With less than two months away from the opening for House of Scratch presents: Mind Field 2009 Group Exhibition, it was time to sit down and work out which direction my work needed to take to fulfill my sense of joy in making art, explore the fundamental nature of Surrealism, and create artwork  in a more timely fashion.

Living Introverted: Learning to Embrace the Quiet Life Without Guilt

by Lee Ann Lambert
ISBN: 978-1441464057, $13.95US

A Book Review by Cathrene Gehue

Weather permitting has been something of a catch phrase this summer. Sick of the rain yet? I certainly am. For two weekends, Sean and I have been planning a yard and bake sale to raise money to reduce the cost of hosting House of Scratch’s inaugural physical group exhibition only to cancel due to the weather.

According to weather predictions, Saturday, August 1, 2009 promises to be a good day, where hopefully everyone who has been hiding in doors to avoid getting wet will finally emerge to get some fresh air and sun.  

So… Without further ado… The House of Scratch Yard & Bake Sale Extravangaza will be held…

August 1 (Saturday): 7am to whenever – weather pending!

2-276 Gilmour Avenue (Toronto, ON)

We have a great mix of items on sale, some new, some gently used. Among the big ticket items are an electric guitar and amp and a lonely snare drum looking for a drum kit to call home. There will be various housewares, childrens toys, arts and craft supplies, books, videos, and PC video games, not too mention baked goodies. Yum! Also available will be raffle tickets for an original Sean Chappell original.

To anyone in the Toronto area, hope to see you there!
