On 12-3-11 we held our first anual Holiday Marketplace Event at Lovelle House. It was a great success. We had many wonderful vendors and lots of family, friends, co-workers and many new friends stop by to support us. Unfortunately we did not have enough space to accomodate all of the artisans that wanted to network.
Therefore we are having a 2nd event on 12/17/11 from 1pm to 6pm. You are welcomed to join us. There will be a variety of great gift items, and many yummy holiday treats. We hope you will join us.
Come early. The first 10 purchasing guests will recieve a goody bag filled with nik- naks from each of the vendors.
Happy Holidays and Happy Kwanzaa
Sculpture
The ART of Natural Hair African Venus” was created by the sculptor Charles Henri Joseph Cordier in bronze in 1851. The sculpture was created as a companion piece to an earlier work created by Charles Cordier entitled “Said Abdullah of the Mayac, Kingdom of the Darfur”. The model was a young African woman by the name of Seïd Enkess who was a former slave in France. Both busts became popular after France abolished slavery in 1848. Charles Cordier himself was sympathetic to the abolitionist movement and believed in the beauty and equality of all races.
