Nostalgic Folk Art on Etsy Team TDIPT

Recently I joined the tdipt team on Etsy. I'm not that good at navigating around there yet and may never get to that level that some gals are but i do feel a safety in my tdipt group. Anyway i just added a couple of pieces to my "shop" there and here they are. So if you get a moment check out TDIPT in Etsy and see all the goodies from the TDIPT gals. Surely you'll find something you cant live without!

Nostalgic Folk Art for Bow WoW Bash

Its no secret i LOVE Dogs! I'd like to say Boston Terriers are my favorite dogs but really any precious face i'm looking at is my favorite!

Bowersock Gallery is having a charity event to help raise money for Pilgrim Bark Park up in their neck of the woods.




Here are some babies I have and am sending for the wonderful function and here is their press release,

At Bowersock Gallery
Friday, September 16, 7 to 9 p.m.

Buy a puppy painting and take a chance on Marc Jacobs’ apparel, while sampling treats from Bayside Betsy’s and Truro Vineyards – sounds like the “Bow Wow Bash (at Bowersock)” and the place to be on September 16.

“It’s fine art, fine items and so much more, but most importantly a way to support the Pilgrim Bark Park,” says Steve Bowersock, Bowersock Gallery co owner. “There’s a lot of Provincetown/Cape business coming together to help one of our own. That pretty much says town party.”

For it’s part the Bowersock Gallery has asked its national and regionally renowned artists to submit small works of dogs, or that reference dogs for this special occasion. It will also open its latest exhibit “Fall at Bowersock,” a salon style show featuring the entire stable. Bowersock will donate 10-percent from all evening sales to the town’s dog park.

In addition 40 local businesses will pitch in to make the event’s silent auction a success.

Among the items up for bid: Louis Vuitton luggage; Marc Jacobs’ attire direct from the runway, and a Cape Air commuter book, (valued at $999). There are gift certificate for numerous eateries including The Red Inn Restaurant, Jimmy’s Hideaway and Central House Bar and Grill. The broad selection of certificate include ones for Art’s Dune Tour, numerous flowers shops, cafes, animal services, grocery stories, bakery’s and liquor stores.

The event will be catered by Provincetown’s Bayside Betsy’s, and wine will be provided by Truro Vineyards.

“This is the second time Bowersock, along with many of the participating businesses, have put together an event to support a local nonprofit. Last event was an outstanding night of entertainment, which raised over $6000 for P-town’s The Soup Kitchen,” says co owner Michael Senger. “This is not an event to be missed. Not only is it one of the season’s highlights, but it supports a project with great community value.”


so please if your able support your local or any charity you can. I know the Gallery will raise money and have fun doing so.
