Riches

There's now about 42 boxes in the office, perched on top of book shelves and cabinets.  The office is going to feel so empty when they are gone!



Where will we be without Anna Funnekotter's cheerful box, "Follow Your Heart", to brighten our day?  We love our work, but seeing all the amazing art that has been contributed to Planned Parenthood Ottawa can't help but humble and warm us.



(The colours are even brighter in person.)

Herman Ruhland's "Art for a Cause" makes it feel like summer in here, even though its starting to get cold outside.



You really have to see this one in person, the texture is engaging.


I'm not going to lie, I keep hoarding boxes in my office!  You know, for the blog.



 

Shanna Steals' "Reliquary" features beautifully detailed carvings of leaves.  To me, it speaks of the connection between the past and the present, and how we choose to safeguard precious memories.

Like, for example, throwing an amazing gala on Thursday!
