Merry Christmas!

Hi Everyone! Hope you are having a wonderful Christmas season - doesn't it seem to be flying by this year - or is it me?

Anyway, here's what's new in the land of Second Chance Art & Accessories -

I've been working on a few projects for a new restaurant - Osteria Ottimo - in Orland Park. They should be open sometime in January. Here's a picture I took this morning when I dropped off a few pieces:



The place looks fantastic inside so far, and if their atmosphere is any indication of how the food will be - I'm already a big fan! Check it out once it's open for some great Italian food. It's located off La Grange Road, behind Champs & Houlihan's in Orland Park.

Here's a sneak peak at the projects I've worked on for them:

From what they tell me, this saying involves God, Man, water, & wine. You'll have to go to dinner there to get the story straight!

In the next few months, I'm going to investigate having my website redone. The current site has served me well so far, but I have to admit I'm not cutout to be a "webmaster". I'm planning to get someone more technically inclined to reorganize & rebuild the site. We'll see how it goes. I've also got a fair number of orders to complete, and 2009 art/craft show applications fill out.
On a personal note - my husband & I are planning on moving to Minooka, IL. We've been fixing up a great old house to get it ready for the move. My husband's new name is "Captain Electric" - because he's managed to rewire the entire house to eliminate all fear of knob & tube wiring. For me, this means I get all the old porcelain insulators to incorporate into a great new piece of art!
take care - have a Merry Christmas - :) Amy
