Dear Friends,
One look at the pictures (yes check out the movie below, I've learned something new) and you will see we had a blast at our Mothers Day Tea.
First the food was good-- especially the cupcakes by Erika and the Amish cinnamon bread from Denise. Have you heard of the endless bread chain? Well, I'll save the details for a future blog, but the premise is that if you follow instructions you and your friends can make bread for ever using the same source batter. Confused? So am I but the bread is delicious.
Jennifer's piano recital was absolutely beautiful. Performing Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Brahms and featuring Nathaniel Dett, a 19th Century, African-American Composer, gallery guests were overwhelmed with her talent and graciousness. Jennifer is completing her Masters in piano performance at Purchase University. I'll keep you informed about her performance schedule.
Not that Jennifer could be topped, but the day was also blessed with extraordinary and wonderful guests. Our gallery was filled with warm, friendly, giving and beautiful people. Old friends and new friends gathered to support the Parlor Gallery's first event in over two years and for that I am deeply grateful. Restarting the Parlor Gallery is a challenge in this current economy. However, it is my view, that this challenge will facilitate the re-emergence of Black entrepreneurship. And, if we all support each other, our communities and our businesses will thrive. Wouldn't that be a wonderful legacy for our children?
By the way, Estelle of Creative Blossoms located on Lewis Avenue in Bedford Stuyvesant, provided the loveliest flowers for our event. Thank you!
Thanks so much for your support and I'll see you June 27 when we present Artist Willie Torbert.
Best wishes,
Sheila
