New Display at BenPhil's

Rebecca, the owner of BenPhil's Children's Clothier , is excited about our new display of portraits that enhance their decor with images of beautiful children in their latest Spring & Summer Fashions . She said that the portraits help to show that, even thought they are well known for timeless, white and pastel clothing, they also have the most up to date styles and colors. We hope to update their store with more portraits of First Communion candidates, so if you purchase your First Communion outfit at BenPhil's, ask how you can receive a FREE portrait session in your new clothes!

"The Killing Tree" by Rachel Keener

I mentioned in an earlier blog post that one of our long-time clients, Rachel Keener http://rachelkeener.com/ has authored a novel , The Killing Tree. She has begun her "publicity tour" here in Winston-Salem, first at the library downtown, then at Barnes & Noble.
I had not been to a book signing for a novel before. I was and still am in the process of reading the book (it takes me a long time to finish a book!) I loved that I had already gotten to know the characters a little bit, but then the people in the story came to life as Rachel described them. So unless you hear something that spoils the ending for you, I recommend going to a book signing/discussion/reading while you are in the middle of it. There was quite a crowd there, the book signing line went all around the store and she was such a celeb being photographed with her fans, including me!
Her husband Kip was there, beaming with pride and said he would love a life of going from one bookstore to another for her books...she already has another novel in the works. Way to go, Rachel!

Comfort Ahead

Whether you are in feeling alone, needing comfort or just want to refresh your spirit, you will want to read Comfort Ahead, a book written by a local Christian poet, Jeff Messick.

Although I have known Jeff's sister for many years, I only met Jeff last month. However, it seems like we have been friends for a lifetime...he and his wife Janine are the sweetest, most sincere people you would ever want to meet. They live in Lewisville and even though Jeff is a Stone Mason by trade, he says these poems have been given to him by the Lord during situations that he has encountered with friends or sometimes just mere aquaintances. His story is one that you will want to hear as he weaves the tapestry of the poems with the lives of the people for whom they were written.

We have been truly inspired by his work and are creating a line of Poetry Art & Art Cards- blending photography, art design, poetry, scripture and sometimes portraits. Jeff is available for speaking engagements and poetry readings. We are looking forward to watching God work through Jeff's poems and the message of comfort it will bring. See his website for more information http://www.comfortahead.com/ . Check back often as we will have more items to show in the near future.
