| LAST-MINUTE. LOCAL. POP-UP SHOP. PHOTOGRAPHS & DRAWINGS. STAUNTON, VIRGINIA. |
 |
| A balmy day in Staunton Virginia. December 21! the doors of the old Historic Staunton Building are wide open for the first time in...years! Peter Aaslestad's studio is transformed into a Holiday Pop-Up Shop featuring many of Peter's famous Staunton photographs as well as architectural map-drawings by me, Kirsten Sparenborg / Turn-of-the-Centuries. |
 |
| A sandwich board invites folks to come on down to the shop, by the train station, from Beverley Street. |
 |
| Come in... |
 |
| We mixed black and white photographs and ink and watercolor drawings on the gallery walls. Architecture, in subject and approach, is a strong underlying connection in the work. |
 |
| This was the first time I've framed my Staunton drawings. It was nice to see a body of Virginia drawings - Virginia Tech, UVA, Front Royal and, of course, Staunton - all together. |
 |
| Peter's curiosity xylophone served as a nice display for his photographs. |
 |
| Help yourself to "Swig" sugar cookies with sour cream frosting or ginger cookies with orange buttercream frosting or fresh, homemade gingerbread. I gift-wrap, too! |
 |
| The sun set on the longest night of the year and the shop glowed blue... |
 |
---while the gallery inside glowed warm and inviting.
It invited some of the most interesting and community-minded folks in town - including a new family here just a week, embarking upon a fixer-upper, armed with training and energy and a fantastic zest for life. |
 |
| Prints and Postcards! |
 |
| Night fell and the crowd grew in this intimate space, still room for friendly dogs. |
 |
What a wonderful way to meet people and participate in the Local Economy!
The Holiday Pop-Up Shop was a Success!
THANK YOU to all the wonderful folks who stopped in - keep in touch, |
HELD OVER to Monday, December 23 10am - 2pm. Come by!
Peter Aaslestad Studio. 120 South Augusta Street, by the Depot.
