The Reason for the Season!

As this year is coming to a close I want to give thanks to all of my Family, Friends, and faithful Followers who have been here for me throughout the year. 

Even this precious little girl reminds us that we can always give something of ourselves to others.

In a world so uncertain, what can we do? Spread light, joy, kindness, pay it forward even if it simply a smile and word of encouragement. One person at a time making a difference and the world a better place.

Why do I focus my site on The Arts of all kinds and an Artful Life?

The beauty of art impresses upon us something quite indelible; a magic like no other. 

Come out of hiding, break the shell in which we tend to protect ourselves! Make a difference and take a risk this year, go for it! 

Gift to those you can; just remember that the best we can give those we love is the gift of ourselves, our time. That is what is so precious and makes memories that last forever.

The Country Club Plaza in my city, Kansas City, at the Holidays, a tradition for all, something we always love and cherish.

So shine bright and light up this world with goodness, kindness and love!

Here's to a brighter year ahead in 2016!

Thank you to all who have been so supportive of  my new venture with India Hicks as a Style Ambassador. I took a chance and it has been a most incredible experience with amazing men and women! I encourage you to give this Gift to yourself!!

My new Venture has also given me the opportunity to give back to some of my favorite and most worthy Children's Charities!

Panache Chocolatier and Cafe on the Country Club Plaza

Last week I attended a reception at the newly renovated Panache Chocolatier and Cafe on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City. The new owners Julie House and Erica Ismert have created a beautifully classic decor for their premier establishment.

For thirty five years Panache has been locally owned and the only chocolatier on the County Club Plaza. This fall in addition to the highest quality of artisanal chocolates, the new cafe is offering specialty drinks and specialty desserts; adding new European cafe items to enhance the experience of a respite at this fine locale. 

Always renowned for their Corporate Gifting, the owners and staff offer a very personalized experience that brings clients back time and time again.

They can create your company logo and offer a variety of truly artistic presentations. They also have the ability to ship nationally as well as offer local courier service.

The shop is a wonderful venue to reserve for hosting Meetings and Conferences, Office Parties and Events, Wedding Showers and more.

Some perennial favorites are the much desired Signature Turtles, variety of Chocolate Truffles, Choco-Poppo, Choco Flakes, Chocolate covered Oreo, and much much more; so many treats you will not find elsewhere.

Order online as well at Panache Chocolatier.  They are located at 418 Nichols Road, Kansas City Missouri on the Country Club Plaza. Telephone at 816-931-3191. The Panache staff will give you premier service and an unforgettable experience!

Thank you to my Friends and Followers who support The Arts.

Please do leave a comment as they make my day!
