Meredith and Elizabeth Twins for a Day

Fellow PR team member, Meredith Schneider, and I were twins on Monday. We knew we had the same blouse, but neither called the other to say we were planning to wear it.  I guess great minds think alike!  We had a good laugh about it.

If you’ve never eaten at Sunflowers Café on West Peace Street in Raleigh, September would be a good time to visit. Our own Ann Neely will have show of her latest ‘Plein Air’ watercolors on display at Sunflowers through September.

All of these works are of Raleigh or North Carolina historic neighborhoods, painted ‘en plein air’ (outdoors).

  • ‘500 Blount’ was juried into the Raleigh City Museum’s ‘Historic Landmarks of Raleigh’ show which ran through the summer
  • ‘Devereux Street’ took first place at the 2010 Raleigh ‘Paint-Out’


All the work has museum quality framing, and is ready to display in your home. Ann will be there on First Friday and would love to see you there!
