Tax Free Weekend



Lots to celebrate this weekend, for Beads on Broadway the third birthday brings savings in the form of no tax for the rest of the month. Come and see the tribute to Newfoundland beads. And of course Kate and Wills wedding! What a day! Local artist Laurie McGaw had been chosen to design the coin to commemorate it, and Dragonfly has one. Check it out at the mint.ca or drop in and fill in a ballot. We'll be making the Draw July 1st

Hugh Russel Rocks the Window



The sculptures in the window are breathtaking! Three large dancers and four small western themes with horses. Hugh captures unbelievable action in the cowboy clown and you can almost hear the conversation and feel the cold in another sculpture. Every small detail of harness, rock or tree is carefully rendered. But the dancers...they are just superb, grace beauty and strength portrayed in bronze. Hugh is working on an exciting project...more on that later.
