feeling a little bare? Let Kris Cushing brighten your room with an original floral or a portrait. You just need

grandchild. Kris works in pastels and watercolors, and has displayed her work at Café Luna. This
original piece will be matted and framed.

Looking for thrifty

only requires four steps to make. Your afternoon will include instruction, the use of Anne’s jewelry-making tools,
and light refreshments. Be prepared to admire your wrist as you drive home from this entertaining afternoon. And
that wrist will sparkle all the more when you remember that sterling Byzantine-style bracelets sell for $200 in jewelry stores
(small print: The winning bid price does not include materials. There will be a $36 per head materials charge
to cover the sterling silver links.)
