Used Stamp Sale - September 17

The Art House Studio will be hosting its first ever Used Stamp Sale in the Studio on

Saturday September 17, 2011 from 10 - 4

Mark your calendars!!

There will be stamps and stamp related products of all kinds for sale submitted by many of our friends and customers.

We all have stamps hanging around our creative spaces that we have loved but don't use any more. If you'd like to sell your stamps in our sale... here is how:

Contact me at the studio (519 954 6620) to let me know you are interested and I will send you a Stamp Sale "agreement", and a set of labels with an account number that you can fill out and bring to the studio with your stamps. A $5 Submission Fee is in place. This is a one time fee that will cover the costs of our sale and is good for 1 stamp or 100 and is required when you bring your stamps in. *smile*

After the sale, you will received 100% of your proceeds in the form of a Gift Certificate to the Art House Studio that you can use for new stamps, other products, studio time or even an in-house class. Sound good?

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Have a Creative Day Everyone!!

New studio Sneak

I'm back!!!!

And "pretty much" ready to go in the newly renovated studio. I'm so excited!!!!! I love how it turned out!

I'm having a little trouble with my camera so I will see what I can do to take a photo and share it with you all..... until then -- those in the area will just have to come by and see for yourself!!

I am open tomorrow from 10 - 5 as I have a group coming in to use the new space!

and then we are back to regular summer hours next week!!

Hope to see you soon!

The Art House Studio is Closed until at least

Friday August 12

for Renovations!! I am taking out a wall in the studio to make a larger, open, more creative studio space. YAY!

The floors in the studio are being done and will require varnishing. Due to the fumes involved in the sealing process, the official re-open date may change so please watch for news of the reno on the blog and on our FaceBook Page.

See you back in the studio very soon!

Hello Susan Weckesser!

While at CHA I was thrilled to be able to spend some time with my friend Susan Weckesser.

For those of you who don't know -- Susan is a fabulous designer, photographer, writer and artist from Alberta. She owns her own company called - Susiebee Designs and is a regular contributing writer for the Canadian Scrapbooker

Susan was one of the selected artists to participate in CHA's Crafty Couture showcase -- Love her dress!!! :)
It was so wonderful to see it there displayed as part of this fabulous exhibit. Congrats Susan.

I am proud to sell Susan's paper line (printed on heavy paper that is mixed media and "spritz" friendly) in the studio.... Fabulous!!!!
Have a creative day everyone!!! I'm going into the studio today to finish getting ready for the big renovations. Have a great Holiday Weekend!!
