&lt;div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;&lt;p&gt;I just returned from a successful one-woman show of etchings and watercolors at the Richard James Galleries in Cashiers, NC. Rick Mitchell and Debbie Staudt, owners of the gallery, hosted a beautiful reception which brought out a number of people. It was a pleasure to visit with so many people as excited about my work as I am. We all decided it is a must event to repeat next year! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div&gt;After a wonderful time in the North Carolina mountains, it is back home to continue getting ready for my next event in Sun Valley, Idaho. I'll have new etchings to show at the Sun Valley Center Arts &amp;amp; Crafts Festival which will be located in Atkinson Park in Ketchum. Please visit my website for more information.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div&gt;More later,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div&gt;Melanie&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div&gt;Melanie Fain &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;www.melaniefain.com&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
