The Otter Fountain
I could have taken a million photos in Philadelphia, but instead I took a LOT of an otter fountain. But it was so cute! More bonus cute: I'm ready to go back :D Happy Mother's Day!

Philadelphia Details
So I have been in Philadelphia this last few days, and it was fabulous. The weather was perfect, and K and J and I walked and walked and walked..and bought shoes :D Here is K, new shoes, and some gardening at a local fire station near Chinatown. Mr. Tuppy at home. He was actually Mr. Friendly, and very hairy. I bought him a brush, though I am not sure he was excited about it. Photo of a photo at the Convention Center..a dollhouse! The Hall of the Dwarven King, aka the convention center. Penn Museum Roman dollhouse :D Egyptian Throne Room for ants...or scarabs. Hello Kitty at the Sanrio dealer! The crowd at the Trocadero window. Hotel view of the Galleria building being rebuilt. One of the things about being in a city hotel in the summer, is that around 7 AM, the local guys say "Let us sing you the song of our people!" and then" BRAPAPAPAPAPAPAPAP go the jackhammers. The hotel was actually pretty soundproof--the hammering and sirens...
K's Street is not plowed...
But since this is Philadelphia, there isn't much space to move snow. Photo by K.
GraduationGallery
I flew to Philly Thursday to see K's graduation show, go to a doll meet, and visit friends. The gallery "closing" was a great success. I left the food alone so there would be more for everyone else but it looked spectacular, one of the other students catered it. Here are the gallery grads: K first: Totally stolen from K's facebook: Rebecca: Victoria: Ayla Jayne: The art was inspiring, I especially liked Ayla Jayne's brushwork; it made me want to go home and do some acrylic painting again.
