On Wednesday, August 20th at 10am, Thursday, August 21st at 1pm and Saturday,

August 23rd at 10am, at our Story Time we will read "The Lost Ears". “ONCE UPON A TIME…there lived a teddy bear named Harry, who was only two and a half inches tall.” All the best stories begin with magical words! After living a happy if uneventful life in his owner’s pajama pocket, tiny Harry has a big adventure: he’s accidentally put in the washing machine and drenched, spun, and hung out to dry. Even worse, he has lost his ears! Now poor Harry’s kept in a dark drawer with all the other broken toys. Only the kindness of a little girl might set him free again… The kids will paint a teddy bear today. The total cost is $10.00 - there is no charge for a sitting fee for this class. Pre-registration is recommended. 856-833-1330. The session should last about an hour. If your child wants to paint a second piece after Story Time, we will charge a reduced sitting fee of $4.00 (instead of $6.00) to cover the use of paints, tools, the glazing and firing.

 

Our next Diva Night will be on Thursday, August 21st. Our theme will be Jimmy Buffett. We did this last summer and it was a huge success. We'll have Jimmy Buffett music and good food. Our studio will be decorated to make you feel that you are in the tropics. So bring your Margaritas and we'll supply the Cheeseburgers in Paradise. The Pop Shop is donating the cheeseburgers and we have Pop Shop gift certificates for you to win. We'll have other snacks too.

 

So wear your hawaiian shirts, grass skirts, tank tops and flip flops. Bring your Margarita's, Corona Beer or Wine Coolers with you! We have water, iced tea and soda for sale. We expect this to be a lot of fun and a very popular night. Early reservations and your $8.00 deposit are required. We have sold out in the past and many hopeful Divas were disappointed. So make your reservations early. We will have Tom Jenkins, a Certified Massage Therapist and Michelle Carlino, a foot reflexologist- both from Yogawood of Collingswood - again providing you the opportunity to have a great massage at $1.00 per minute. Talk about heaven! So join us to paint, socialize, eat and have a massage - all at Reservations are required! 856-833-1330

On Wednesday, September 10th at 10am, Thursday, September 11th at 1pm and Saturday, September 13th at 10am, at our Story Time we will read "The Runaway Pumpkin". When Buck, Billy, and their little sister Lil spy the biggest pumpkin they've ever seen, they can't resist. Buck and Billy try to roll the pumpkin down the hill to show everyone, but it's too big! Before they know it, it's bumping and thumping and rolling out of control down the hillside. It busts through Momma Baxter's sty and makes her think of pumpkin pie. It knocks over Grandpa Baxter and makes him think of pumpkin soup. And when Poppa Baxter finally stops it in a pumpkin bed, all he can think of is pumpkin bread. The kids will paint a pumpkin today. The total cost is $10.00 - there is no charge for a sitting fee for this class. Pre-registration is recommended. 856-833-1330. The session should last about an hour. If your child wants to paint a second piece after Story Time, we will charge a reduced sitting fee of $4.00 (instead of $6.00) to cover the use of paints, tools, the glazing and firing.
