Schedule of Events for Escalante, 2010

With over 30” of snow on the ground, it’s hard to think spring is on it’s way. But the Home Décor and Picture Framing Trade Show was all about spring. The framing/décor color for spring is Turquoise with Coral accents. You’ll probably see much the same, only in different tones, from the garment industry. Think silver and black to go with it. If you want a softer look, use copper tones. That combination radiates warmth. And remember, Turquoise is a combination of blue and green – there’s a wide range of turquoise between pure blue and pure green. Not sure what combinations to use? You’re welcome to come in and use my color wheel if you don’t own one.

I received a new quilting catalog and was surprised at how many patterns and kits were based on the turquoise pallet. I don’t quilt, but I bead quilt patterns and I’m helping put together a small show on “The Life of Quilt”. You’ll hear more about it as we get closer to the Heritage Festival Memorial weekend.

Winter openings – Circle D open Super Bowl Sunday at 2 PM and will serve a special buffet only. Starting Feb. 12th they’ll open Fri and Sat. from 3 – 8 PM. Sunday brunch 11 – 3. Cowboy Blues should reopen about the same time and Georgie’s will close for a while. Check with Georgie for exact dates.
