Local Color

We are officially shop owners! We are planning our grand opening for Friday, March 13. Local Color will sell art by local artists and some gift items. I plan on having an Etsy shop as soon as we get settled. So far, we have 2 painters, a wire sculptor and one heckuva photographer.





Our shop is on 20th street in Galveston, right next to the Peanut Butter Warehouse. It's tiny and perfect. Once our house sells, we will move to the island permanently. One of our artists has offered to repaint our cute little sign.





















This is our schoolroom in the back of the shop. (And a big, huge gap between the photos cuz I don't have time to fix it right now...)



It's big enough for our school table, a couch and a desk. The back door opens up to an alley and really pulls the breeze through when the front door is propped open.
If you are thinking we are crazy, you may be right. But know that we have not made one single decision without much prayer and discussion. God has just moved quickly and we are thrilled! So check back for updates!

That is awesome! What a thrill to be able to do this as a family! I love that you get a schoolroom and can be who you are, doing your stuff together.
