Salutations! Please
join us for the
Larchmere Flea Market
&
Festival
Saturday, June 28, 11am-5pm
Returning after its first and
phenomenal year,
the Larchmere Flea
Market & Festival is more than a day of bargains and goodies, but
of
neighbors,
festivities, workshops and camaraderie. Tucked into corners and lots
up and down the 10 blocks of Larchmere Boulevard are 50+ dealers of
vintage
goods, antiques, art,
collectibles, and a special community flea market area. Community
resources, non-profit organizations and green businesses also display
information and answer questions. And food! (did we mention the
food?!)!
The Passport Project Global Dance & Music Collective will
perform 12-3pm, the Euclid Beach Rocket Car will ride the
Boulevard 1-4pm. A 50/50 Raffle and commemorative
bags-with-stuff-sacks provide fun fundraising opportunities. Workshops
and demonstrations enliven
the festival flair, including a mask-making workshop, sidewalk
chalking, drumming, spinning wool, health seminars, and making silk
suncatchers. Prizes are available to children who come in their
Parade the Circle costumes (it's good to have an
excuse to wear your costumes again!).
Loganberry Books features a Local
Author Book Fair with 2 dozen authors, including Les Roberts,
Gail
Ghetia Bellamy, Michael Heaton, Doris O'Donnell, Marian Morton, and a
host of others, from 11am-4pm.
The Festival will be a blast. Come be a part of a thriving
city
neighborhood that takes a step back in time but is fully planted in the
present.
Exciting
recent acquisitions
- Otis. The most exciting recent acquisition
at
Loganberry is this adorable little grey fuzzball who greets everybody
and plays and purrs and sits in the windows enticing the walkers-by to
come in for a closer look (I kid you not). He is pictured numerously
and his name explained on the Loganberry Blog, and we have new,
most fabulous, postcards. If you want a postcard, just let me know where to send
it. [Please note: Otis will not be attending the Flea Market,
but he is here most other days.]

Cloth Artists
Words to Live By
Thursday, July 3, 6-8pm
~ first Thursdays ~
The Contemporary Cloth Artists are local quilt makers who turn the idea
of stodgy old quilts upside-down. By incorporating words, images,
patterns and vibrant colors, this quilt show is part textile art, part
poetry slam. Come see the integration of words and texture in this
visual treat. Show runs July 3-August 4.

Hot
Thursday, July 10, 6:30pm-9:00pm
~ second Thursdays ~
It's a lovely season to relax and listen to jazz.... especially in the
warm acoustics of the LitArts room at Loganberry. Gene's Jazz Hot
delivers a happy melodious sound that makes you think you must be on
vacation somewhere -- goofing off and not a tad guilty. And that's a
good thing. Enjoy life. Donations
for the band
gladly accepted.

Show and Tell
Thursday, July 17, 7pm
~ third Thursdays ~
After six months of programs, it’s time to let you tell us about your
great finds and favorite gems. It doesn’t have to be rare or
expensive, nor do you have to have to know the provenance and history —
show and tell is all about learning from the group and sharing your
enthusiasm for a curio. So bring in a book and let’s learn from
each other! Join
us. $3

G477: Girl makes friends with witch who was left by
family turns into turtle
A girl becomes friends with a witch who was left in a deserted
house nearby. Goes home with the girl, takes the form of maybe a
turtle? Goes to school with her and helps with her daily struggles
(mean kids, test). Maybe the witch/turtle name is Merlin?? It maybe
also could be Max??? Not sure though. In the end the witch's family
comes back and takes her with them. Read this back in early 80's. Have
googled nonstop!! Can't find the name of it!! It is a small chapter
book, probably considered juvenile. Thanks for any help!!
Bloomsday Club
Thursday, July 24,
7pm
~ fourth Thursdays ~
Thanks to the folks at Visible Voice Books
and Nighttown for the Joyce celebrations! After
the Bloomsday events in June, it's back to the
work itself. We're still somewhere in the midst of the gigantic
Chapter 12. Novices and veterans alike are welcome --
it's a small informal group. We just sit around and talk about
Joyce for a while....
Austeniana Club
Thursday, July 24, 7pm
~ fourth Thursdays ~
We're on the last published Austen novel
this month: Persuasion.
But fear not, the group keeps going, as there are at least 2 fragments
of unpublished novels, the Gothic influence of Mysteries of Udolpho,
and sequels galore. In August we'll take on the first sequel
known, Sybil G. Brinton's Old
Friends and New Fancies, written in 1913. Come September,
we'll read either The Third Sister or Presumption by Julia
Barrett. What fun.
peace,
Harriett
