Surprise. I haven’t disappeared or been swallowed into the
deep abyss, although at times it felt that way. This has been a long, but
productive hiatus, as much was thrown my way, and much I needed to step back
from in order to gain new perspective. But not for a moment did I forget EVGA
or the brilliant spirit of our Victorian Goths, my beloved Victorianesque
Hallowe’en and the dream of a finishing school for our Darkling Debutantes and Young
Nocturnal Nobles. And naturally, I have been rebuilding the list of fabulously
talented artists I hope to showcase and share with you in the very near future.
Now to the best part of this post: A short announcement of
things to come. We have survived the longest day of the year and gleefully
welcome the shortening scourge of sunlight, so in celebration and in
preparation for the pinnacle of that day we celebrate year round, EVGA will be
featuring artists I had the pleasure of meeting at last year’s Keen
Halloween. (Look to the top right of my
page and you will see a link to the Keen Halloween site) This year is the
second annual gathering of brilliant local artists, crafters, performers,
writers and teachers of all things spooky, fun and family friendly.
What could be better than three days surrounded by
workshops, performances, characters and shopping? Know it will be right around
the corner from me. I can be a nuisance all weekend. So with that said, I am
off to get some more writing done, images gathered and a few other ideas off
the ground. And not to worry, I will still be adding to the Etiquette side of
the site with more opinions, observations and insight from deep, thoughtful
conversations and out-of-left-field questions from many of the non-lacey,
parasol-deprived, pastel-infused individuals I have encountered in my
adventures these last eight months away.
Thank you kindly for your patience. It’s good to be back.
Keep it Spooky, and if you cannot do that… keep it shrouded
in black lace for the time being.
