Tales Of Christmas Treasures | Christmas at The Johnston Collection 2013
7 November 2013-26 February 2014
A peek at some of the work (mine!) on show at the Johnston Collection in the "Blue Room". Eagerly looking forward to the opening night, we (Mornington Peninsula Artisans) spent the day at the Johnston Collection on friday talking through our works to the guides before the tours are open to the public. Can't wait to go on a tour myself and view this rather delicious exhibition as a whole.
Very honoured to be asked to participate, and thrilled to see our works in amongst the beautiful treasures in the collection. Happy Dance :-)
