Toronto City Hall Art Show

For those Toronto residents who don't have a cottage and would like an art fix, take time this weekend to go and visit the 47th Annual Toronto City Hall Art Show. It is well worth the visit. http://www.torontooutdoorart.org/

I spent a couple hours visiting the various booths and helping a friend in her booth. Line Dufour and I met over 30 years ago while we both worked for Chargex, one of the first all -purpose credit cards. Stores used to have their own cards and then in the late 60's Chargex and Bank America issued credit cards. It was a real innovation. Many people did not have cards in those days and bank machines were just being introduced.

Many years later, Line is a tapestry artist and one of the many talented people exhibiting at the show. She taught me how to knit my scarves with the new style that I have adopted. Wonderful, what you can learn from friends and talented people.
