It's been an interesting week at the Gallery.  I arrived Tuesday to discover that my neighbours d'Lish restaurant had closed their doors permanently.  It's always sad to see an independent business close down, especially sad when the news is somewhat unexpected and so sudden.  

Some say we must be crazy to open a small business in today's economy, I prefer brave.  There's no doubt it's a challenge - finding a balance between work and home, finding the balance in your bank account!  But the rewards far outweigh that challenge.  I have got to meet some really interesting people and some amazing artists.  The community on 124th street is supportive and enthusiastic and I can think of no better place to set up shop.

.I'm grateful to have been neighbour to d'Lish and to have had the opportunity to work with them.  I wish them all the best in the future, may they embrace new opportunities and here's to the future!
