Donna speaks in New York last weekEngebretson bee set

 
 
Hanson Galleries' Donna Milstein, center, served on a panel discussion at the New York Gift Show last week on the Issues facing the American craft movement.  Serving on the panel with her were the editor of American Craft Magazine and the owner of Guild.com.  She is making a point with her power point demonstration.  Donna is available to local artist guilds and groups for lectures on "How to market your work to a craft gallery/store."
Blake continues to improve
 
We have this update
for all the interested customers who have been asking about Blake.
 
Blake's progress is coming along slowly.  He has been moved to the Texas Institute for Rehabilitaion and Research where his therapy is hard, but he's enjoying doing it.  Because of tubes being removed he was able to talk for the first time last week.  He had been able to communicate only in writing for 6 weeks.  His back surgery is healing, but still the prospects are slim of his ever walking again.
 
 
Hanson Galleries employees have given many hours of support to Blake and his family.  We offer heartfelf thanks to those customers who have donated to him.  He needs all the help he can get and it is greatly appreciated.
