Antique Postcard Art's 2010 Show Schedule

her seven-year old Portuguese Water Dog

As you will read on my biography page, twenty years ago I was fortunate to have launched a business that allowed me to combine my love of art, and antiquities.  Throughout the years, I have had the opportunity to work with many interesting clients, using antique postcards from their personal archives, or searching for a hard to find card to create unique pieces of artwork designed for each customer.

 

Many of you may not know, that for the past year, I have been conducting research and writing a book that uses vintage postcards to tell the story of the little known event called National Dog Week that has been observed in the United States for eighty years.  Once again, it's allowed me to combine my old loves of antique postcards, art, and now, writing, and dogs.

 

To that end, I am reaching out to clients, friends, and family, asking them to share their personal stories of National Dog Week celebrations and observances across the country.  This year, National Dog Week occurs the week of September 21st.  It's not too late to plan an event, or pass this along to someone who has done something special for dogs during NDW in the past.

 

Groomers, Vets, trainers, rescuers, students, librarians, educators, and civic leaders....all those who wish to honor our dogs during that week are invited to share their "tails."  Please just sent your contact information, affiliation (if applicable) and contact information.  Do not send photos or attachments at this time.

 

Help keep National Dog Week alive and barking and sign up for my Autonotify feature to keep informed about upcoming arts events, and book news!

 

Sincerely, 

Lisa Begin-Kruysman
