Canton Public Library
1200 S. Canton Center Rd.
Canton, MI 48188

Price: Free
Recommended For: Ages 3-10
“Star of Kindie Rock” – Time Magazine
“The show is a cross between ‘Yellow Submarine’ and Dr. Seuss.” – The New York Times
Groovy Gustafer Yellowgold is a small, yellow, cone-headed fellow, who came to Earth from the Sun and has a knack for finding himself neck-deep in absurd situations as he explores his new life in the Minnesota woods.  Illustrator/songwriter/musician Morgan Taylor developed the “musical moving book” Gustafer Yellowgold experience as equal parts pop rock concert and animated storybook.
Gustafer Yellowgold’s Show is a multi-media performance of live music, animated illustrations and storytelling. With its unique crossover appeal, the show has been the wild-card opening act for Wilco and The Polyphonic Spree.  Gustafer has appeared off-Broadway in his own productions of Gustafer Yellowgold’s Mellow Sensation and Gustafer Yellowgold’s Infinity Sock. In addition to touring nationally to arts centers, children’s museums, theaters and music venues, Gustafer has ventured abroad for performances in the U.K and even Korea!

Antiques Roadshow’s 2013 Stops in Detroit

January 8, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Silver Teapot

I love watching Antiques Roadshow!  It’s so fun to hear the history of items and see people’s faces when they find out what items are worth!  I have a few antiques that have been handed down to me and would love to know if I have a special piece in my possession!

Antiques Roadshow,  has announced its summer 2013 tour, increasing the tour by two cities and the overall number of new episodes in its 18th season to 35.

“By adding more cities to this year’s tour, Roadshow fans will get their fill as we’re producing more Roadshow than ever before,” said executive producer Marsha Bemko. “We’ve expanded to include two additional stops, which means meeting an additional 10,000 guests this summer. With an eight-city tour we’ll be treated to even more discoveries of America’s stories.”

Programs taped during the 2013 summer tour will make up Roadshow’s 18th broadcast season on PBS, premiering in January 2014.

Roadshow’s 2013 tour features local appraisal events at which some of the country’s top experts offer free evaluations of antiques and collectibles—revealing the often-surprising history and value of these items.

Antiques Roadshow’s 2013 stops in Detroit on June 1.

VERY Last Minute Gift Ideas

December 24, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Here’s the scenario… It’s Christmas Eve and oh no!  you forgot to get a gift for your sister’s husband’s brother’s wife who will be at your house on Christmas Day.  OR…you were in charge of bringing dessert and it totally slipped your mind until today.  This is your LAST chance to get SOMETHING!

Here are a few last minute ideas that are sure to get you in good with the family and put smiles on everyone’s faces…

Aren’t these cakes from Baskin-Robbins the cutest, most adorable things you have ever seen!  Run, don’t walk over to grab one for dessert!  Everyone will smile when they see one of these cute faces sitting on the table and smile even bigger once they take a bite!

Almond-Roca
What is Christmas without Almond Roca?  I grew up with my father buying Almond Roca every year and then, I started buying it for him every year to go with whatever gift I was getting him as a little add on.  Let the tradition live on!

Bring out the creativity!  Grab a set of acrylics, paint brushes and a few canvases.  Wrap them up and voila!  Maybe, if you are lucky, that someone who received this gift will paint you a magnificent piece of artwork!  The gift that keeps on giving!

Sears opens at 7am today and stays open until 5pm, so you still have time to grab a nice bottle of perfume for that special someone!  For store hours and locations… Sears Store Locator.

I hope my mom and sister aren’t reading this post because I picked up these little Marc Jacobs bags up at Target and they were HALF OFF!  These will be perfect tucked into their purses filled with their favorite makeup or even tucked under their arms for an evening out on the town!  50% online and in store!

 

I hope these ideas helped you in your last minute shopping!  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
