Item Description
I would like to say merci to the Evanston Public Library Friends for being so creative and inventing “the 2010 Armchair Auction.” It was so exciting to participate and create my vision of a garden watering container. Special thanks to Valerie Nelson from Bedazzled at 2002 Central Street, Evanston. Her expertise and joyful encouragement made it a pleasure to fashion beads into imaginary sprays of water.
Janet Evans my former French instructor from the New Trier Extension program enhanced and corrected my efforts to communicate correctly in French. The following painted phrases are grammatically correct and reflect my sincere thanks for ample clean water.
Merci pour l’eau propre, brilliant et limpide.
Merci pour les belles fleurs et les belles couleurs dans le jardin.
Merci pour la pluie qui tombe du ciel.
Merci Monsieur Henri Matisse pour vos poissons rouges dans l’eau blanche.
(goldfish are called poisons rouges)
Merci pour les amies de la bibliothèque.
A Bientot,
Ruth Felton
Former Haven Art Teacher
