Queen B's ... Continued



Sean setting up for the afternoon of music
As mentioned in my previous posting, the Queen B's Cafe here in QC is an exceptional place. It is warm and welcoming, quiet and soothing, yet (at times) boisterous and energetic.
That energy level reached a peak last Sunday (August 29) with the 'Auntie Buttons Art Show and Pizza Party (including 'made-for-the-occasion' Auntie  Button Cup-Cakes!) with LIVE Entertainment!'

It was a 2pm - 4pm family friendly gathering that celebrated the art work of Kim, Jody's sister, (who got the stage name of  Auntie Buttons from her nephew, Isadore.)                  


Auntie Buttons felted works on the wall

With the works of art on display, and the pizzas, cupcakes, and coffees (as well as other beverages, of course) heated up, and the music rocking, it all combined to provide a wonderful way to pass a drizzly Sunday afternoon.

Kim chatting with Laurel

Since it is a small facility, the 'crowd' of 25 - 35 patrons overflowed onto the outdoor patio; and the enthusiasm and joy of those present (actually well represented in the artwork, as you can see in the accompanying pictures) was quite apparent (of course, the playing and dancing children helped, as always).





Jim exchanging stories with John and Donna




Conversations flowed as easily as the many cups of 'whatever' (Jim preferred the regular dark roast while I was partial to Bonnie and Dana's lattes!), and we enjoyed, so much, the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that a venue like this could provide.
Bonnie and Dana were pleased, Kim was delighted to sell a few of her works, and all who attended , I really believe, quite enjoyed with the whole experience.



Art representing life / life representing art !?!

Whatever ... a good (no, a GREAT) time was had by all!!



Thanks to those who made it all happen.
