Birdhouse Contest

I am entering a decorated birdhouse contest sponsored by the Grove Park Inn and Resort, in Asheville, NC.


Grove Park Inn and Resort is a beautiful hotel here in Asheville that is 98 years old.  Many famous people have stayed here, most recently President Obama and The First Lady.  Other visitors have included, F Scott Fitzgerald, Harry Houdini, Will Rogers, George Gershwin, Thomas Edison, Eleanor Roosevelt and Henry Ford. Not to mention presidents — William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard M. Nixon, George H. W. Bush, William J. Clinton.

The contest is this Saturday, April 16th.  As you can see, I am not finished yet~!  Back to the studio I go.

The Grove Park Inn and Resort, also host a Ginger Bread House contest every December and it is featured on Good Morning America.

I will show the finished birdhouse on Friday...

Oh Penny, I think you should win the contest. This birdhouse is beautiful. I adore the window. Your art ability with mosaics is stunning.

I love the Grove Park Inn. We have been there a couple of times to eat dinner. We didn't spend the night. We had friends who stayed there and visited them for several hours. This place is gorgeous.

I am off to walk three miles with Leslie Sansone. A DVD for walking in place. I love doing it with her. Theses mountains are a bit challenging for walking. It takes 45 sweaty minutes.

Have a wonderful day.
Love, Jeanne
