2015 Seaview Manor Bazaar

My retirement project for the past 9 years has been to organize and produce an arts and crafts bazaar that provides an outlet for coastal artists and benefits a charity. Two of the side benefits have been getting to know the community of Seaside and making some new friends. I love this bazaar!

Brianna Lichnovsky has designed a fabulous poster for us once again. Once she creates the design and paints it in watercolors, she sends it to me to add the text. She is staying with the ocean theme to coincide with "Seaview Manor Bazaar." I love the whimsical nature of her painting.

So now I add the text and bounce it off Carolyn, my co-chair, and Bree for their input. It changes a bit depending on the size of the poster or postcard. It may be something like this:

Bazaar

at Seaview Manor

135 12th Avenue

Seaside, Oregon 97138

October 23, 24, 2015

10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Credit is given to Bree for the artwork, and somewhere on the poster will be the following information: "Benefits The Harbor (formerly named the Clatsop County Women's Resource Center)".

We take 10% of the vendors' sales and donate all of it to The Harbor for their work with abused family members. The many hours that go into planning and conducting the bazaar are donated. If you notice the shifting between "I" and "we" it's because lots of people work incredibly hard!
