Vintage Becky

Birmingham artist Becky Denny was in her element last Friday night. Showing her work at the yet unfinished lobby of our Lyric Theatre, her vintage mixed media work was perfect, shown on the bare walls!  This piece, MY WARDROBE, brought back many memories of vintage sewing patterns that I remember!

The Grand Marshal

Fabulous Birmingham photographer Liesa Cole was the Grand Marshal of this year's Bike Parade and Fishing Rodeo at Avondale Park.  She got in the decorating spirit herself with her Regions bike adorned with fly swatters and that knock out hat festooned with flowers.  Below she awards the First Prize for Best Decorated Bike!

You Make Me Feel Like Dancing

This past weekend, I celebrated my 50th Shades Valley High School reunion along with about 270 friends.  We were the largest graduating class in Shades Valley's history, 650+.  Many friends of our class joined us, and it made for a terrific weekend full of reminiscing, many laughs and dancing to The Ramblers.  The Ramblers were a group we loved in high school and lucky for us, they're still playing.  Good times rolled!
