"The Nook"

Saturday, October 27, 2012

"The Nook" is a one-day workshop during which we will paint and decorate a lamp style roombox. We will finish the exterior of this fully assembled lamp base, which includes a four-way light switch (offering a wonderful nightlight interior), with a paint and stucco treatment. We will also stain the door and windows.

The magnetic front panel is removeable for ease of interior decorating with wallpaper and flooring as well as furniture placement (approximately 5" x 5-1/2" interior space). The door and two windows will be selected and purchased separately at the time of the workshop allowing you the opportunity to choose the style you prefer. The first model shown has the Palladian door and windows, but it is also available with Victorian or Traditional components.

The all-day workshop is October 27, 2012 beginning at 10:30 am. Remember, registration with your $85 payment is due by October 25, 2012. The lamp shade, door, and windows are NOT included in the base cost. You'll have the opportunity to select your favorite at the time of the workshop.

Winery Workshop

Join us for this two-day event during which we will construct a one-inch (1:12) scale, three-section roombox with patio, wine cellar, and tasting room. Participants will be provided with all materials necessary to build and decorate each area, all of which are enclosed in a wooden wine crate. Learn about creating textures with color and a variety of materials. The workshop will be held on November 3-4, 2012 (both Saturday and Sunday) at Jeepers. Class will run from about 10 am til 5 pm each day. Cost of the workshop is $165. Participants with a pre-paid registration will receive 10% off any purchases made during the workshop. Registration for the workshop is required by October 27, 2012. Photographs are of our finished, furnished, and accessorized wineroom/cellar model.

Jeepers 1st Annual Trees for Charity Event

Beginning Monday, November 7, 2011 we invited anyone to participate in our First Annual Christmas Trees for Charity event. You can still stop by Jeepers and pick up a free miniature Christmas tree to be decorated and returned to the shop for entry in the fund-raising competition. The tree must be mounted on a cardboard base not to exceed 6" square. All we ask is that participants agree to decorate and return the tree for display and judging throughout the month of December. Participants are limited only by their imagination! Create a country tree, a Victorian tree, a patrotic tree, whatever inspires you. Make your own ornaments, use beads, ribbons, whatever (non-food) items that you wish. Its all up to you. Its all for fun and a great cause. The trees will be on display in the shop throughout the month of December, during which time visitors will vote for their favorite tree by depositing money into the corresponding box above the trees. Anyone was welcome to participate. There are two categories: Youth (13 and under) and Adult. Prizes will awarded to one winner in each group. Trees are to be picked up the first week in January, following the event. Unclaimed trees will be sold.

Contact Jeepers (812-597-4346) for additional details.

All proceeds will benefit the Morgantown Community Kitchen. Trees will be on display the entire month of December. Vistors to the area and Jeepers are invited to choose their favorite. If you can't visit the shop, you can place your $1, $3 or $5 vote online using PayPal! The event is great fun and funds a great cause!
