Unexpected Gifts

What feels more like Christmas than Christmas itself?... UNEXPECTED GIFTS! This past week has been full of them.

For example, on Thursday afternoon around closing time three lovely people stopped by the cafe doing research for a book in progress. Jodi - a talented photographer and proprietress of Studio B in the Crossroads - snapped some photos while we chatted and I made their coffees. I love seeing the cafe through new eyes!

I'll accept the every now and then when life showers you with surprises - thank you thank you thank you.

Ginny Sims : Ceramic Artist

Ginny Sims' ceramic pieces are soft, monochromatic works that are small and functional. Some hang, some go on tables, and so on.

Her work will be on display at the cafe from the Second Friday in March through the beginning of April. The opening reception is Friday, March 13th at 7pm.

Currently Ginny lives in Minneapolis and works at the Northern Clay Center as a technician. She's lived in Kansas City for 2 years working as an artist-in-residence at Red Star studios, as well as working part time at yj's.

Cake?Crisp?Brownies?Yes!Yes!Yes!

Art Openings at the Cafe

Songbird Cafe will begin to host art shows in the cafe. The openings will line up with those of downtown KCK galleries - the 2nd Friday of the Month. It's a chance for artists to show in an intimate setting and for another reason for us to celebrate each month.

So come on join us on February 13th, 2009!

Beautiful Things

This is a photo of a pair of cake stands that are for sale on ETSY. The larger of the two was featured on a great blog - www.kylabea.com - a truly fabulous compliment! A number of customers have collected the cakes stands for entertaining, home decor etc.
