It's a Family Affair!

Our friends at the Franklin Park Conservatory will serve as host for a joint show featuring both Paul and Amy's creations.  Titled Partners in Life and Art, the exhibition is a true collaboration between the two mediums.  The exhibition begins April 7 and will conclude at the end of May.  Plan now to attend this one- of-a-kind exhibit.  More details can be found at: http://www.fpconservatory.org/partnersinlife.html

We're Preparing to Hit the Road!

Rave Reviews keep coming for Paul's latest works

"With rich color and complex composition, Hamilton's paintings are compelling.  His work is nostalgic but never formulaic.  His greatest strengths are capturing light, layering paint and tapping our desire for an illusive, idyllic world".

Columbus Dispatch writer Christopher A. Yates had these words to say about Pauls' latest exhibit at Hammond Harkins Galleries in Bexley, OH.  Although the exhibition may be over, Paul's style and ability leave us longing for more.  Read the entire review, and view the exhibition at    http://www.hammondharkins.com/exhibitions.html.  Our favorite is below:

GMC featured in Fashion Week Daily Dispatch

Ashley Baker found a laundry list of things she loves about Granville Millinery to share with readers of Fashion Week Daily Dispatch.  Most exciting, though, is the article's announcement of our plans to enter the wholesale market.  

Below is a quote of Amy's" included in the article:

"I make everything myself, so it was really impossible to handle large orders, but now I've been training local sewing contracters. They're all lined up--and we're ready to move forward!"

O Magazine, November

We can't decide what's more thrilling . . . having our Jackson Hole hat featured in the November issue of "O" Magazine, or how wonderfully updated model Gretchen Rossi looks wearing it.  Stylists took a "less is more" approach in updating Gretchen's style, and we think our hat offers the perfect, crowning touch.  Here's what they say about us: "the hat is sassy and fun, and gives her a bit of panache and intrigue."  The November issue of "O" magazine is available on newsstands now.  

Say Something

It seems as though everyone has something to say these days; the desire to be heard is epidemic.   While the worlds of myspace and facebook run rampant, we've found a more subtle, personal way to get your message across.

Mary McPhail and her team of creative talents at Wonderful Graffiti have elevated the simplicity of words to an art form.  The site allows you to create and view your personalized message, and the folks at Wonderful have super suggestions if somehow, you find yourself at a loss for words. 

The business has expanded to include two websites.  Take time to check out both of them.
