $6.00. You can leave it and come back and I will be more than happy to varnish it for you!

We have a limited amount of wooden eggs!!!!

  We also had a Curly Sheep Needle Felting class!

There are still a couple of spots in the Make My Own Art Supplies class beginning tomorrow at 4:00 P.M. and running all the Mondays in April. For ages 3 and 4- cost is $55 for 5 classes!
